EARLY CHILDHOOD SUMMER CAMPS
2026 Registration Opens January 5th!
Our Early Childhood Camp offers a nurturing, full-day summer experience for children ages 6 months through 3 years, designed as an extension of our trusted, licensed Early Learning Center.
With the same caring educators, routines, and developmentally appropriate approach families rely on during the school year, this program provides a smooth, comforting transition into summer. Each day is thoughtfully structured to support early learning, socialization, play, and exploration in a safe, supportive environment.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
At the YMCA of Greenwich, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to experience the joy, safety, and growth that camp provides. Providing access to affordable, high-quality childcare and camp experiences is a core part of our mission, and financial assistance helps ensure every child in our community can belong, learn, and thrive at the Y.
All families are welcome to apply for financial assistance—having a job or steady income does not automatically disqualify you. If you feel you may need support, we encourage you to apply and allow our team to review your application.
