YOUTH DEVELOPMENT

From camp to childcare to after-school activities to sports and more, the Y offers holistic programming that enhances, protects, and nurtures the unique development journey of every child and teen. 

PLAY AND LEARN CENTER

Our Play and Learn Center is an exclusive member benefit for children ages 3 months to 10 years old. Our trained staff will watch and entertain your kids during scheduled morning and afternoon hours while you attend Oswego Y classes or workout in the fitness center. Our staff creates a nurturing environment of warmth, friendliness, and freedom, leading children through a variety of fun & safe playtime activities including stories, crafts, dress-up, and active play. This is free with your Oswego YMCA family membership, and additional fees may apply if you leave the building or are a nonmember. The participating child must be a Y member; an adult-only membership should be converted to a family membership to receive this benefit.

SCHOOL AGE CHILD CARE

The Oswego YMCA is excited to offer safe, fun, and creative before and after-school programming at our local elementary schools.

This program provides convenience for working parents by offering care Monday through Friday before and after school hours. Our program assists in the continual socialization of your child. It encourages children to participate in activities that will benefit them mentally, physically, and emotionally. The children are given the opportunity to interact with one another and with adults. The program will foster children’s personal growth and cultivate self-confidence. It provides a warm and friendly experience for children.
