JYC Youth Programs are enrolling for summer programs. These programs are open to youth aged 9 and up, and will follow CDC and NYS Covid-19 guidelines at this time.
Please note that filling out this form does not guarantee your youth a spot in programs. Group sizes are limited, and in order to give all youth an opportunity to attend, early registration may not ensure participation. Thank you!
Most programs meet Monday-Thursday from 9am-4pm. Please note the few exceptions. We may offer opportunities to swim at lifeguarded locations such as Myer's Point and Treman Park. Youth should bring swimwear and towels if interested in swimming. Since many of our programs are outdoors, we encourage youth to dress for the weather, bring extra clothes/layers, and lunch and a water bottle each day. Thanks!
