Summer Camps

 

2024 Camp Info Coming Soon!

Extended hours are $80 per week

During the school year, check out our full-day Holiday Camps!

STEAM Summer Camp provides a chance for young people to enjoy arts and crafts, activities in science and technology, recreation, water play, and outdoor summer fun.

Weekly trips are a staple of STEAM YCC; trips include visits to the Whitney, the Natural History Museum, the Paley Center, our annual visit to Six Flags, and more!!

STEAM Camp offers children a unique experience guided by talented instructors, resident artists, academics, and CIT graduates. In the spirit of a true community center, we put value first. With high value in mind, we keep our groups small and our teacher-to-child ratio high. Snack time at YCC means fresh fruit, parfaits, and many other healthy options.

  • You can sign up for weekly sessions, for the month, or the whole term. We’re flexible.
  • Our objective is for campers to learn the value of teamwork, friendship, diversity, and self-esteem.
  • Our team works to bring opportunities for artistic expression, STEM enrichment, friendship, and life-long memories.

Open to children grades K through 8 (children expected to enroll in kindergarten in September ’23 or newly graduated from 8th grade as of Spring ’23).

Health and Wellness Protocol

1.  Due to the increase of transmittable illness in NYC, we want to stress the importance of masking.  It is a safe and effective way to contain the spread of any/all of the major illnesses in our community. Our goal is to provide a safe and fun environment; masks and testing are our best tools to ensure this. Please provide your child with a few extra masks.

2.  We are implementing a policy for all staff and students to get tested each Sunday. If you need a home test kit, we can provide one for you. If your child tests positive, you must isolate them at home for five days and test before returning to YCC symptom-free.

3.  If your child is vaccinated, please provide us with a copy of their vaccine card to have here on file.

4.  If your child is sick, please have them stay home and monitor their symptoms. We are required to do wellness checks every day. Children found too ill to participate will be sent home for the safety of the child and the community.
