YMCA Camps: Safe & Fun Care When School’s Out

When school is closed, the Ransburg YMCA is here for families in the eastside community — including Warren Township, Irvington, Cumberland, and New Palestine neighborhoods — with camps kids love and parents trust. In our School’s Out Camps for school breaks, holidays and professional development days, we create a safe, welcoming space where every child feels they belong.

Our School’s Out Camps combine active play, hands-on learning and meaningful friendships so kids grow in confidence, character and curiosity. Guided by compassionate, skilled staff, your child will be encouraged to try new things, celebrate achievements and build lasting relationships.

We partner closely with parents — because no one knows your child better than you — to ensure every day at camp supports their growth and happiness. At the YMCA, we’re more than a place to be when school’s out, we’re a place to thrive.
