A fun safe place outside of school.

The Hammond Y gives children a fun place to learn and play when school is not in session. It also gives parents the peace of mind that their children will be cared for and have fun all summer long. We offer a variety of camps for children ranging in age from five years old to 13 years old. We also provide child care during school breaks, see our Child Care page for details. 

Camp times generally run from 9am to 4:30pm with before and after camp care available at no additional charge from 6am to 6:30pm.

Preschool Camp

The Hammond Y Preschool Department offers a day camp for children ages 3-5. It’s a big kid camp for little kids. This daily camp will promote the Y’s four core values of Honesty, Caring, Respect and Responsibility. Children will have a balanced day of activities, learning, play time and quiet time all based around a different weekly theme.  We will do theme-based crafts, games, outdoor activities, swimming and lunch. This camp is supervised by the YMCA Preschool Pals teachers and qualified staff.
