No School? Time for Camp!
When school is out, camp is in! Tampa YMCA offers Kids’ Day Out holiday day camp during no school days (following the Hillsborough County School District calendar).
Children can make new friends and have fun in a safe and structured environment at camp. All activities take place under the guidance of trained Tampa Y counselors, who embrace the values of our organization. Our holiday day camp program includes games, crafts, swimming and more for children ages 5 to 12 (children must have completed, or currently enrolled in kindergarten to participate in the program).
