School's Out Camps

The Y is a working parent's best friend. When school is out for winter or spring break, teacher work days, or other one-off holidays, the Y is in with all-day, fun active childcare. It's a win-win. There's no "I'm bored!" from the kids, and you don't have to stress while you're at work.

School's Out Camp is an all-day, fun, active program for school-age kids. We follow the Asheville City, Buncombe County, and McDowell County public school calendars. Our full-day program is from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Registration closes five days before date of program. Sign up for single days or a full week. Cost: $40 day/$200 week and applicable registration fee ($65 per family for the school year).
