Childcare & Camps

A Path with a Purpose

The Y offers youth a path with a purpose. From early childhood to their teen years and beyond.

The destination? A well-balanced adult with character, ambition, and social skills. We have created safe and supportive environments that promote each child’s self-confidence, curiosity, cooperation, and creativity.

Infant to Teen

Your child’s full potential is found here.

In early education, children learn and grow through creative curriculum and exceptional care. Once in our school age programs, they get the support they need inside and outside of the classroom, make friends and become future leaders.

Enriching Programs for Youth and Teens

The YMCA of Rock River Valley provides free drop-in childcare while you work out, before & after school programs, and camps for every stage of childhood. Our programs are more than just an after-school or summer activity. They are designed to develop social-emotional learning while helping youth achieve their goals, make new friends, and belong. Help your child discover their full potential at the Y.
