Parent's Night Out
Parents, do you need to run some errands or just have some well earned R&R? Then bring your child to the YMCA where you can feel confident that your child will be well taken care of. We will spend the evening swimming, playing games, creating and learning. Children will be separated by ages to ensure a quality experience. Please bring a swimsuit and towel. A light snack will be provided.

Half Day Adventures
Your child will get a quality learning experience during their fun filled afternoon. Each half day off will have time set aside for the arts, music, science and physical activities to get their hearts pumping. Please bring a swimsuit, towel, shoes to run in and a lunch (or eat before coming). An afternoon snack will be provided.

Full Day Adventures
When Marquette Area Public Schools are out, the YMCA is in! Come to the Y and keep your minds working with activities focusing on the arts, sciences, music, physical activity and most importantly, fun. Please bring a lunch, swimsuit, tennis shoes and weather appropriate clothing. An afternoon snack is provided.

Spring Break Camp
If your child has enjoyed our programs in the past, then they will love this program! This six-day camp will allow your child to choose the activities that they like best. We will have break out sessions throughout the day where your child can either choose a sports clinic or drama/arts class where we will learn and perform a play. We will still come together as a group for swimming, games and other activities, such as "Healthy Cooking" with Sherri Rule, registered dietician.
