Childcare & Camp Overview Programs

Safe, nurturing programs that help children learn, grow, and thrive — all year long.

A Place to Belong — A Place to Grow

At the YMCA of Coastal Carolina, we believe that every child deserves a safe, encouraging space to discover their potential. From early learning and after-school programs to summer camp adventures, our childcare programs are built on the Y’s core values of Caring, Honesty, Respect, Responsibility, and Faith.

Our dedicated staff focuses on creating environments that support social, emotional, and academic growth — helping children develop confidence and curiosity through hands-on learning and play.

After School Care

At the YMCA of Coastal Carolina, we know families need more than just after-school supervision — they need a program that helps children succeed in school, in life, and in character.

YMCA Early Learning Academy

at Coastal Carolina University

The YMCA Early Learning Academy at Coastal Carolina University (CCU) is a powerful partnership between the YMCA and CCU’s Spadoni College of Education and Social Sciences, designed to expand access to high-quality, affordable early childhood education.

School’s Out Camp

When school’s out, the Y is in! Afterschool Care and School’s Out Camp provides a fun, safe environment for children to explore new interests, stay active, and make friends during after school hours, school holidays and teacher workdays.

Summer Camp

Summer at the YMCA of Coastal Carolina is full of laughter, learning, and lifelong memories. From traditional day camps to specialty programs, campers build friendships, develop new skills, and grow in confidence and character.

Child Watch

Childcare while you work out! For up to two hours per day, children on family accounts between the ages of 6 weeks and 12 years old are welcome.

Parents Night Out

Need a night to relax? Parent’s Night Out gives parents the evening off while kids enjoy games, crafts, swimming, and a family-friendly movie — all supervised by our caring YMCA staff.
