In addition to providing "aqua entertainment," the YMCA is the answer for parents in need of a safe place to send their kids this summer. Day camp for youth ages 5-15 runs June 11 through Aug. 24, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m.-4 p.m. To accommodate parents' schedules, the Y provides free care for campers from 7-9 a.m. and 4-6 p.m.

The Y offers dozens of camp choices, including traditional, cooking, science, zoology, rock climbing, glamour girls, sports and cheer. Camp includes structured activities such as swimming, arts and crafts, group games and character development activities, plus add-on field trips.

Weekly camp prices start at $136, and a daily drop-in rate of $46 is available. No one is turned away because of an inability to pay. Financial assistance is available.

Day camp and Sizzlin' Summer passes are available at all four Y locations. Visit lasvegasymca.org to learn more.
