AFTER SCHOOL CARE
NOTICE: After School Care, Schools Out Camp, and Y-CAP programming is temporarily relocating due to renovations at the YMCA beginning Monday, October 28th. We will be temporarily relocating to Westside Elementary School. This location change is only temporary, and we anticipate this change to last approximately three months. We will communicate with families as the process continues. The address for Westside Elementary School is 700 Westside Street in Athens.
At the Y, kids have the opportunity to experience physical and engaging activities that encourage them to make friends, have fun, and get active! Through guided play, children learn to respect themselves and others, work out their differences, and discover the value of friendship. Homework help, arts and crafts, games, and outdoor activities--all under the guidance of caring employees--are available in the Y's program, open to children in grades Kindergarten through 8th grade. After School Care will start on August 2nd this year. The program will take place at the Athens-McMinn Family YMCA (temporary location beginning October 28, 2024: Westside Elementary School at 700 Westside St. in Athens TN). We will be offering after school care pick up at the following locations:
- Athens City Middle School
- Athens City Intermediate School
- Athens City Primary School
- Riceville Elementary School
We will also provide After School programming for any family who is able to pick their child up and transport them to the YMCA for programming, also known as parent drop off.
