We understand the conflicts working families face, so we are here to provide programs to ensure your child has a safe space to hang out. Our After School Program, Thanksgiving Camp, Christmas Camp, Spring Break Camp, and Summer Day Camp all ensure that your child never has to be home alone. While being cared for by qualified staff, your child will develop confidence, character, and other important traits that set the stage for future success in school and later in life.
AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM
When your child spends time in the Y After School Program, they are not returning to an empty house unsupervised. They are continuing their development in a safe and fun environment. Children enrolled will receive help with homework, participate in activities, and receive an afternoon snack.
This program operates at select schools directly after a normal full day of public school from 2:45 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.
THANKSGIVING BREAK CAMP
Kids will find this a safe place to hang out with their friends and interact in many different activities with Y staff, trainers, and instructors.
The program is unavailable in 2024.
WINTER BREAK CAMP
Operating out of the Joplin Family Y, we offer a fun, safe, and educational place for your child to spend Winter Break! While in our program, your child will build social skills and participate in health and fitness activities, cultural presentations, swimming, arts and crafts, and other fun-filled activities.
Breakfast, lunch, & snacks provided.

We offer safe spaces for school children ages 5-12 where they can spend quality time with friends and instructors.
