The Ellensburg Youth Center will be open for an After School program Monday through Friday, from 12:30 pm to 6:00 pm. Youth in 3rd to 8th grade will receive homework help and also participate in fun filled arts and crafts activities, STEM activities, active games and more!

All youth are required to be registered prior to attending the Youth Center. This registration is different from youth registration from previous school years. Youth arriving without registration will not be allowed in the building.

Summer Day Camps will be held Monday through Thursday afternoons, with activities from 1:00 pm to 5:30 pm! Check-in is from 12:30 pm to 1:00 pm ONLY; youth arriving after check-in may not be admitted. There are no "re-entry" privileges; youth exiting the program for the day will not be readmitted.

Registration is required for each week of camp, with space EXTREMELY limited.
