Elementary School Programs 2026

For elementary school students, CYC offers a 6-week, full-day summer program from June 8 to July 21.* Our program is led by caring staff who know our families and support each child’s growth year after year. Youth are guided by trusted mentors who prioritize social-emotional development and leadership, paired with consistent relationships that provide families stability and give each child room to grow.

The program includes weekly field trip excursions and engaging, hands-on, age- and developmentally appropriate curriculum activities that integrate literacy, math, STEAM, and recreation, ensuring students are supported academically, socially, and emotionally.
