Child care. Safe, high quality and affordable programs provide services that allow parents to attend school or work to support their families. Fully licensed infant, toddler, pre-school and pre-kinder programs offer values-based educational opportunities for youngsters from ages six weeks to five years. Children served through our jewett child development center receive early learning instruction that prepares them for kindergarten success. The ymca also runs child care programs during extended school holidays, providing a safe learning and recreational environment for children with working parents. Partner with youth campaign funds do help support our child care programs. Our jewett endowment also supports the operation of the jewett center.

Camp dudley is a ymca resident camp located on 13 acres of forest land that surrounds clear lake near white pass. Camp dudleys six week summer resident camp provides recreation, environmental education and training in ymca core values to about 400 kids ages 8-15. Young adults, age 18 and older, enjoy employment as counselors. Spring break camp and leadership camp also provide personal growth opportunities for area youngsters. Many of the young people who attend camp dudley, do so as a result of donated funds to our partner with youth campaign and other fundraising efforts. Camp dudley is open year round for rental as a retreat center.
