Youth Development/Family Services - The YMCA's Youth/Family services include preschool, before/after school, day camping, and teen programs. The YMCA's Kid's Korner is the leading provider of before and after school childcare in Middletown with licensed sites in all of Middletown's public elementary schools. The YMCA also operates sites in Cromwell, Portland and East Haddam. Open door assistance is available to families earning under $70,000 annually. State of Connecticut Care4Kids, private donations, United Way, and grants from the State Department of Education, and the Middletown Youth Service Department further expand service to low income families. During the summer months, families have a choice between YMCA Camp Ingersoll held on YMCA property in Portland, or the Summer Enrichment Program based in our facilities in Middletown. Both of these programs are state licensed day camps and provide sliding scale assistance to low income families. Camp Ingersoll provided over 1412 children with a traditional day camp experience that included swimming, boating, environmental education, art, ropes, archery and more. Camp Ingersoll also offers specialty camps in sports, adventure, science, the arts and leadership development. The My Time scholarship program provides scholarships to children with an immediate family member who had cancer. Preschool childcare is provided year round in our state licensed and NAEYC accredited Ingersoll Childcare Center.
