Program Details

At Marin YMCA’s afterschool programs, we are excited to partner with you and your student during the out-of-school time. Our goals for students are to provide a safe environment where youth can learn new skills, explore new experiences, and feel a sense of belonging. Under the guidance and supervision of YMCA youth development-trained staff, students will feel encouraged and empowered to be their authentic selves, belong to a supportive and inclusive community, and become the best version of themselves.

Our programs operate Monday through Friday during the school year and are closed on major holidays. During the school-year holidays, we offer school-year/one-day camps as well as summer camps. Please click below to learn more about our camp offerings.

Afternoon Pick-Up

YMCA staff will release children only to an approved parent or guardian who arrives for pickup. Any other individual picking up your child must appear on your authorized pick-up list.

You and any additional authorized adult picking up your student must present a photo ID. Parents/Guardians must sign their child out daily. Staff will not release any child into the custody of an individual not approved by the registering parent or guardian.

We take your child(ren)’s safety very seriously and want to provide a safe environment for all. Please be sure to list everyone authorized to pick up your child(ren) on the release form during your registration process, including yourself.

In the event that authorized individuals cannot pick up the child, the parent must call the Site Coordinator to advise the site of who will pick up the child(ren).

Late Pick-Up Policy

The YMCA charges a $5 late fee per minute if you do not pick up your student by closing time. Financial assistance and third-party agencies do not cover this fee. After 30 minutes, we will contact the individuals on your emergency contact list. If we cannot reach anyone, we must notify the local police and CPS. Furthermore, the YMCA reserves the right to terminate care if you pick up your child late more than five times.

Parent/Guardian Handbook

Your program site coordinator will provide a detailed Welcome Packet.
