Our Commitment to Inclusion
The MetroWest YMCA is an organization that seeks to make our programs and services accessible to all, including those children who may need some accommodations and an extra level of support to be successful. When we know in advance about any challenges a child may have or any accommodations they may need, we are better able to make a plan for that child and improve their chances of success in our programs. Therefore, we strongly encourage families to be transparent about their child’s needs or challenges. While we do our best to support all children, the MetroWest YMCA is not a therapeutic or special needs organization and will not be able to provide the level of intervention and support that these specialized programs can offer.
Our Commitment to Food Access
The MetroWest YMCA provides free meals to campers in the Framingham-based camps: Camp Clearbrook, Ninja Sports Camp, Camp OCP, and the Stepping Stones Camp. Lunch may be purchased at the Hopkinton Summer Camps and the Y STEAM Camp in Natick for a weekly cost of $30. If you are concerned about how your financial situation may impact your children at camp, please contact your camp registrar to have a confidential conversation regarding financial assistance for meals.
Camp for All
Our Camp for All campaign ensures that every child can make new friends, learn and play, and have new experiences that are only possible through camp. Thanks to the generosity of our community, one in eight campers is able to attend camp. Join us today so every kid can find their joy and their Y!
Our Y Assist program is funded through generous donations to our Annual Campaign.
