Grants

• There are very limited funds available for summer grants. The best option is to begin by exploring any other source of support that might be available to you.
• If you are currently on a Child Care Circuit voucher or receiving any services or childcare support from any other agency, it is a good idea to ask that agency about available summer funds.
• If you live in Newburyport, call Community Service 978-465-7562 for an application.
• If Community Service approves the grant, bring the approved grant and your completed intake packet to the YWCA.  At that point, we will process your child’s intake registration.
• If you are not a Newburyport resident, you can complete a YWCA grant application and return it to the YWCA with a copy of your pay stub or 1040. 

Ages

• Entering 1st grade through entering 4th grade

Registration

• Registration for each week closes the Wednesday before the start of that week.

• Days will include outdoor fun, sports, art, science, gardening, special guests and general good old fashioned summer fun!  Our plan is to walk down to the YWCA to swim.

Lunch and Snacks

• Please send a healthy lunch and two healthy snacks (We would love to see fresh fruit, veggie sticks, juice, sandwiches, meat roll-ups, cheese, salads, yogurt, bagels, granola bars, crackers, etc.....)  We will not have a refrigerator so please put an ice pack in with anything perishable. 
• DO NOT SEND – candy, soda or any glass containers.  We will have water available.
