The Cary Family YMCA is pleased to offer after school care at Adams Elementary. From start to finish, our afternoons at Adams will be packed with team building and character development! The YMCA provides a safe, educational, fun environment for your children.

Our 2011 format is based on the YMCA’s core values and mission of building a healthy spirit, mind and body. Our activities are guided by the core values of caring, respect, responsibility, honesty and faith. We feel these are tools children need to build a future with strong kids, strong families and strong communities. Children have fun and learn with counselors who enjoy being around children.

At Adams After School your child will participate in:

Assemblies: Children are given the opportunity to unwind after school with skits, cheers, camper recognition, huddle challenges and the thought of the day.

Devotions: Children discuss positive choices and behavior and work together to understand the concepts of respect, responsibility, caring, honesty and faith in God.

Incentives: Character chairs are a part of the camper incentive program at Adams AFS. Character chairs are used as a tool to help teach the children character traits. We have five chairs that represent our character traits:
Blue: Honesty
Green: Responsibility
Yellow: Respect
Red: Caring
Purple: Faith in God
Character chairs are a way to recognize individuals in the program. A character chair is given to a child who has led his/her huddle by example by demonstrating the character traits. Honored students are given an opportunity to sign the character chair character during Friday assemblies and enjoy a trip to the prize box.

Character Bands: Each day campers have an opportunity to earn character bands. Awarded by the counselors, character bands are given in recognition of superior demonstration of the character traits. Earn enough character bands and you may redeem them for a prize or a chance to "pie a counselor".

At the time of registration, a new copy of your child's immunization record must be provided. Registrations will not be processed or accepted without immunization record.
Participants will also need to provide new bank account information (voided check & bank draft authorization) when registering.
