Delaware Youth Center
Summer Program
Our annual summer program runs Monday - Friday from 9am to noon. It is not a traditional drop off program, but instead encourages group participation. You can attend every day or just the days that suit your schedule.
Our Summer Program has activities for children of all ages. They can participate in Arts & Crafts, Environmental Education programs, Sports, Live Animal Classes, Dance Classes, Music Shows, and so much more! Registration required for some events. Come enjoy the fun!
For 2026, the program begins June 29th and will run for 7 weeks. The cost of the program is included in your annual membership fee.
Participation ages range between toddlers to teens but children under 13 must be accompanied by an adult/caregiver who is required to be on site at all times.
Swim Lessons
The pool is set to open June 29th and close September 4th.
The pool will be open daily (weather dependent). Exact hours will be posted once all lesson and special events schedules are completed.
Certified Instructors and lifeguards are on hand to provide your child with a fun and safe learning environment. We offer group lessons based on skill level (not age) Due to the depth of our pool, there is a height requirement of 44". Our instructors will determine the level your swimmer should be in through a series of questions asked during the in-person registration times.
Lessons are held for two weeks at a time, Monday through Friday for half an hour a day. A parent or caregiver is required to be on site during the lesson. The class time will be between 8 AM and noon. The sessions for this year are:
July 6 to July 17
July 20 to July 31
August 3 to August 14
The exact time of the class will be determined once registrations are complete. We do have participation limits and sign ups will close once the lessons are full. Spots are secured on a first-come, first-serve basis on Sign-up Day and a 50% deposit is required. The 2026 cost is $100 per child per session for members or $120 per child per session for non-members.
Swim Lessons are offered in 2 week sessions for beginners to seasoned swimmers. Our certified instructors will place you in the proper level based on question asked during the in-person registration. Space is limited. Spots are secured on a first-come, first-serve basis on Sign-up Day and a 50% deposit is required.
