Summer at the Y

YMCA Dublin Youth Spaces consists of a variety of services; YouthWork, PlusOne Mentoring, Alternative Suspension Service, Réidh and OutReach. A big focus this year for Summer is to continue our collaborative work by providing a combined Summer Project. This means that any young person who has availed of any of our services during the year can sign up to come along.

Summer at the Y!
Our Summer timetable will run from the 3rd of July to the 3rd of August. Places are limited and young people that have engaged in the service throughout the year will be given priority. Look below at Primary, Secondary and Community Events, fill in a consent form and sign up! We look forward to seeing you this Summer!

For further information on our Summer services please contact a member of the Youth Spaces team on 01-4782607 or email youth.work@ymca-ireland.net

Summer at the Y for Primary school young people is open to new, previous and current service users who are Primary school aged (over 10 years old).
We have a range of activities and trips planned for five weeks ranging from Alpaca trekking, Aquazone, Causey farm and even Baysports! Each Friday we will have a Mystery Activity Day for our Primary group… There’s something for everyone!

*Some of our activities have a small fee. Young people are asked to pay on the day of the trip by cash. We will be providing sandwiches for each trip; however, young people are welcome to bring their own.

Our Secondary activities during Summer at the Y are open to new, previous and current service users in Secondary school.

This summer, every Wednesday will be our Community Day! Almost all activities will be open for everyone. We’re linking with Dublin City Council (DCC) for their sports series, as well as hosting events around town and in our Community Hub. There’s something for everyone with singing, painting, clay making, picnics, scavenger hunts, fitness classes, and quizzes on the cards!

All activities are free with materials provided, but some sessions have a capacity limit and will work on a sign-up basis. Looking forward to seeing you there!
