The YMCA of Greater Houston, in a collaborative effort with Harris County Precinct 4 Commissioner Lesley Briones, is excited to announce expanded access to their popular YMCA Discovery Summer Day Camps. From June 3 to July 26, qualifying families can receive free childcare at the Weekley Community Center in Cypress, thanks to generous scholarships funded by Commissioner Briones. Valued at $200 per week, these scholarships offer children a safe, enriching, and fun-filled summer camp experience surrounded by positive role models.
