We’re excited to start our 77th year of The Minerva Youth Program Summer of 2026.
July 8th – August 14th
10am – 3pm
Full time residents of Minerva can enroll in the Minerva Youth Program for free. Non-Residents must pay a small registration fee to register, much less than what daycare would cost and in return your child/ren will build long lasting friendships and memories of their time spent at Minerva beach.
All registered participants must register for the full program and it is mandatory to attend the first week of the program, July 8th – July 10th.
MYP Registration Form
Registration forms can be mailed to:

The Town of Minerva will also offer free lunches to all children ages 18 and under this summer.
The program will run from July 8 through August 14, 2026.
Lunches will be available Monday through Friday and must be eaten on site at Pavilion #2 on Beach Road between 11:30 a.m. and 12:15 p.m.. Lunch pickup is not permitted under program guidelines.
Children attending the Minerva Youth Program will receive lunches through the program. If a child is not attending the Minerva Youth Program, lunches must be ordered by calling 518-251-2510 no later than 9:00 a.m. each day.
Program administration is managed through the Essex County Youth Bureau and funded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).
