Summer Programs and Events at BCYF

Boston Centers for Youth & Families offers many summer classes and programs for youth. These aren’t only a lot of fun — they also keep children active over the summer months so they are prepared for the return to school in the fall. Our 2026 Summer Guide is available now. Please note that programming may change and we will update the guide here.

Find a place to cool off

The BCYF Mirabella and Clougherty are our outdoor pools. They operate from late June to Labor Day weekend. BCYF Mirabella is closed due to the construction of a new North End community center. Several indoor pools are open year-round. Swim sessions open for registration 24 hours in advance.
