DEDICATED TO BUILDING HAPPIER, HEALTHIER KIDS.Summer is a great time to enroll your child in a summer program at the Y. Research has shown that many kids gain weight faster during the summer months than during the school year and that summer learning loss—a challenge for all children—is more pronounced. At the YMCA we develop programs designed to keep kids active, engaged academically and having a lot of fun while doing so!

Enroll your child today.
