Y Kids are Club Kids


Clubs will engage students and encourage them to explore their talents, interests, and abilities in a safe and supportive environment.
Clubs offer the chance for kids to develop new hobbies and help in the activity planning process.

Youth experience curriculum through a variety of content areas, hands-on activities, clubs, service learning projects, and enrichment centers. YMCA curriculum is flexible and fun and children are included in the planning process. Students engage in hands-on activities that develop critical-thinking skills, problem solving, working within a team and more. In addition, the program especially allows children the opportunity to learn through enrichment programs that develop knowledge and application of STEAM; Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math.

Swim Programs

75% of the world is water. Children are 100% curious. Let’s keep them safe.

Teaching youth how to be safe around water is not a luxury; it is a necessity. The YMCA introduced group swim lessons more than 100 years ago, and each year, the YMCA teaches more than a million children invaluable water safety and swimming skills. Lessons are not just for kids—the Y teaches people of all ages how to swim.
