BE COOL AFTERSCHOOL
As summer is winding down, let’s not forget about what is happening in the YMCA. We look forward to accommodating gym schedules this fall with basketball practices, floor hockey, and open gym. Children ages 6 and above are welcome to use the YMCA during scheduled "youth hours" without an adult YMCA gyms are available between the hours of 4:00-9:00pm. The pool will be available Monday-Wednesday-Friday between the hours of 4:00-7:00pm. The Activity Center will be available between the hours of 4:00-6:00pm. Don’t forget to help inspire your children to get active with the availability of our Specialty Center between the hours of 4:00-6:00pm provided they are 9 years old and have completed an orientation. Please remember that these are not structured programs for children.
Interested in structured afterschool programming for your children? The Youth Development Center (YDC) now has openings and will transport your child from school to the YDC. After arriving at the YDC your children will be provided with a healthy snack and split into structured programming activities until 5:00pm where they then return to the building for pick up between 5:00-6:00pm. Whether they are into sports, music, dancing, cooking, science, ect. We have it all to fit their needs. Nowhere for your children to go on “No-School Days?” We accommodate and provided all day structured programming most days.
Help make after school hours for your children an experience to remember whether it is during our “Youth Hours” at the YMCA or our structured afterschool program at the YDC.
