Greetings from the Y! We'd just like to let you know about a few of our upcoming events!

HELP THE JOPLIN FAMILY Y

 

The Joplin Family Y has partnered with United Way and the Red Cross to provide free childcare to all families that were victims of the tornado. There are more than 3,000 children that need care in Joplin. The Y needs more funding to be able to take care of these children and families in need. Please help by making a donation at the front desk.

Please help support the community of Joplin in their time of need.

Your summer adventure starts at Camp Wakonda.  We offer week-long overnight camp experiences for grades 2nd -9th

They will build new friendships with both cabin mates and counselors. Camp Wakonda allows campers to experience God and the Y mission in a pristine outdoor environment where they feel close to God's perfect creation.

 

They'll have a great time playing games, climbing on the tower, swimming in the pool, and just being kids. They will be challenged to think of how to become people of character and of course they will have tons of fun!
