SUMMER PROGRAMS

swimmers

 

Summer is right around the corner and the Y offers many programs for children of all ages-whether you are looking for your child to learn how to swim or explore an archeological dig!

 

Swim lessons start the week of June 20 and run through the middle of August. Lessons are taught in two week sessions, four days a week. YMCA Swim Lessons not only help participants learn to be safe around the water that surrounds our beautiful county, it instills a sense of pride and confidence in accomplishing goals.  In addition to providing a lifelong skill, swim lessons also enable participants to stay active, setting healthy habits that can last a lifetime.

 

Outdoor Adventure Camps introduce kids to a variety of exciting and challenging activities.  And, Camp S.A.F.E. provides sports activities each morning and field trips in the afternoon.

 

Classes fill up quick so be sure to stop by today and reserve your spot!
