YMCA Children and Youth are welcome to drop in to a variety of fun activities. All YMCA programs focus on developing children in spirit, mind and body; focus on participation and most of all having fun.

We also offer supplementary programs to further develop and enrich the lives of all young people. These courses are offered by session and registration is required.

Preschoolers may be accompanied by a non-member adult in our drop-in programs. YMCA Youth ages 5-12 are welcome to drop-in but remember families, please make sure your child is safely under the guidance of a YMCA leader before you leave.
