A YMCA release said summer offerings include the AS1 Basketball Clinic, Youth Strength & Conditioning, Junior Pickleball League, swim lessons, Family Play Gym, Zumba in the Park, and so much more for all stages and ages of life.

The YMCA is also expanding youth leadership and workforce development opportunities through Babysitting and Child Care Training, and Lifeguard Certification courses, helping teens build valuable lifesaving, leadership, and job skills.

The YMCA Youth Space for Y members ages 8-18 provides another safe and welcoming place for youth to gather, connect, and stay engaged at the Y.

The release said the YMCA continues its commitment to water safety by distributing free youth life jackets while supplies last and restocking life jacket stations at local reservoirs throughout the summer.

In addition to specialty programs, the YMCA offers more than 20 group fitness classes each week and a variety of membership options for youth, individuals, and families.

Financial assistance options are available for memberships, as well as scholarships for youth programs.
