The YMCA is a place for all children and teens to grow and learn. It’s where people of all ages connect with friends to pursue better, healthier lives. Programs focus on developing youth potential, promoting a healthy lifestyle and delivering meaningful positive changes to the neighborhood and community. The YMCA offers summer camps for youth ages 5 to 17 that address concerns about learning, loss, and the state of mental well-being. Staff receive additional training to care for the mental well-being of youth, in addition to the traditional gap structure that fosters new friendships and nurtures a sense of belonging.
