The Community YMCA offers great programs and special events for the whole family to enjoy. Bring the family out to enjoy Healthy Kids Day, National Family Week, family nights, splash parties, bingo nights, or arts and dance programs! These events give families a chance to spend valuable time together while having lots of fun!

Children need a good foundation in music, drama, art, or other creative activities. By developing the creative side of children they become well rounded and appreciate the diversity in their community. The Community YMCA offers these types of program for children each session. We are sure that you will find a program that will enrich your child and help them appreciate the arts!
