At the YMCA ...
We don't just watch your children play. We actively engage them in fun programs, physical recreation and activities that emphasize character development and Christian values. We build relationships with them and encourage them to build relationships with each other.
We provide a safe atmosphere for children to develop physically, mentally, socially, and spiritually. We celebrate the initiative, energy and creativity of children. They learn to be honest, to be responsible, to respect each other and to care for on another. They learn important life skills and good sportsmanship. They develop self-confidence. They form lasting friendships.
Our programs are led by a responsible and energetic staff of adults, college and high school students under the direction of full time YMCA professionals. Staff are fully trained with an emphasis on being exemplary role models at all times. Our programs are effective because of the quality of our staff. YMCA staff and programs exemplify our mission: Helping all people reach their God given potential in spirit, mind and body.

Children deserve more than just babysitting from their after school program, they deserve excitement and adventure while building a healthy spirit, mind and body. That is exactly what the YMCA provides. The new Totally Fit Kids After School Program allows children to spend their afternoons in a safe environment. Children have fun in guided recreation, develop lasting friendships, and develop age-appropriate skills. The program focuses on the fitness of each child in spirit, mind and body.
