In celebration of the kick-off to summer, The Gateway Family YMCA is sharing a list of five activities for families to encourage their kids to try. The goal is to have them try something new by promoting a variety of opportunities to get involved in active play – hopefully, this will inspire a lifetime love of physical and mental activity. Share these activities with your children and inspire them to “find their fun” by discovering an activity that they love.
Find Your Swimming Skills with Y Swim Lessons
Each year The Gateway Family YMCA teaches over 1,000 children to swim. This helps them find their confidence, teaches a lifelong skill, and introduces them to safety around water. Swimming lessons and Safety Around Water programs are available for parent/child, preschool, youth, teen, and adult. Taught by certified swimming instructors in a small-group setting, the YMCA focuses on a skill-based curriculum with a basis of safety skills training. Private lessons are also available to meet the needs of individuals or families.
Find Your Adventure with Y Summer Camp
Summer is a time for kids to explore new things and expand the limits of their imagination. At The Gateway Family YMCA, every day is a new adventure! Whether experiencing the wonder of new activities or having a blast with new friends at summer day camp, many children and teens find their adventure with the Y. Summer camp is available for preschool and youth, with specialty opportunities like a fun sports camp.
