Our Youth Development Impact

HELPING CHILDREN DEVELOP SELF-CONFIDENCE, CHARACTER VALUES, RELATIONSHIP-BUILDING AND LEADERSHIP SKILLS BY PROVIDING INNOVATIVE AND NURTURING YOUTH PROGRAMS.

CHILD CARE Parents can work and children can thrive because they can utilize our preschool and school-age child care programs.
DAY CAMP Summer Day Camp provides an extended all-day program for youth during the summer, that supports working families; instilling healthy habits and reducing summer learning loss at the same time.
YOUTH SPORTS Seasonal youth sports provides an introduction and positive experience tying fitness, sports skills, teamwork, and values education into the program's foundation. Our role is to provide an experience where kids feel that sports are fun and want to continue in lifetime activities.

We seek to expand successful programs to reach more people who need them, with a focus on the most vulnerable.

Our Healthy Living Impact

WE CREATE COMMUNITIES THAT SUPPORT HEALTHY LIVING BY ADDRESSING CHILDHOOD OBESITY AND CHRONIC DISEASE AMONG CHILDREN AND ADULTS AND ARE FOUNDATIONAL TO THEIR PHYSICAL, INTELLECTUAL, AND SPIRITUAL STRENGTH.

On any given day, families from a regional area visit the All-Access Playground. Thousands of families visit this playground on the grounds of the Campus Family YMCA.
Group Exercise has been a signature community building effort at the Campus Family Y, through the work of mission-driven instructors and innovative efforts.
Whether it's in a youth development program, in a group exercise class, a community-driven effort or in our wellness center, the YMCA helps facilitate the health efforts of the community.

We help people and families build and maintain healthy habits for spirit, mind, and body in their everyday lives.

WE STRIVE TO INSTILL AN ETHIC OF VOLUNTEERISM BY PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR COMMUNITY TO GIVE BACK AND SERVE.

THE SPIRIT OF VOLUNTEERISM We instill an ethic of volunteerism by providing opportunities to give back and serve their community.
