YMCA Child Watch and Preschool The YMCA offers a quality childcare program to our members. We believe play is an essential part of a happy life and a powerful tool in a child's healthy development. Our directed play program integrates a variety of themes involving movement, crafts, games, and storytelling. The staff is trained and prepared to guide the children in activities where social skills are developed to help them learn how the world works. Our Play and Learn Child Watch, included in membership, had 10,777 child visits in 2020. We believe the early years of a child's life are of critical importance in his or her development. In our preschool programs, we strive to encourage healthy growth in spirit, mind, and body, through positive character development and movement based activities within a safe and nurturing environment. We encourage whole child development, which includes the support and resources of and for parents, teachers, family, and the community. In 2020, 677 children were enrolled in our Preschool and Holiday Break Day Programs.

YMCA Camping YMCA Day Camps help campers develop self-confidence, self-respect, socialization, and a healthy lifestyle while participating in fun, active games that challenge the spirit, mind, and body. Financial assistance is available for those who cannot afford the customary fees. We encourage the participation of all individuals and will make accommodations for those campers with special needs. In 2020, the YMCA had 1,101 registrations in our day camp programs.

YMCA Group Exercise Our YMCA Group Exercise instructors provide state-of-the-art exercise instruction that significantly contributes to each member's health and wellness goals. Our purpose is to develop and conduct fun, energetic, and highly motivational classes for all fitness and skill levels. These classes include aquatics, land and body/mind.

There is something for everyone here at the Y. Exercise is important in comprehensive healthcare management for an individual with arthritis and related diseases. The Arthritis Aquatics Basic Program provides range of motion exercises for each major body part. Exercises improve flexibility, strength, coordination, balance, joint nutrition, and performance of daily activities. The Basic classes are all included in membership. The Arthritis Aquatics Plus Program expands the Arthritis Aquatics Program to include exercises and activities designed to promote functional endurance as well as musculoskeletal flexibility and strength. This class is included with a YMCA membership. The Deep Water Arthritis Aquatics class provides the same exercise program in a deep water setting.
