Organizations Filed Purposes: The Boothbay Region YMCA's programs are designed to strengthen individuals, families and the community. People of all ages, abilities, faiths, ethnic groups, and incomes connect through programs that build a healthy spirit, mind, and body with the goals of nurturing the potential of youth, promoting heathy living for all, and fostering social responsibility. Services are offered at affordable fees for the community at-large, with financial assistance available for those who cannot afford the full fee.

The Y supports people of all ages with programs that build character, promote social responsibility and healthy living on a lifelong basis. The YMCA is a collaborative community leader that encourages personal learning and shared responsibility to strengthen our community.

AQUATICS - Our aquatics programs play a significant role in this coastal community. The Y provides free swim lessons to every 2nd grader in the community. The Y's Child Enrichment program has weekly swim lessons built into its curriculum. Our Dolphin Swim Team provides more than 35 swimmers a chance to promote teamwork, interaction and development of social and physical skills. Over $7,500 in program scholarships and free swim programs were provided to our swimmers. We offer a full range of aquatic therapy and rehabilitation programming for the many seniors that have retired to the area.

OTHER YOUTH PROGRAMS - the YMCA offers a full range of youth sports programming, arts and humanities along with a teen/youth center. These programs help develop self-esteem and core values. The youth/teen center is open to all middle and high school students regardless of a YMCA membership. Through a donor supported high school initiative the Y is proud to now be able to ensure that all high school students receive a free Y membership and have access to the programs and services that the Y offers. Our YARTS programs provide a safe and supportive environment for youth and adults to explore their creative side through the performing arts. The YARTS For All programming includes our special needs friends.

WELLNESS - Our wellness department provides a full range of programs to our over 4,200 members of all ages. The YMCA's Diabetes Prevention Program helps adults at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes reduce their risk by taking necessary steps to improve their health and well-being. LIVESTRONG at the YMCA is an evidence-based program that helps adult cancer survivors reclaim their health and well-being following a cancer diagnosis. This 12 week program is provided free to our community. The YMCA has focused on childhood obesity by providing a Fit Kidz program to teach fun exercise and healthy snack options. We also have a full range of programs from Aero Dancing and Zumba to more challenging classes like Total Body Challenge, TRX and Cardio Tennis. Active older adults are provided with many classes such as managing concerns about falling, cooking classes and various field trips. Most of our wellness classes are offered free to members.
