Our kids are spending countless hours in front of screens and are lacking much-needed physical activity and social engagement. As spring approaches, parents are seeking opportunities to get kids active and outdoors in a healthy and safe environment.
Find fun and safety at the Y
The Y opens access to opportunities, relationships, and resources for kids to be who they are and become who they want to be. Register your child for a five-week session to engage their body and mind. Your child will be surrounded by caring adults and other kids in a values-based environment at the Y. Health and safety procedures are rigorous, including face coverings worn at all times for children ages five and older. Give your children the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive at the Y. Preview classes at ymcapkc.org/youth on March 29 and register April 5-8.

Youth programs without any additional cost include swim lessons, dance, visual arts, recreational gymnastics, performing arts, toddler gym, PE, and outdoor environmental education.
