Children's Skill-Based Programs
Ages 6 – 12
Looking for a fun way to stay active and learn new skills? Skill-based programs allow children to build on their learning each week to feel a sense of accomplishment as they grow and develop.
Skill-based programs are included in a Youth YMCA membership and require registration.
Participants only need to register once and will attend at the same day and time each week. Each child can register for one skill-based program at a time.
