Family Programs

Families come in all sizes and shapes and so do YMCA Family Programs. Our programs strengthen family ties by offering a safe, welcoming environment for kids and parents to communicate, cooperate, and have fun. Family programs include health and fitness activities, pool and gym activities, family nights, camping, and other events. Join the Central YMCA as a family—you'll be glad you did!

->Art & Humanities

Arts and Humanities is a program designed to provide a fun, safe and supportive environment where children (and family members*) have the materials and space needed to work on projects. In this program, we will explore new ideas and techniques. We will use recycled items and materials whenever possible. Some projects may take a few sessions to complete if there is a process involved to reach the finished piece. We appreciate new ideas and want to encourage our artists self-expression. We will be displaying our work for a week or two before children take it home. Community service projects will be given to those people in our community who will benefit from a bit of cheer.
