Our Commitment and Mission
The mission of the YMCA is to put Christian
principles into practice through programs that build
healthy spirit, mind, and body for all. The YMCA’s
commitment to building strong kids and strong
families is carried out at the School Age Center.
Program activities emphasize the values that kids
need to grow into healthy, happy, productive adults.
School Age Center
Child Care
with a Purpose (elementary schools)
The YMCA Community Outreach Branch and various area school
districts have teamed up in offering the School Age Center
Child Care Program. This high-quality child care program is
affordable and conveniently located right at your child's school.
In addition to providing child care in a safe, nurturing environment,
parents trust in knowing that all activities at the YMCA School
Age Center promote character development through caring, respect,
honesty and responsibility. This successful program has positively
influenced the lives of thousands of families.
By having a School Age Center at your child's school, the
YMCA endeavors to help you raise healthy children and make
your family even stronger. We look forward to serving you during
the school year.

Adventure Club & Camp Iddy Biddy
Give your child a summer of fun and excitement at Adventure Club.
We are very excited to provide a program that offers activities for youth 3-13 years of age. Camp Iddy Biddy, located at the Northeast Branch, is for those youth ages 3-5; and Adventure Club, located at both the IDP and Northeast Branches, is for youth ages 6-13. This year we are adding something new to our Adventure Club options at the IDP Branch. During the weeks of summer school, we will be offering a half-day option starting at noon. This option will be available on days that summer school is in session.
As always, staff will continue to provide the assets necessary for children to grow into productive adults. While focusing on our core values of caring, honesty, responsibility and respect we will provide a safe, fun-filled atmosphere for your child to spend their summer days. Our staff are committed to developing the positive self-esteem of each participant.
We look forward to serving you and your child this summer as we continue to build strong kids, strong families and a strong community.
