Want family fun? Done. Just head to the Wildlight YMCA.

The kids are out of school — and full of energy. Good thing we know where they can get some of it out of their systems. The YMCA at Wildlight (opens in new tab) has programs and services for everyone to participate in.

Summer Camps
One of the most popular is the camps (opens in new tab) for kids ages 5–12. The YMCA has a wide range, including half-day specialty camps (opens in new tab) and full-day options — all offering the opportunity to learn new skills, find new hobbies and make new friends. The Y also offers swim lessons and swim tests (opens in new tab) for kids and adults alike. Active duty military? The Wildlight Y has a camp for kids of active-duty members through their Operation Hero (opens in new tab) program.

Sports Programs
The YMCA fun goes beyond camps. The Y has youth sports (opens in new tab) programs to get the kids moving, with youth basketball at the McArthur Family YMCA (opens in new tab), and flag football and soccer at the YMCA at Wildlight. These leagues are another great way for kids to build camaraderie with their peers and develop friendships that will last beyond even the summer. (And the games are fun to watch, too!) And teens don’t need to feel left out of the fun. There are awesome opportunities to be camp counselors. (Just ask Autumn Franks (opens in new tab).)

Fun for All Ages
The YMCA at Wildlight also has opportunities for the entire family to get out of the house, like the Families Unplugged (opens in new tab) series. It’s a chance to unplug and connect outside the house, without technology. (Kids not on phones … remember what that’s like?) And if you want to have a date night, Parent’s Night Out (opens in new tab) lets you go out together, and know that the kids are safe and staying occupied, having fun with games and arts & crafts.

It’s going to be a busy summer, and thanks to the Y, boredom won’t be a thing. Interested in becoming a member or learning more about the programs and services they offer? Stop by the Wildlight Y in person (it’s right in the community!), or visit online at fcymca.org (opens in new tab).
