GREAT PROGRAMS FOR TEENS AT THE YMCA
Teen Activities and More
Teenagers, regardless of background, face choices that can positively or negatively influence their lives. The Y helps teens and their families to reach new heights and is committed to programs that offer character development, citizenship, leadership and service.
Teen Camps
Through different weekly themes, teens are inspired and empowered as they experience traditional camp as they swim, work in teams, play fun games and make new friends.
Teens will also have the opportunity to learn and grow by participating in:
- Listening to professional speakers
- Participating in educational components such as robotics and arts
- Planning and volunteering with various service projects
Our goal is for teens to learn to work together, learn new skills, gain better decision making and conflict resolution skills, while discovering something new about themselves.
For teens ages 12 -15.
