Summer may be coming to a close, but that doesn't mean the fun has to stop! In our Afterschool Programs, our goals are simple: Provide a safe, inclusive space in which all kids feel welcome and like they belong here. Keep learning fun! Our games, activities, and daily routines are all designed to support the school day in the most fun way possible. To instill the YMCA core values of Caring, Honesty, Respect & Responsibility in all that we do. As parents, you've entrusted the Y with your most precious thing. We don't take that lightly. We are grateful that you have partnered with the Y and we are looking forward to getting to your child and you over the course of the school year! Buckle up, it's going to be a fun ride! - YMCA of Northern Utah
