Summer is coming to the Y...

The Y looks a little different in the summer - more kiddos in the building having fun with Summer Day Camp; more families coming in for family swim times; more young adults and high schoolers coming in to shoot hoops during the day. We hope you enjoy the slightly different atmosphere that summertime brings and remember to check our schedules for any changes and open gym times!
