Program Highlight
Wii Wednesday
We Get Involved & Interact (Wii). Each Wednesday, members participate in a different activity to get them more involved in Club, the YMCA, and our community. Activities include: swimming at the YMCA, picking up litter around campus, and participating in the Boys & Girls Club Team Building Challenge. Not only does this program get members more involved, it also teaches them to work together to create relationships and better the environment.
