Make more of your child’s out-of-school time!

The Y Explorers program focuses on academic support, physical activity, learning, social growth, and healthier habits. Kids will experience a safe and uplifting environment while learning skills, developing interests, and making new friends! Parents will get peace of mind knowing that while they workout, their child is participating in a program led by our certified Y team and enjoy the convenience of their activities being located within the YMCA.
