The YMCA is a place to bring children being homeschooled for activities like Arts, Nature Science, Gymnastics, Spanish and Swimming. It is designed for boys and girls, ages 3 and up.

Convenient for families to be able to come to the YMCA and have all activities for the children at the same time. Great opportunity for parents to network and socialize with others.

Gymnastics
Children work on flexibility, strength, floor exercise, balance beam, bars and vault. We teach them how to perform gymnastics skills along with character development (caring, honesty, respect, responsibility), self control and discipline. Things that will help them for a life time. All this through a "FUN" thing called "GYMNASTICS"!
