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

Please note: These classes are designed for, but not limited to home school children. All students are welcome.

Convenient for families to be ab le 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.

Southwest Ohio Home School Band
10 to 18 years old
Three levels of home school band are offered. Children will be placed depending on their experience. For more information call the Arts and Education or go to www.homeschoolband.net.

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"!
