If Gibraltar Area Schools opts for remote learning to start this fall, the Northern Door YMCA is ready to fill the gap for area families. Gibraltar’s school board could decide on August 19th whether it would open for in-person classes when the academic year begins September 8th.  With the COVID-19 activity level currently at moderately high for Door County, the Gibraltar Area Schools threshold plan would have students do primarily remote learning with in-school instruction by appointment only for certain classes. If that is the case, the Northern Door YMCA would establish a learning center for students to receive academic support and other physical fitness activities. Northern Door Youth Director Lee McConkey said they started working on the plan at the beginning of July with other YMCAs across the country. She hopes it provides a useful service for families.

Registration is limited to just 12 students and would continue until in-person instruction is available at Gibraltar.
