Kids can stay active with a variety of activities at the YMCA this summer. The offerings, which include Super Swim and several day camps, will give them the opportunity to have fun, gain new skills, and meet friends. Plus, there’s still time to sign up!

In the pool, the Y is offering their Super Swim program, which are hybrid-style lessons for swimmers to build on their skills and progress through levels at a faster pace.

“Usually our swim lessons when they’re laid out, you have to come back multiple weeks to kind of complete those lessons in that set stage,” said YMCA Youth and Sports Executive Paul Briney, “with Super Swim, you are able to come in maybe once a week and complete that stage within the one week.”

Super Swim will be offered June 16th-20th, July 14th-18th, and August 11th-15th. Parents can register their child directly on the YMCA website.

Along with lessons, there’s a few spots available on the roster for camp! The Otumba Camp is a half-day option held in Sturgeon Bay at Otumba Park and the Trekkers Camp, which runs all day, will be held at the Kane Center in Fish Creek. With both camps, lunch is provided.

Through their Summer Foods Program, any kid up to age 18 in the community can get a free lunch. There are over a dozen pick up sites. Lunch must be eaten on-site and the program runs through August 29th. There will be no lunch on July 4th.

“We have a strong volunteer base that comes together to help put together hundreds of snacks and meals each day for kids in the community as well as 14 other pickup sites throughout Door County,” Briney added, “it’s pretty special there that you know, we’re meeting a need and keeping kids fed throughout the Door County community.” 

To sign up for lessons or camp, visit the YMCA website or stop in and visit their welcome desk. No sign up is needed for the Summer Foods program. For a list of menus, times and sites, click here.
