The Y is about youth development: we strive to help children and teens reach their full potential by helping them grow—physically, mentally and socially—from young children into engaged, active members of their communities.

“This event is a great way for kids who have never been in the water or in a sports class to get comfortable with the experience and to begin to develop life skills and interests,” says Jim Downs, VP of Operations at the Hockomock Area YMCA. “Or, if your child wants to try a new program, you’ll find dozens of options in a fun, supportive environment,” he adds.

Getting out on a winter afternoon – for a fun YMCA experience – brings huge rewards. Through Y programs, kids have the opportunity to find new talents, try new activities, gain independence, and make lasting friendships and memories. And, of course, it’s fun too.

“Over the years, thousands of children have learned lifelong skills at the Y and we are proud to be able to continue to make events like this available,” Downs says. “It’s really part of the important role the Y plays in our community.”
