The Christian County YMCA is preparing to welcome people of all ages to their various summer offerings.  The pool, activity center, and other locations in the area are the place to be for camps, classes, tournaments, and other fun events.  With new renovations complete, the facilities are ready for action.

The biggest change surrounds the indoor pool.  It had been closed for some time to repair the concrete floor, where water had been leaking out.  Bruce Blanshan, Executive Director for the CC YMCA, is excited and relieved the pool will be open again. 

The activity center also has a new look with added features such as a scoreboard and school banners.  The upgrades happened thanks to a donation campaign, and the “Y” is recognizing those who contributed. 

Kids’ camps will be beginning soon.  Each week has its own theme, and activities include a wiffle ball tournament and a search for Bigfoot.

As for the adults, the YMCA is preparing for its annual golf outing.  Blanshan says that fundraiser plus their other similar efforts ensure their services are available for everyone.
