Christian County YMCA Preparing For Busy Summer With Camps, Fundraising

Summer is around the corner and that means the Christian County YMCA will be busy with programming for kids of all ages.  Sporting events, camps, and lessons will be on offer to keep kids active and engaged throughout the season.  The Y is seeing healthy enrollment in their summer offerings, and the numbers continue to climb. 

 

First, though, the spring soccer season is wrapping up.  Saturday, May 10 is all-star weekend.  Bruce Blanshan – Executive Director of CCYMCA – says it will be a busy weekend with many teams playing at once. 

 

 

 

Summer camps will begin soon for kids aged five to twelve.  Blanshan says in addition to trips as far away as St. Louis, the Y is looking to put on engaging themes each week.

 

 

 

And to provide these camps and events, CCYMCA is looking to raise funds.  They will hold their annual golf outing early this summer to do just that.  It’s scheduled for Friday, June 13 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at Lakeshore Golf Course.  The cost to take part is $100 per player.

 

 

 

CCYMCA is also celebrating the success of their recent Healthy Kids Day event and Color Run.  It took place at the Christian County Fairgrounds, which as Blanshan says is perfect for the large crowd the event attracted. 

 

 

 

More information on the Christian County YMCA is available at www.ccymca.org.
