With summer approaching, the Christian County YMCA is preparing to welcome youth in the community to its various camps.  Many of the programs will feature engaging field trips, while others will simply help them stay active.  Executive Director Bruce Blanshan says Allison Curtin – who was named Ms. Basketball of Illinois in 1998 in her time playing at Taylorville High School – will lead the summer’s basketball camp.

The Bigfoot Bootcamp will return for a second year.  This camp will get participants into nature and exploring. 

Separate from the camps, Blanshan also addressed recent temporary closures of the pool at the Y.  He says it’s for hosting lifeguard clinics amid a shortage of lifeguards.

More information on the Christian County YMCA, as well as registration for any of the aforementioned programs, is available at www.ccymca.org.
