Summer-like weather means outdoor programs at the Christian County YMCA are about to begin or have already begun.  The plans begin with Healthy Kids Day this coming Saturday.  The golf outing follows one week later, and camps for younger participants round out the Y’s offerings for the summer.

Healthy Kids Day will take place at the local YMCA chapter’s soccer fields from 9-11:30 a.m. on Saturday.  Tanner Jones is the program and aquatics director for the Y.  He says the event was moved from its usual April timing to the start of June to take advantage of the warmer weather and to have more space available. 

The Y’s golf outing is set for Friday, June 12.  There is still space for interested teams and participants to sign up until two days prior. 

Mike Eisenbarth, the CC YMCA’s facilities director, will run the Bigfoot Boot Camp.  He says it will include both obstacle courses on the soccer fields along with field trips. 

The Y is also preparing for its special youth basketball clinic, which local legend Allison Duncan (née Curtin) is helping teach.  It’s scheduled for Wednesday, July 1.

A longer basketball skills camp is scheduled from July 20-23.  This is separate from the aforementioned program and features local coaches working with younger players. 

The Christian County YMCA’s main summer camp began the final week of May.  Despite that, registration is still open. 

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

Mike Eisenbarth and Tanner Jones appeared as guests on the WTIM Morning Show.
