October 7 is National Child Health Day, and the Y remains committed to supporting the physical, mental, social and intellectual health of your child year-round! From youth sports to after-school programming, the Greater Scranton YMCA is dedicated to you and your family.
Get Moving with Youth Sports
Engaging in regular physical activity is crucial for your child’s development. The Greater Scranton YMCA offers a variety of youth sports programs designed to keep kids active and foster a love for physical fitness. Whether it’s soccer, basketball, swimming, or archery, there’s something for every child to enjoy. Participation in sports not only improves physical health but also teaches important life skills such as teamwork, discipline and perseverance.
Support Mental and Social Well-Being with our Afterschool Program
The Y’s afterschool program provides a safe and supportive environment where children can develop socially and emotionally. The program offers a blend of academic support, recreational activities and social interaction, helping children build friendships and enhance their mental well-being. By participating in our afterschool program, your child can explore new interests, gain confidence, and develop a sense of belonging.
Encourage Intellectual Growth with Enrichment Activities
At the Y, we believe in nurturing the intellectual health of children through diverse enrichment activities. Our programs include activities like board game nights, Wii Mario Kart, messy art and more. These activities stimulate curiosity, foster creativity and enhance problem-solving skills. Encouraging your child to engage in intellectual pursuits helps them build a solid foundation for lifelong learning and success.
