Summer is approaching quickly, and we can feel the energy in the air at our YMCA locations! Whether you’re looking to mix up your routine, try an outdoor class, or spend quality family time together at the YMCA, we’ve got you covered!
Summer Camp
We believe in the many benefits of Summer Day Camp. If you haven't registered for camp yet, now is the time. Very limited spots remain at Bar Y Outdoor Adventure Camp, Brenda Cowan Elementary, and Second Street School in Frankfort. Don't miss the adventure, enrichment, and fun of YMCA Summer Day Camp! Registration is open here.
Thank you to White, Greer & Maggard Orthodontics for continued support of summer camp.

Mobile App Wellness Challenges
We’re encouraging you to stay active this summer in the Strong Body, Strong Heart, and Strong Mind app challenges. For June, July, and August, we will offer a monthly focus on strength, heart, and mind/body respectively. This might be the perfect chance to try new equipment or a new class and earn prizes along the way. Bonus! We’ll drop all new on-demand videos bi-weekly that align with these challenges, taught by your very own YMCA instructors, so you stay active even on summer vacation!
Working at the YMCA
Summer isn’t just a great time for members and program participants – employees have a blast, too! While the YMCA is a great place to work year-round, summer always brings plenty of opportunities for seasonal positions. In addition to a job with purpose and building lifelong relationships with colleagues, eligible employees can receive a summer bonus of $500 cash. Explore job openings and apply for your best job ever here.
