Summer Highlights

We’ve just wrapped up another incredible summer season at YC, and it was nothing short of fantastic!

Mondays were particularly exciting with our themed days. We had events like Hip Hop Day, Color Wars, and Science Olympics, where participants and volunteers from both the east and west sides of town came together to dance, compete, and learn in a lively atmosphere. The energy was contagious as everyone joined in the fun and friendly competition.

Our classic Sports & Swim programs continued to be a major hit, blending the best aspects of YC and summer activities. Teams competed each week in brain teasers, silly sports, and intense competitions in the morning. After a hearty lunch, the afternoons were reserved for relaxing and splashing in the pool with friends. The transition from a sunny, action-packed morning to a refreshing dip in the pool was always a highlight of the day!

Our Mini Camp Crew thrived with seven new little campers this summer. Together, we ventured through splash pads, playgrounds, and pools across Northeast Ohio, and even enjoyed an adventurous day at the Great Lakes Science Center. Back at our facility, our Alumni Fitness and Gardening sessions became a highlight. Each week, a dedicated group gathered for camaraderie, exercise, and some hands-on gardening fun.

The weather may be starting to change, but that does not mean the excitement cools down at YC! We look forward to creating more fun memories with participants and volunteers this fall.
