KEEPING KIDS HEALTHY
The Greater Joliet Area YMCA offers programs at each of its full-facility branches as well as Messiah Lutheran Church and the Salvation Army Joliet Corps Community Center for children when school is not in session. Whether it's an Institute Day or Holiday Break, your child is invited to join the Y and kids from all of our Kid Zone sites for days full of fun and adventure.
Children, grades K-8, may be signed in at the Y as early as 7 a.m. and signed out as late as 6 p.m. All participants should dress for the weather, bring a sack lunch, a drink, snacks, swimsuit and a towel. Advanced registration is required and space is limited. The registration deadline is 48 hours prior to the day of school. Financial assistance is available. CCR&R and DHS funds are also accepted.
