WELCOME Join the Y for fun, sun and cause
We’re looking forward to one of the best summers ever at the YMCA of South Florida. Summer is a time filled with lots of fun! Kids will enjoy new adventures in summer camp, learn to swim and make new friends. Families will connect and spend time together at the pool and with family-oriented activities, and friends will become healthier together in the Y’s group exercise classes and wellness programs. Summer is also the time when our community need is the greatest – from providing financial assistance to one out of every four summer camp kids, to leading the effort to provide swim lessons to make sure all kids are safe in and around the water; meeting the needs of our community is our cause. Thanks to our donors, community partners and members like you, the Y has the tools and resources the entire family needs to have a healthy, happy and safe summer. We invite you to join us for some fun, some sun, and a bit of cause.

TEACHING ALL CHILDREN TO BE SAFE IN AND AROUND WATERAccidental drowning is the leading cause of death among infants and small children in Florida, and Broward and Miami-Dade counties lead the state, but the reality is accidental drowning is preventable. That’s why the YMCA of South Florida offers water safety and swim lessons for children of all skill levels and different capabilities.
SWIM FOR JENNY WEEK: Our annual Drowning Prevention Program where participants receive a free week
of swim lessons, learn basic swimming skills and practice safety habits while in and around the water. Last year the YMCA of South
Florida impacted over 1,500 children and adults across Broward and Miami-Dade counties.
MOBILE AQUATICS TEAM: During the summer, our team of Aquatics Professionals provide swim lessons to community, apartment, and multi-unit pools. Free to eligible locations. If your apartment complex or community is interested in participating in this lifesaving program please contact:
Jackie Morgan at 954-334-9622 or jmorgan@ymcasouthflorida.org.
3 Layers of Drowning Prevention Drowning is the number ONE killer of children ages 4 and under. These three layers of prevention can help make a child safer in, on and around the water.
DROWNING PREVENTION JOIN US IN SAVING LIVES. HELP US TEACH A CHILD TO SWIM.
The YMCA of South Florida has adopted Swim for Jenny as our signature drowning prevention program. Who is Jenny? Jenny was a one-of-a-kind 12-year-old child. She was smart, energetic, beautiful and blessed with a loving family. Unfortunately, Jenny did not know how to swim. She lost her life when she drowned at a friend’s birthday party. A group of amazing volunteers created Swim for Jenny as a reminder of the importance of learning to swim.
Together we can prevent drownings by providing swim scholarships, water safety awareness and education to the South Florida community.

YOUTH DEVELOPMENT
The Y is the starting point for many youth to learn about becoming and staying active, and developing healthy habits they’ll carry with them throughout their lives. And the benefits are far greater than just physical health. Whether it’s gaining the confidence that comes from learning to swim or building the positive relationships that lead to good sportsmanship and teamwork, participating in sports at the Y is about building the whole child, from the inside out.
Summer CampAt the Y, we believe all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. Summer is the time for creating amazing experiences, building lasting friendships, new memories and days filled with lots of fun and laughter. Children are inspired to explore and grow each day. Come to Adventure Camp for arts and crafts, games, sports, weekly field trips, reading lessons with a certified teacher and more. We do it all!Dates: June 13-August 19
Fun Days and Spring Break CampsWhen school is out, the fun starts at the Y. Join the Y for a day of camp fun with games, youth fitness, arts and crafts, and more. Our Fun Days have it all. Pre- and post-program supervised activity time also available.

INCLUSION PROGRAMS FOR CHILDREN, TEENS AND ADULTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS Learning to read, tying your shoe, going on your first field trip or simply making a new friend are experiences that create lasting memories for every child. For children who have special needs, reaching these milestones comes with unique challenges. The goal of inclusion is to increase each child’s ability to take part in activities with their peers and to create a mutual sense of belonging.
The Y currently offers inclusion at elementary and middle schools. The program is designed for children, teens and adults ages 3 to 22 with a wide range of special needs, including physical, developmental, sensory and learning disabilities. The service structure and program schedule closely mirror that of a typical Y afterschool program with increased support such as:
• Shorter sessions • Lower staff-to-participant ratios• Adaptive materials and supplies
Y Sports Buddies Y Sports Buddies is an exciting, inclusive
sports program for children of all ability levels that teach social skills, increasing self-confidence, skill development and promoting physical activity. They are paired with a volunteer (buddy) that helps engage them in the activity during each session.
Volunteers and players alike enjoy interacting with each other while they experience the benefits of such sports as soccer, swimming and basketball. Sessions are facilitated by YMCA staff that can help participants and deal with any challenges that may
come up during the sessions.
*Inclusion Programs currently available in Broward County only
Teen Athletic Training (Monthly Sessions)This 4-week training program will improve your level of fitness no matter where you are starting. Our Certified Personal Trainer leads a small group of teens through energizing circuits designed to deliver a total body experience while also teaching them about healthy eating habits!

Youth SportsRecreationalA range of recreational youth sports options, including basketball and martial arts, can be found throughout South Florida at the Y. Improve your skills, make new friends, be active with other kids and learn to love a sport at the Y.
Summer BasketballOur basketball program builds winners on and off the court. We develop more than strong athletes; we cultivate a child’s mind while instilling positive values like teamwork, honesty, and dedication. We teach skills that are the foundation for future play...whether we are working with a future all-star or someone who is playing simply for the love of the game.Season: June 14-August 20
Karate (Monthly Sessions)Martial arts is about much more than channeling physical strength. This sport nurtures patience, precision and other forms of inner strength. At the Y children learn how to defend themselves, but also the proper application for their new skills. They emerge as better and more mature individuals, capable of self-control and discipline.
May/June: Early Registration: April 15-30 Regular Registration: May 1- 15 July/August: Early Registration: June 15-30 Regular Registration: July 1-August 15 September: Early Registration: August 15-30 Regular Registration: September 1-15

PreschoolQuality full-day and partial-day child care for infants through preschoolers is available at select locations in Broward and Miami-Dade counties, enabling parents and family members to go to work knowing their children are in safe, stimulating environments.

Sports & Recreation We believe sports, fun and exploring new interests improve health and connect people. That’s why you’ll find a range of recreational activities at the Y. Cycling, running, racquetball, swimming and many more recreational activities are available at the Y. Instruction, lessons and group trips are likely part of the mix, so it may be time for you to try something new.
Group Interests
At the Y, we offer a sense of community, fellowship and support that enriches people’s lives. You’re as likely to find a knitting class as an aerobic class at your Y, and book clubs, language classes, group travel and cooking classes are becoming as popular as anything in the gym. Take a deeper look at something you’re interested in while learning alongside others from your community who share your interests.
Family TimeFamily time at the Y is about giving families as a unit, and as individuals, the opportunities to build stronger bonds, achieve greater work/life balance, and become more engaged with their communities.
Family Nights Families come together; participate in a variety of fun, family-friendly activities; share, communicate and strengthen their relationships; and meet other families.
Family Wellness/Nutrition and Recreation The Y has always been a place where families can play, be active and learn together. Whether the activities are physical like sports or exercise classes, or more.
Active Older AdultsThere’s no better place than the Y for active older adults to stay healthy. We serve 15,000 Active Older Adults with health empowerment workshops, wellness and exercise classes, health seminars with doctors and health professionals, social events and volunteering.

Keep Your Kids Active This Summer It’s summer time. Kids are more likely to gain weight due to inactivity. Follow these tips to help your kids and family stay active and healthy this summer:
EAT HEALTHY Make water the drink of choice (supplemented by
age-appropriate portions of 100 percent fruit juices and low-fat milk) and make it easy for everyone to fill half their plates with fruits and vegetables by offering two or three colorful options. Feel free to mix and match
fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables to provide variety.
PLAY EVERY DAY/ GO OUTSIDE Kids should have at least an hour a day of
unstructured play outside (when possible) and break a sweat at least three times a week by getting 20 minutes or more of
vigorous physical activity.
GET TOGETHER Eat as a family as frequently as possible with kids involved in meal preparation and clean up. In addition, adults should take a break from electronics and spend one-on-one time each day
with their kids, enjoying one another’s company.
REDUCE SCREEN TIME
Time spent in front of a television, computer, tablet, cell phone or video games should be limited to two hours per day.
SLEEP WELL
Kids and adults need to keep a regular sleep schedule—10-12 hours per night for kids and seven to eight hours for adults.
SUMMER TIPSBUDGET-FRIENDLY IDEAS FOR SUMMER FAMILY FUNGreat family memories and fun, physical activity doesn’t have to break the bank. Try these creative, cost-saving alternatives for enjoying summer vacation that build family connections.
TAKE A HISTORY AND ARCHITECTURE TOUR – If exploring the grand architecture and buildings of Europe isn’t in the budget this year, families can plan interesting adventures right in their own communities. Map out a route to bike or walk
and explore different places of worship. Contact the local historical society for information on significant homes and buildings. Firehouses and other public places often welcome visits.
BRING THE BEACH TO THE BACKYARD – Don’t live near sand or sea? Bring a taste of the tropics to your neighborhood with a backyard beach party for friends and family. Play games with inflatable beach balls; turn
on the sprinkler for a cool splash. Turn up the beach tunes and dance. Serve up tropical fruit kabobs and grill a healthy, island-inspired lunch of fish and veggies.
TAKE STOCK OF THE MARKET – Spend a morning exploring a farmer’s market and stock up on fresh, ripe locally grown produce. Talk to vendors about seasonal favorites and get the kids engaged in
picking favorites and new foods to try. Pick up a plant or two and experience the fun of pride of growing fresh tomatoes or strawberries at home.
FIND A VOLUNTEER “VACATION” – Try something new while helping others or the environment. Find a volunteer project for the whole family – planting flowers in public areas, picking up litter in the park,
or taking shelter dogs for a walk. Local Ys can help find a volunteer opportunity that matches family interests.
PLAY AROUND TOWN – Challenge the family to play on a different playground every week. Identify playgrounds at a variety of parks; expand definitions of playgrounds to include nature trails, a nearby stream, and a bike
path. Keep a diary of favorite places and activities.

STRENGTHEN OUR COMMUNITY AS YOU STRENGTHEN YOURSELFThe YMCA of South Florida is making a huge difference in our communities. Throughout the community, people know the Y. What they don’t know is that the Y not only strengthens our bodies, it strengthens our community. As our community faces new challenges each day, there is a greater need for us to continue the work we do every day, and make a difference.
We plan to touch many more lives in more meaningful ways than ever before. We invite you to be a part of it. There are two ways you can – Give and Volunteer.
