Spring/Summer Program Guide

MASON CITY FAMILY YMCA

BE ADVENTUROUS TRY DIFFERENT THINGS

What an exciting time for your Mason City Family YMCA! We

have actively been participating in the Blue Zones Project for

Mason City. We had a site visit on March 14 and as this guide is

printing, we are waiting to see if Mason City is chosen as a Blue

Zones community.

This year marks the 120th anniversary of the Y in Mason City.

We are planning a week long celebration beginning with Healthy

Kids Day on April 28th and ending with a celebration on the

actual anniversary, May 6. Please watch for more information

about this important event and mark your calendars for a week

of fun and celebration.

We have been honored to receive a $10,000 grant from the

National Inclusion Project. We will be incorporating Let’s ALL

Play into our summer day camp. Let’s ALL Play includes

inclusive modifications that work for programs overall or

individuals as well as inclusive games and activities that benefit

ALL children. Chelsie Wood, Youth Development Director, and

Michelle Sorenson, Health, Wellness & Sports Director, have

received training to learn skills to serve families effectively,

build lifelong friendships for children, achieve positive

behaviors, prevent and handle bullying, and create accessible

activities for children with special needs to be included in our

Summer Day Camp. Our goal is to involve 10 children in the first

year of this project.

And finally, please remember to support the Partner of Youth

Campaign beginning in May. As always, thanks for supporting

YOUR Mason City Family YMCA.

Aqua Babies- Ages 6 mo.– 2 years

Classes are designed to allow the child to have fun in

the water through guided instruction with parents.

and breath control. Activities are based on the

developmental abilities of the child. Classes held in

the warm-water therapy pool.

This is a parent/child class which helps

acquaint very young children with the joys

of water. As the class progresses, the

instructor slowly begins working more

individually with children on skills to help

ready them for preschool classes without

parents.

Select a swimming class that

fits your child’s skill level.

develop independent movement through

stroke and kicking skills and becoming

with a kickboard the length of the pool,

previous skills, build endurance, learn to

tread water and perform more progressive

diving skills. Children can swim half-way

to improve their strokes with starts, turns

and dives, learn the sidestroke, and the

skills, as well as develop leadership skills

through volunteer experiences.
