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.
OUR
MISSION To put Judeo-Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all.
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.

DROWNING PREVENTION
3 Layers of
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.
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.

YOUTH DEVELOPMENT
Nurturing the potential of every child and teen
SWIM, SPORTS & PLAY 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 Camp
We welcome your child to our ten-week adventure camp. Each week offers fun and engaging activities that focus on discovery. One of the Y’s core missions is Youth Development. During our Adventure Camp, kids have the opportunity to explore nature, find new talents, try new activities, gain independence, and make lasting friendships and memories. Don’t forget, it’s a summer of fun.

Fun Days and Spring Break Camps
When 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.

YMCA OF SOUTH FLORIDA Serving Broward, Miami-Dade & Monroe Counties
Youth Sports Recreational Soccer
Our soccer program introduces children up to the age of twelve the joys of team sports. The program is designed to improve skills, make new friends, be active with other kids! Our soccer program is a great recreational introduction to the game and teaches kids to love sports at the Y.
Child Care
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:
Kid Zone
Our Kid Zone is open Monday through Saturday providing on-site child care for two hours while you work out. Every YMCA staff member is carefully selected, trained and tested to ensure a safe environment for your child. Our Kid Zone provides fun and safe activities for children of all ages, while helping nurture child development.
• Shorter sessions • Lower staff-to-participant ratios • Adaptive materials and supplies
Y Sports Buddies
Preschool
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.
Quality 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.
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.

It boasts a beach entrance, which means you can easily access the water for great core-strengthening workouts. Walk or roll into our pool! Our kids-only Splash Zone is open during the summer, providing hours of squish wet fun!

• Barbell - Pump it Up • Cardio-Kick Fitness • Interval Training • Kettlebell Training • Water & Land Warrior Training • Obstacle Course Training
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. Running, 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 Time Serving families has always been at the heart of the Y. Family 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.
Monthly Potluck
Active Older Adults There’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. Exercise classes are designed for all levels and abilities, with chair and gentle options as well as full range of motion and standing classes, including Chair Yoga, Tai Chi, Cardio and Strength, EnhanceFitness™, Silver Sneakers®, Spinning® and Zumba®
Join your friends at the North Pointe YMCA Family Center for monthly potlucks. This great event is held on the third Friday of every month. Members join together from noon to 1:30pm to share recipes, work-out stories, Mission Moments and the joy of being a Y member.
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 recreational like swimming, camping, cooking and arts, Ys want families doing them together because you’ll live healthier and make memories for a lifetime.

SUMMER TIPS Keep Your Kids
Active This Summer
BUDGET-FRIENDLY IDEAS FOR SUMMER FAMILY FUN
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:
Great 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.
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.
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.
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.
12
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, islandinspired 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.
