CREATING WELCOMING COMMUNITIES FOR ALL! At the Y, we believe communities are at their strongest when everyone feels valued, has support to reach their potential and can fully participate in society. Today, there are more than 42 million foreign-born individuals living in the U.S.—more than at any other point in history. For us to reach our potential as a society, it is imperative that immigrants have access to integration services and receiving communities are prepared to welcome all.

Welcoming Week is a national celebration of the growing movement of communities that fully embrace new Americans and their contributions to the social fabric of our country. Created by YMCA of the USA’s (Y-USA) national partner Welcoming America, Welcoming Week brings together immigrants and U.S.-born residents at community-based events to promote cross-cultural understanding and raise awareness of the benefits of welcoming everyone!

MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION NOW IT’S EASIER THAN EVER TO JOIN THE Y! Membership in the Y is a special thing. Be a part of a leading nonprofit organization for youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.

The YMCA of Snohomish County is a membership organization and anyone can join. So, with simple monthly dues, you have no contracts or minimum stays to worry about and no sales pitches to endure. Just quality, healthy programs that your whole family can enjoy.

MEMBERSHIP TYPES FACILITY MEMBERSHIP Get full access to fitness centers at all six YMCAs in Snohomish County with a Facility Membership. Choose from a wide menu of free group exercise classes, enjoy lap and recreational swimming, and receive a free wellness orientation when you join. And as a facility member, you’ll be eligible for priority registration and reduced fees on specialty classes and programs for your whole family.

PROGRAM MEMBERSHIP If you’re not already a Y Facility Member and want to participate in programs like summer camps, youth sports, swimming lessons and child care, you’ll need an annual Program Membership. You’ll receive the same great level of quality and caring for which the Y is known, but without access to wellness centers and other amenities offered through a full Facility Membership.

COMMUNITY MEMBERSHIP Belonging is a philosophy at the heart of the Y. Everyone in the community is considered a free Community Member and is welcome to participate in key community events and programs such as fun runs, health fairs, and community education.

NATIONWIDE MEMBERSHIP Nationwide Membership enables Y members to visit any participating YMCA in the United States. It is valid for active, full facility members.

Nationwide members must visit their home Y at least 50% of the time.

Program-only participants are not eligible for Nationwide membership.

To find a Y in another location, visit ymca.net.

CORPORATE MEMBERSHIP As part of the YMCA’s corporate membership plan, employees will enjoy the benefits of belonging to Snohomish County’s largest and most respected health, wellness, and human service organization. For more information about corporate membership, please contact the Member Services Director.

MEMBERSHIP FOR ALL We believe everyone deserves a Y experience, so the YMCA of Snohomish County offers financial assistance to individuals and families who might otherwise not be able to afford membership or program fees.

Ask a staff member about financial assistance.

NOW ENROLLING SCHOOL-AGE CARE State Licensed Before & After When school’s out, you can trust the Y to provide an engaging experience for your child right at school. Y School Age programs give your child the opportunity to get to know some of their classmates better as they engage in active play and collaborate on fun projects. In the process, they’ll continue to develop the physical, educational, emotional, and social skills that are essential for success.

Our School-Age Care programs:



Create safe atmospheres of learning that helps develop self-confidence and builds character through promoting the values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility



Help each child develop relationships with others and learn to work together in a cooperative manner



Involve and serve families in significant ways that build upon their strengths



Uses curriculum that supports child-centered and child-directed activities



Creates an environment where team members are partners with parents and other caregivers, working together to help kids grow up healthy, happy, and strong

Our School-Age program serves children enrolled in the Stanwood-Camano School District during their out-of-school times from 6:30 am-6:30 pm.

Our programs are located in the following schools: Utsalady Elementary and Twin City Elementary This program is also accessible to students enrolled in the following schools via transportation provided daily: Stanwood Elementary, Elger Bay Elementary and Cedarhome Elementary FEE OPTIONS Our rate option sheets are available online, at the school age care site, and at our Stanwood-Camano YMCA branch.

FALL 2018 | STANWOOD-CAMANO YMCA

OUR STAFF Our school-age care programs are staffed with people who understand the cognitive, physical and social development of kids, the need children have to feel connected and supported in trying new things, and the caring and reinforcement parents and families need to help each other.

Each school-age care location has a dedicated Site Director, with a minimum of 30 college credits in early childhood or elementary education. All of our staff have had previous experience working with children. Staff have attended, and continue to attend, regularly scheduled training events on behavior management, communication skills, and creative activities to do with kids.

Staff maintain current certification in CPR, First Aid, Child Abuse Prevention, and other certification required by the licensor. In addition, staff and volunteers are thoroughly screened prior to employment and evaluated on a regular basis to ensure continually high performance.

SNACKS Menus are created to meet our healthy eating guidelines and be appealing to children. We strive to improve nutrition and offer variety. Providing pleasant mealtime experiences is key in promoting healthy eating habits. A morning and an afternoon snack are provided daily at scheduled times. Menus are available at child care sites upon request.

YOUTH DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES

CHILD WATCH & ADVENTURE ZONE

Children are like sponges - they watch and absorb knowledge, skills and values from everything and everyone around them. At the Y, we believe the values and skills learned early on are vital building blocks for quality of life and future success. At the Y, school-age kids make friends, learn new skills and do homework.

Most importantly, children learn how to be their best selves.

Specific activities are different for each location and age group, but all locations feature:

AGES: 6 weeks-11 years Your child will be safe and well cared for in these areas of the facility while you enjoy your workout. Parents and Guardians must remain on site while utilizing our drop in care areas. Due to heavy usage and limited space, especially during peak times, we have a 2 hour limit in both rooms.

Please refer to our room schedules for age limits in both Child Watch and Adventure Zone during specific times. Be sure to pick up a parent brochure at the check-in area for more specific information on these member benefits.

SWIM LESSONS NUTURING SKILLS AND BUILDING CONFIDENCE IN THE WATER

PRIVATE AND SEMI-PRIVATE LESSONS

For more than 160 years, the YMCA has nurtured potential and united communities across America to create lasting, meaningful change. Everything the Y does is in service of building a better us. One of the most effective ways to accomplish this is to teach youth, teens, and adults to swim, so they can stay safe around water and learn the skills they need to make swimming a lifelong pursuit for staying healthy.

Y swim instructors are nationally certified. Their training includes CPR, AED, First Aid and Oxygen Administration.

Swim lessons provide important life skills that could save a life and will benefit students for a lifetime.

Private Lessons are taught on a one-on-one basis tailored to fit your individual needs or goals. Semi-Private Lessons can be used to teach multiple individuals of a similar skill level at the same time. Students who are unable to participate in group lessons due to special needs that make a group environment unsafe are given priority.

Teen and Adult (12-17 years and 18+) Classes will focus on the individual goals and needs of each student. This class helps develop comfort in the water, introduce air exchange, floating on front and back, learn basic crawl stroke and other basic strokes. Students are introduced to the backstroke, sidestroke, breaststroke, and elementary backstroke, with emphasis on technique to increase endurance.

WE’RE HERE FOR EVERYONE All ages-from infants to seniors–can learn to swim. Check out our class offerings to find one that fits your family’s busy schedule.

HEALTHY LIVING YMCA’S DIABETES PREVENTION PROGRAM

WHAT IS PREDIABETES?

If you are at high risk for type 2 diabetes, the YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program can help you adopt and maintain healthy lifestyles that will help you reduce your chances of developing diabetes.

Prediabetes is a condition in which individuals have blood glucose levels that are higher than normal, but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. People with prediabetes are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.

The YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program helps those at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes adopt and maintain healthy lifestyles by eating healthier, increasing physical activity and losing a modest amount of weight in order to reduce their chances of developing the disease.

Research by the National Institutes of Health has proven that programs like the YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program can reduce the number of cases of type 2 diabetes by 58%.

PROGRAM GOALS:



Reduce body weight by 7%



Increase physical activity to 150 minutes per week

An estimated one in three U.S. adults has prediabetes, yet just 11% of those with prediabetes know they have it. Prediabetes increases the risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke.

Risk for developing type 2 diabetes may be reduced or eliminated by weight loss, healthier eating, and increased physical activity.

Visit our website today to take a quiz to learn if you are at risk for prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. Learn more at ymca-snoco.org/preventdiabetes.

TO SEE IF YOU QUALIFY, AND TO ENROLL, CONTACT: Healthy Living Director, 425 374 5777

DETAILS: In a classroom setting, a trained lifestyle coach will facilitate a small group of participants in learning about healthier eating, physical activity and other behavior changes.

The year-long program consists of 25 sessions over the course of one year.

The group will meet every week for 16 weeks, followed by three bi-weekly classes, then six months of follow-up with one session per month.

WHO CAN PARTICIPATE? In order to qualify for the program, you must be at least18 years old, overweight (BMI > 25)* and at high risk for developing type 2 diabetes indicated by a confirmatory blood value†, prediabetes determined by clinical diagnosis of Gestational Diabetes (GDM) during previous pregnancy, or a qualifying risk score. *Asian individual(s) BMI > 22 †Individuals who have already been diagnosed with either type 1 or type 2

diabetes do not qualify for this program.
