The Scottsbluff Family YMCA offers school age programs for children in Scottsbluff, Gering, Terrytown, and all surrounding communities. Our programs are fully staffed and provide an excellent opportunity for your child to have fun, make friends, learn, and stay active! From the summer time to the school year, your Scottsbluff YMCA has quality programs for your child. See our program information below and contact our front desk for additional information.
The Active Kids provides a fun space with attentive staff members to look after your kids during your workout or while you are in the YMCA. Here at the Scottsbluff Family YMCA we love to see the children being taught an active lifestyle in wellness and education. We have changed the name of Child Watch to Active Kids in order to promote what your child will be doing at the YMCA – Being ACTIVE! Active Kids is for children ages 6 weeks and older.
