Registration is now open for the Spirit of America Youth Boating Program this June. This program for children ages 12 to 15 includes earning your nationally recognized boating certificate (required to operate any boat over 10hp, this certificate never expires), and hands on training time on all kinds of vessels, including sail, power, and paddle.

Ashtabula County Youth Track and Field is now in its second year of being offered through the Y.  Children 8 years old through 6th grade will practice throughout the spring and attend 5-6 meets.  Additional meets will be available late in the season for an additional cost.  The season begins mid March and runs through Memorial Day, with optional AAU meets offered in June.

Ashtabula County Youth Track and Field's fall cross country program is offered through the Y starting this summer.  Children 8 years old and older as of 12/31/21 will practice throughout the summer and fall, and attend several meets.

By supporting the YMCA, you are providing our Ashtabula County kids with the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve in a place where they can learn, grow, play, and thrive, all while being cared for by positive role models in a safe environment.

Learn the basics and practice your game at our youth sports camps.  Each one-week camp will focus on a different sport.  Children will spend the week learning various drills and activities to improve their game, then demonstrate what they learned with a scrimmage or performance on Saturday.  

Our Pre-K students are learning to safely enjoy fun in the pool, just in time for summer! YMCA child 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.
