YMCA of Northern Alberta believes a fun summer experience is for everyone

The YMCA of Northern Alberta is ensuring that everyone has an opportunity for a fun summer experience this year.

“The last two years have been hard on everyone, especially children and youth who have missed out on vital opportunities to connect with each other, participate in their community, get active and make friends,” said the organization in a release.

This summer, YMCA of Northern Alberta is bringing back play with their summer day camps, swimming lessons and youth leadership opportunities, and they believe that all families should be able to access these opportunities.

The YMCA charity also offers financial assistance to those who need it to increase accessibility. Officials state that currently, one in four YMCA members receives financial assistance, and the organization processes many of its requests for its popular summer day camps each year.
