Summit Area YMCA Offers Free Classes To Seniors this Summer
The Summit Area YMCA builds stronger communities with programs and services that help all individuals learn, grow, and thrive in a welcoming, inclusive environment. At the Y, seniors who participate in our healthy living and social programs increase their self-confidence and sense of achievement while building a strong sense of belonging and a network of friends. As a result, these active older adults live a healthier and more fulfilling life.
