At the Summit Area YMCA, we’re all about helping teens truly thrive. Our Teen Programs aren’t just activities; they’re built on a clear purpose. We want to create a welcoming space where young people can grow, connect, and discover who they’re meant to be. We believe in nurturing every part of a young person’s development, providing a wide range of opportunities. Whether it’s building leadership skills, staying active, exploring creative talents, developing positive relationships, or simply finding a supportive community, our mission is to give teens the experiences and confidence they need to truly shine and build a strong foundation for their future.
Each week, participants will learn to create seasonal appetizers, hearty entrees, and delicious desserts inspired by classic fall ingredients.
