The First INSYDE
Here is the first of our updates on Canal Square Y programs as we prepare our transition to the new University Park YMCA, opening in 2011. Although we will not have Summer Day Camps at Canal Square Y this summer, we encourage families to stay active and explore summer camps and programs at all our Akron Area YMCA branches. We are all working together to help you through this transition.
Serving families and the community since 1931, the Canal Square YMCA was the first Akron Area YMCA branch. Developed from the Christian heritage on which the YMCA was founded, we are proud to transition our mission driven programs to the new University Park YMCA. Celebrate with us as we begin a new chapter for our YMCA!
