Mission: To be a community cornerstone that puts christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind, and body for all. The summerville family ymca is a membership of people who are given the opportunity to enhance their daily lives through programs and service that instill the values of caring, honesty, respect, responsibility, and faith. Our purpose is to offer these services to both members and non-members at an affordable cost and enable them to be role models in the community we serve. The ymca instills a holistic health initiative that enables people to fulfill an active lifestyle at their own pace, while encouraging them to develop a strong affirmation for social values. The summerville family ymca does offer programs and opportunities for the whole family in a safe and caring environment. We currently support three facilities that include our downtown summerville location, our oakbrook location, and our newest addition, the ymca at the ponds.
Programs: Wellness center - health and well-being for all at a time when greater than 50% of adults and 15% of children are classified as obese. The ymca provides people with the environment and supportive relationships they need in order to pursue and achieve a healthier lifestyle. This facility includes a state of the art fitness center offering personal training, fitness classes, an indoor exercise pool, kid zones for healthy play, childwatch, teen/ pre-teen fitness classes, and a basketball gymnasium with programs for adults, children, and families.
child care and summer camp - thh ymca helps young people deepen positive values, their commitment to service and their motivation to learn. With an increasing number of dual income and single parent families, the ymca provides the children of our community (kindergarten through middle school) a safe environment through afterschool programs and summer day camps in which to thrive while allowing parents peace of mind while at work to support their families.
