Following Spring Break, the Y will be launching live and on demand virtual P.E. classes. Curriculum will vary by age and will include a variety of exercises, games and challenges to keep everyone active and engaged.
"YMCA's youth classes give kids an opportunity to join their friends online for a fun workout or to learn how to draw, dance or take acting classes together," says Megan Glynn, Chief Development Officer for the YMCA. "It's a great way for kids to stay connected while staying in shape."
