Fun and Fit Program
Ages 11-16
The YMCA has collaborated with Sacred Heart Children’s Hospital to provide a well-rounded program for children and families dealing with weight management issues. For children ages 11-16 who are at or above the 85th percentile for BMI. We work with participants to help them on their path to a healthier lifestyle by focusing on three areas: physical exercise, nutritional information, and behavioral coaching. All participants must have a doctor’s release.
The YMCA has instituted a voluntary 3-tier fee system specifically for this program. Our goal is to serve all community income levels. You may choose the tier that is most suitable for you.
Tier I: Significantly subsidized rate which does not reflect the full cost of the program
Tier II: Partially subsidized rate for those who can pay a little more but does not reflect the full cost of the program
Tier III: Closely accounts to the full cost of the program
