The East Jefferson YMCA offers so many great classes and programs for kids and families. It's way more than a gym for adults. Your kids can take art, soccer, t-ball, baseball, tae kwon do, dance, and attend a holiday camp. Plus, their kids night out program is a great opportunity for mom and dad to take a break while the kids have a blast! A fairly new program that has been a big hit for members is the after school homework help. Mom and dad can work out while their child gets all their work done! Sounds like a stress free evening at home with the family!
