The Kenosha Y offers before and after-school child care, preschool, summer camp, and Kid’s Club. You will always find an option that suits your needs and programs that offer your son or daughter so much fun and enjoyment!

After a year break the Firecracker was back with over 300 runners! The Firecracker and all Y special events bring the community together in a fun and healthy way to raise funds that support life-changing programs offered free of charge to the community.

Child care is one of the many perks of being a Kenosha YMCA member. Kid’s Club is open in the morning from 8 am to 12:30 pm Monday through Friday and 9 am-12:30 pm on Saturday. We are also open in the evening from 4 pm-8 pm Monday through Thursday and 4 pm-7 pm on Fridays. Children are limited to only two hours at Kid’s Club.

With public pools and beaches opening again this summer, there will certainly be excitement around water! The Kenosha Safety Around Water Coalition is campaigning during the National Safety Around Water month of May tips for safety around water.

The Kenosha Safety Around Water Coalition urges the community not to recreate on the ice in the Kenosha harbor. Lake Michigan, and the harbor area in particular present significant dangers. This remains true in the winter months.

During the month of November, we are using the Kenosha Y’s social media to shine a light on the good things in life and the Y’s positive impact on our community with #30DaysOfThanks.

During the pandemic, the Kenosha Y stepped up with emergency childcare for essential workers—now continuing through a safe, fun, and educational summer program for local families.
