From the Garland Y's website:
The YMCA Of Metropolitan Dallas offers a variety of programs that are designed to promote our six character values: caring, trustworthiness, fairness, respect, citizenship and responsibility. At the YMCA, we offer activities for every generation, from yoga babies to seniors' water aerobics. The journey of a family is written by experiencing life together at the YMCA.
Active Older Adults
The YMCA has developed several activities to encourage and motivate mature adults to take action, get engaged and establish a stronger community of friends through the Y.
After School
Once a child reaches school age, multiple influences enter his or her life. YMCA After School ensures that the time after school is occupied creatively and constructively.
Camp
In addition to our traditional day camps, the YMCA offers two year-round camps, Camp Grady Spruce (resident and family retreat camp) and Collin County Outdoor Education Camp.
Health and Wellness
The YMCA health and wellness programs help people at any stage of life build positive health habits. Participation in YMCA programs offers youth and adults opportunities to develop friendship and community and a sense of well-being.
Sports
Sports and fitness activities have always been at the core of YMCA programming. YMCA sports teach values and character building that can become the very foundation of a person's life.
Teens
