If you are a parent and want to get your kids out of the house, and around other kids this summer, the YMCA is going to be one of your best bets. We've done this with my kid and it was incredibly helpful. It not only helped us with our work schedules, but it also my kid with social skills.

One thing the pandemic robber our kids of was social growth. Human beings are social creatures and this is especially important at a young age. When you're a kid is when you develop the social skills for the rest of your life. My kid loved going to the YMCA. She got to play games, she got to go swimming. It was exactly what you want your kid doing over the summer. Having fun.
