Summer is here, Alexandria! And there’s no better place to soak up the sun, get active, and connect with your community than the Alexandria Area YMCA. We’ve got something exciting for every age group—from adventurous kids to active older adults. Check out what’s happening this summer and see why the YMCA is your go-to spot for fun, fitness, and friendships.
FOR KIDS
Summer Adventure Camp: Give your kids (ages 5-10) a summer to remember. We’re pairing weekly themes with field trips that explore the best of Douglas County. From poolside splashes to making new best friends, it’s the ultimate summer adventure.
T-Ball League: This fun and engaging t-ball league is the perfect introduction to baseball and softball for Alexandria area kids ages 3-7.
Swim Lessons: Life in Alexandria means life on the water! From Lake Darling to Lake Agnes, we want every kid to be water-ready. Our instructors help build confidence in our warm indoor pool so they're ready for the beach.
FOR ADULTS
Group Exercise: With a large number of classes to choose from, our group exercise options offer something for everyone, whether you’re kickstarting your fitness journey or enhancing your current routine. All classes are included with your YMCA membership!
Fitness Center & Walking Track: In the summer, most of us love being outside. But if it's a rainy day and you need to get your steps in, the indoor walking track is always here. Plus, our state-of-the-art equipment can help you hit your summer fitness goals.
Child Watch: Parents, remember to prioritize your health and well-being this summer! Lift some weights, relax in the hot tub, or join a group exercise class at the YMCA while your child plays in a supervised space.
FOR SENIORS
FOREVERWELL: According to a national poll on healthy aging, "in 2023, one in three adults age 50–80 (34%) reported feeling isolated from others." We're working to combat social isolation in older adults by offering group exercise classes, social activities, lunches, and educational speakers for Alexandria area older adults.
Pickleball: Whether you play on one of the Alexandria area's amazing outdoor courts or you join the welcoming pickleball community at the YMCA, pickleball is the most fun you can have while staying active.
