(Madison, NJ) – August 16, 2023 – The Madison Area YMCA announces our Fall Session beginning on Monday, September 11, including brand new and refreshed classes for all ages. Priority Online Registration for members opens on Monday, August 21 at 9 AM. Open (non-member) registration for classes with remaining availability begins online on Friday, August 25 at 9 AM.

Back-to-school activities and fall sports are just around the corner. YMCA programs help keep children's minds and bodies active and build confidence and a positive attitude. Children can explore new interests. Having choices and taking responsibility engages children and allows them to learn and enjoy something new or continue with something they are already enjoying.

We have several innovative programs available including Melodies and Me, Youth Pickleball, and Aquatics lessons on Sundays. Browse our offerings online with your children; you may be surprised at the classes they are interested in!

"Dive into a world of possibilities with our aquatics classes!” said Vice President of Programs Kim Buccheri, “Whether you're a beginner dipping your toes for the first time or a seasoned swimmer looking to refine your technique, our dedicated instructors are here to guide you every stroke of the way."

Do not wait to register as classes may fill up quickly. The Y offers a wide range of programs to help children reach their goals. Visit https://www.madisonareaymca.org/programs-and-schedules/2023 for more information.
