Youth Fitness Outreach

Because lifestyle choices made in adolescence can have an impact on health in adulthood, it is critical that after school programs are designed to promote the health and physical development of children. Therefore, this program was designed to educate participants of ways to be healthy, which in turn may prevent diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and many other problems associated with unhealthy habits. The program is offered at various District 150 schools and outlying areas as well as the YMCA facility.

Adventure Guides

Ideal for children in grades K-8 and their dads, the program brings together the child and father.  

The families become part of a ‘Circle’ and meet regularly with other families in that ‘Circle’. ‘Circles’ come together to participate in larger activities. Adventure Guides have camp outs, go bowling, visit museums and parades. Trailblazers go horseback riding, snow tubing and go-carting. Both programs take part in activities that center around community building.

Cost: Father & 1 child $45 per year

$5 each additional child
