Keeping our community safe, clean, and healthy is a responsibility we all share. 🤝 💖

Some local community helpers visited Camp New Heights to teach us how they care for our community. Campers had the chance to interact with the equipment they use every day to keep us safe and healthy!

Happy Lifeguard Appreciation Day! 🌊

July 31 is International Lifeguard Appreciation Day. The Ann Arbor YMCA would like to thank all of our amazing lifeguards that keep our pools and camp waterfronts safe! Their training, dedication, and watchful eyes make it possible for our community to enjoy the water worry-free.

If you visit our downtown facility today, stop by the Welcome Center and write a thank-you note for our lifeguards! We'll be displaying your messages on the lobby windows to show our appreciation for all they do.
