THE YMCA OF METROPOLITAN DETROIT IS A VOLUNTEER LED PUBLIC CHARITY THAT INCLUDES MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN OF ALL AGES, ABILITIES, INCOMES, RACES AND RELIGIONS. OUR MISSION IS TO PUT JUDEO-CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES INTO PRACTICE THROUGH PROGRAMS THAT BUILD HEALTHY SPIRIT, MIND AND BODY FOR ALL.

Program accomplishments

• CHILD CARE AND DAY CAMP THE YMCA OFFERS CHILDREN AND PARENTS A SAFE AND CARING PLACE TO GROW, SUPPORTING PARENTS' EFFORTS TO NURTURE THEIR CHILDREN'S HEALTHY DEVELOPMENT. TRAINED AND CERTIFIED STAFF PROVIDE AFFORDABLE, HIGH-QUALITY CARE FOR PEACE OF MIND AND FAMILY SUCCESS. IN 2025, OVER 1,400 CHILDREN PARTICIPATED IN AGE-APPROPRIATE ENJOYABLE CHILD CARE EXPERIENCES. YMCA CHILD CARE, INCLUDING AFTER-SCHOOL CARE, IS OFFERED IN LICENSED LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN AND INCLUDES YOUTH FITNESS TO ENSURE A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE AT THE EARLIEST AGE. ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO GIVE CHILDREN A HEAD START IN LIFE IS THROUGH THE QUALITY CHILD CARE PROGRAMS AT THE YMCA. BUT ANYONE WITH CHILDREN KNOWS EVEN THE MOST AFFORDABLE CHILD CARE PROGRAM IS A CONSIDERABLE FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY. FOR SOME, WITHOUT THE HELP OF THE YMCA ANNUAL CAMPAIGN, IT WOULDN'T EVEN BE A POSSIBILITY. THAT IS WHY THE ANNUAL CAMPAIGN HELPS BUILD STRONG FAMILIES OF ALL SIZES BY OFFERING MUCH NEEDED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR CHILD CARE. SUMMER DAY CAMP IS ALSO OFFERED AT EVERY YMCA OF METROPOLITAN DETROIT BRANCH, AND ENROLLMENT OFTEN FILLS UP QUICKLY. BUT THE YMCA PROVIDES SEVERAL DIFFERENT SUMMER CAMP EXPERIENCES - CAMP OHIYESA IN HOLLY, CAMP NISSOKONE IN OSCODA OR MULTIPLE DAY CAMP LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN. IN 2025, NEARLY 2,000 CHILDREN ATTENDED CAMP IN THE SUMMER. FOUR OF EVERY TEN CHILDREN IN YMCA DAY CAMP ARE PROVIDED SUBSIDY ASSISTANCE FROM OUR ANNUAL CAMPAIGN. LAST YEAR, THE ASSOCIATION RAISED OVER $1 MILLION TO SUPPORT FAMILIES AND CHILDREN TO ENABLE THEIR FULL PARTICIPATION IN NURTURING PROGRAMS.

• AQUATICS SWIMMING LESSONS, AS WE KNOW THEM TODAY, WERE INVENTED AT THE DETROIT YMCA IN 1910 BEFORE SPREADING THROUGHOUT THE YMCA NATIONAL MOVEMENT.

THE Y'S APPROACH TO SWIM LESSONS PROVIDES FOR MORE ACTIVE INVOLVEMENT AND A BETTER FUNDAMENTAL UNDERSTANDING OF SWIMMING.
