Pickens County YMCA

Wellness: one of our primary purposes is to provide the community with healthy living awareness. We accomplish this through memberships, various programs, personal training and educational resources. Child care: the Pickens County Ymca is the largest child care provider in the area. With approximately 1,700 children in our y's afterschool program, 90 children in the 21st century grant afterschool program, and the 1,787 children in the summer camp we make a huge impact on a large number of children. Our values of honesty, respect, and caring and responsibility are taught to all children. Motto- our summer camp program provides a positive and safe environment for the children in our community where they can enjoy a summer full of achievement, relationships, and belonging. Each child participates in new experiences through camper choice, weekly themed activities, field trips, devotions, and character development. Aquatics and sports: many children and families are looking for recreational activities outside of the school day. The Ymca provides opportunities such as soccer, baseball, volleyball, swim team, group and private swimming lessons. All programs have an emphasis on the christian mission and teaching the children and parents the character values of the Ymca. We are committed to improve the mind, body and spirit of each person we serve.
