ESCANABA — The YMCA is offering Winter Break at the Y for ages 5 – 12. This program will take place at the Wells Childcare and Youth Center on Dec. 23, Dec. 30, and Dec. 31. On Dec. 23 and 30, care will be available from 7:45 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. and from 7:45 a.m. – 5 p.m. on Dec. 31.

Out of school programming helps to keep your children active and engaged, all while being cared for in a safe environment. Children participating in Winter Break at the Y will be involved in games that encourage physical activity, activities that promote teamwork, and crafts that keep the minds engaged. Each day will have a different theme to ensure variety. Participants will also enjoy some fresh air in outdoor play, so we do ask you to bring appropriate outdoor gear.

Themes are: Dec. 23: Twas the day before Christmas; Dec. 30: Polar Pajama Party; Dec. 31: Welcome to Who-ville.
