A membership with us allows you to invest into our community. We look forward to serving you! At the Y, we’re so much more than a gym.

Through the Y’s activities for kids and teens, our youth is cultivating the values, skills and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health and educational achievement.

The Y’s teen programs and activities provide opportunities for youth to realize who they are and what they are capable of achieving, all while making friends and memories along the way.

Age is just a number! It is never too late to start getting involved in YMCA activities. Active Older Adults (AOA) at the YMCA experience a strong sense of belonging and create a network of friends who provide support for sustained health and well-being.

The YMCA is the nationwide leader in helping people of all ages feel safe in the water. Each year, the Kankakee Area YMCA teaches thousands of children and adults to swim and certifies a large percentage of area lifeguards. From swim lessons to birthday pool parties to swim team, you'll find water fun at the Y.

The Y offers an array of exciting sports programs - whether it’s gaining the confidence that comes with learning a new sport, building the positive relationships that lead to good sportsmanship and teamwork, or learning new skills, participating in sports at the Y is about building the whole athlete, inside and out.

Our YMCAs offer a wide variety of group fitness classes for almost every ability and interest. You'll find low-impact and beginner classes, cardio fitness, dance, Pilates, cycle and Yoga and more.

We can’t wait to spend the summer with your child! The YMCA summer camp is like no other, with a focus on relationships, achievement and belonging! Your child will make new friends, be active and healthy, learn new skills, and above all have fun.
