ENSURING A BRIGHTER FUTURE 
At the Newark Y, we believe the values and skills learned early on are vital building blocks for a good quality of life.
Because of the Y, our kids are making healthier and smarter choices. In our programs, kids learn to share, build character, and more importantly, learn how to be themselves. That makes for confident kids today and contributing and engaged adults tomorrow.
Here's how we nurture the potential of every child and teen:
Swim, sports and play - Positive, fun activities that build athletic, social, and interpersonal skills
Aquatics
Sports for Teens
Youth Sports
Camp - Exciting, safe community for young people to explore the outdoors, build self-esteem, develop interpersonal skills, and make lasting friendships and memories.
Summer Day Camp
Camp Linwood - MacDonald
Child care - Safe, nurturing environment for children to learn to grow and develop social skills
