Summer Youth Activities

S

ummer is filled with sunshine, watermelon, and lounging by the pool. New York Times best-selling author Jenny Han said it well. “Everything good, everything magical happens between the months of June and August.” For kids in the area, the Monett YMCA is providing many opportunities for everything good, everything magical to happen with their summer programs. Again this year, the YMCA will offer the Summer Day Camp Program running from June 27 through August 19. Along with summer basket-

ball and aquatics, there will be a lot of options to keep kids busy this summer. Bob Crouthamel, Sports and Youth Director at the Monett YMCA, oversees all youth and adult sports, roller skating program, summer day camp, and school day-out program. Although he’s only been with the Monett YMCA for about a year, Crouthamel has worked for the YMCA for nearly seven years. He shared the YMCA mission: The YMCA is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind, and body for all.
