Positive Experiences

The YMCA of the Pikes Peak Region makes every effort to support families seeking a healthier lifestyle. Children visiting Child Watch have the opportunity to participate in activities that help build a stronger spirit, mind and body. In order to ensure that every child has the best experience possible, the Y requests that children refrain from bringing electronic devices to Child Watch. This includes mp3 players, tablets, cell phones and portable games. Thank you.
