Kid & Teen Activities

At the Emma B. Howe YMCA of Coon Rapids, we support healthy, active lifestyles for children and teens in our community. Our before-school and after-school child care gives kids a safe space to learn and play between school and home. While they exercise, members at our Y can leave young children at Kids Stuff – a structured environment with age-appropriate activities. Additionally, we offer youth sports leagues, seasonal fitness challenges, and summer camps where children and teens of all ages can stay fit, bond with each other, and learn our core values of caring, equity, honesty, respect, and responsibility.

Youth and teen activities at the Emma B. Howe YMCA of Coon Rapids include:

  • Youth Sports Leagues
  • Before & After School Care
  • Summer Camps for Kids & Teens
  • Workout Child Care
  • Y Adventure Lab Races
