Description: The Y has been an important source of kidstuff throughout the county for years. Its varied programs are well supervised, age-specific, and lots of fun. Choose to have the kids experience horseback riding, surfing, skating, crafts, gymnastics, or a dozen other fun camps, workshops, and ongoing classes. The skateboard park is world-famous, including two of the best “cement pools” in the country, and was featured in the 2003 X-Games. Beginning skaters can learn in “mini land.” Visitors are also enjoying the Y’s brand-new aquatic center with retractable roof. There are also classes and sporting teams for parents and teens as well as family campouts.
