Cadillac YMCA Receives Grant

CADILLAC – The Cadillac Area YMCA announced that it has been awarded $ 40,000 by the Michigan Department of Education to provide summer learning opportunities for children in summer programs.

“This grant support enables us to provide deeper focus and additional resources to this important effort. For many children, summer camp is a unique and inspiring environment. It is a great development support to complement their family and school environment, ”said Mike Kelso, executive director of Cadillac Area YMCA, in a press release.

The YMCA’s summer programs focus on fun and keeping children safe, active, fed, and engaged with other children. Support from the Michigan Department of Education enables Y’s to offer traditional camp programs that are enhanced to meet the unique academic needs created by the pandemic.

The Cadillac Area YMCA is still accepting registrations for these programs. To register, visit www.cadillacareaymca.org.
