Are you a knitting expert? A pickleball master? A friendship bracelet fiend? Come share your passion with kids at Kids Stuff Saturday Small Groups.
Kids Stuff at the New Hope YMCA is a drop-in care program for kids aged 0-10 years while their families utilize our facility. These Saturday Small Groups are designed to give a group of 8-12 of our older kids (7-10 years) special time to focus on particular topics of interest. Past groups have been Board Game Buddies, Fitness 4 Kids, and Chess Club to name a few. Work with the supervisor to create your own hour-long session to bring your unique talents to a new generation!
