YMCA Celebration Of Centennial Year
In 2023, the Westfield Area YMCA celebrates its 100th anniversary of service to the community. The Y will kick off the celebration with special hours on New Year’s Day from 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. A limited-edition commemorative 100th-anniversary long-sleeve workout shirt will be distributed to current and new members for the first few months of the year, while supplies last. Centennial celebration events and activities will be announced throughout 2023.
Summer Day Camp and Child Care Open Houses will be held on Saturday, January 7 from 10 a.m. to Noon. This summer’s theme is “History in the Making” as the Y provides an opportunity for campers ages 3-15 to express themselves, try new activities, learn new skills, make new friends, be creative, and have a blast! Summer Camp Open Houses will be held at the Main Y Facility, 220 Clark Street, and the Garwood Family Center Y, 500 East Street. Camps are ACA-accredited and located in Cranford, Garwood, Mountainside, and Westfield. Full and half-day traditional, sports, S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) and leadership development camps are available by the week or all summer long. Camp Early Bird registration begins on January 2 and ends on January 31. Child Care Open Houses will be held at the Bauer Branch YMCA, 422 East Broad Street; Early Learning Center YMCA, 170 Elm Street; and Garwood Family Center YMCA, 500 East Street. Registration for full-day child care, half- and full-day preschool, full-day Kindergarten, and Kindergarten Wraparound will be available for the 2023-2024 school year.
