LIVESTRONG at the YMCA Classes

LIVESTRONG at the YMCA is a no-cost, 12-week program designed for cancer survivors and their families seeking to regain health, build strength, and connect with other cancer survivors. Participants work with staff trained in supportive cancer care to safely achieve goals such as building muscle mass & strength, increasing flexibility & endurance, and improving confidence & self-esteem. By focusing on the whole person and not the disease, LIVESTRONG at the YMCA is helping people move beyond cancer in spirit, mind and body. The program meets twice a week for 90 minutes, using traditional exercise methods to ease you back into fitness and help participants improve confidence and self-esteem.

A cancer survivor is defined as anyone who has been diagnosed with a form of cancer in their lifetime.

Build Confidence & Play This Summer

Summer Registration Is Open!
Classes run June 22 – August 23

REGISTER TODAY

.

At the Y, summer is more than fun—it’s a season for growth, confidence, and lifelong skills. From the pool to the gym and everywhere in between, our summer classes help kids try new things, stay active, and feel strong doing it.

Whether your child is splashing in the water for the first time or discovering a new favorite sport, we’re here to help them thrive—all summer long.

Our summer classes are designed to keep kids moving, learning, and smiling:

Swim Lessons & Swim Intramurals – Build confidence, strength, and essential water safety skills
Gymnastics – Balance, coordination, and confidence in every flip and climb
Sports Programs – Skill-building, teamwork, and positive competition
Dance & Fitness – Energy, expression, and movement that feels like fun

Programs are led by supportive YMCA staff who focus on encouragement, safety, and helping every child feel successful. Our summer session lasts 9 weeks, but we know many families travel during the summer. To keep things flexible, we charge summer program rates for just 7 weeks instead of the full 9.

National Water Safety Month | May
Phones down. Eyes up.™

Checking your phone can turn into a dangerous distraction—especially around water. We encourage families to always assign a Water Watcher: an adult whose only job is keeping eyes on children near the pool or waterfront.

Strong swimmers are safer swimmers—and learning starts here.

Make this the summer they grow.

Explore our full schedule of summer classes and find the right fit for your child. Spots fill quickly—jump in today.

Join Us for the 2026 Hockomock Area YMCA Golf Classic

A Day on the Green, A Gift to Our Community

There’s something special about a September morning on the course—the quiet anticipation at check-in, the first swings of the day, and the shared laughter that carries across the fairways. At the Hockomock Area YMCA Golf Classic, that sense of connection is matched by something even more powerful: a shared commitment to caring for our neighbors.

On Monday, September 14, 2026, we invite you to join us at the beautiful Wentworth Hills Country Club in Plainville, MA, for a day that blends camaraderie, competition, and community impact. Whether you’re a returning golfer or joining us for the first time, this is a day designed to be both memorable and meaningful.

REGISTER TO GOLF

More Than a Round of Golf

From the moment you arrive, you’ll be welcomed with a continental breakfast, setting the tone for a relaxed and engaging day. Golfers will take to the course with a 9:00 a.m. shotgun start, enjoying a thoughtfully curated experience that includes themed holes, complimentary food, and refreshing beverages along the way.

As the round concludes, we’ll gather together for a buffet lunch and awards celebration, sharing stories from the day and applauding the spirit of friendly competition.

Fueling More Than the Game

At the heart of the Golf Classic is a mission that extends far beyond the course. Every swing and every sponsorship supports the YMCA’s Food Access Programs, which help ensure that individuals and families across our community have reliable access to healthy, nourishing meals.

It’s a powerful reminder that when we come together—even for something as simple as a day of golf—we can help create lasting change.

Event Schedule

8:00 a.m. – Check-in, registration, and breakfast
9:00 a.m. – Shotgun start
2:30 p.m. – Lunch and awards

Get Involved

There are many ways to be part of this special day:

Register to golf and enjoy a memorable experience on the course
Become a sponsor and align your name with meaningful community impact
Invite colleagues, clients, or friends to join you for a day of connection and purpose
