- YMCA CEO Steve Tarver says the organization is focusing on “an initiative to get people more active outdoors” as part of a celebration of the 100th anniversary of the national parks system. The YMCA is working with partner organizations, like Metro Parks, to promote activity in the great outdoors through social marketing and improved trail maintenance.
- In its youth programs, the YMCA is “being more intentional about making 30 to 60 minutes of vigorous activity each day a standard programming expectation,” Tarver says.
- The YMCA offers three outdoor camp spaces for youth to continue “encouraging our children to become unplugged,” Tarver says. They include Cedar Ridge in Southeastern Jefferson County, Kentucky; Camp Piomingo in Brandenburg, Kentucky; and Camp Honor Bright in Floyd County, Indiana.
