YMCA of Elkhart County

For Healthy Living
Being healthy means more than simply being physically active. It’s about maintaining a balanced spirit, mind and body. The Y is a place where you can work toward that balance by challenging yourself to learn a new skill or hobby, fostering connections with friends through our lifelong learning programs, or bringing your loved ones closer together through our many family-centered activities. At the Y, it’s not about the activity you choose as much as it is about the benefits of living healthier on the inside as well as the outside.



Family Time


Our Y brings families together to have fun and grow together. Facing challenging economic times and soaring fuel prices has many families looking for creative, cost-saving alternatives for enjoying summer vacation. But great family memories and fun, physical activity doesn’t have to break the bank. The YMCA of Elkhart County offers ideas for family fun that focuses on physical well being and building family connections.
