PARTNERS IN HEALING THE WHOLE PERSONCancer is a life-changing disease that takes a tremendous physical and emotional toll on those affected. The Y and LIVESTRONG® have joined together to create LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA, a research-based physical activity and well-being program designed to help adult cancer survivors reclaim their total health. Participants work with Y staff trained in supportive cancer care to achieve their goals, such as building muscle mass and strength; increasing flexibility and endurance; and improving confidence and self-esteem. In addition to physical benefits, LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA focuses on the emotional well-being of survivors and their families by providing a supportive community where people impacted by cancer can connect during treatment and beyond. By focusing on the whole person and not the disease, LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA helps people move beyond cancer in spirit, mind, and body. LIVESTRONG® at the YMCA is a twelve-week small group program designed for adult cancer survivors. It fulfills the important need of supporting the increasing number of cancer survivors who find themselves in the transitional period between completing their cancer treatment and the shift to feeling physically and emotionally strong enough to attempt to return to their regular daily activities.

• Free, 12-week Y membership.• Two 75-minute classes each week.• Small group setting (6-8 participants)• Full access to the YMCA facilities, including KidZone childcare services

OUR INSTRUCTORSOur instructors provide a supportive, safe environment for each class. Our certified instructors and personal trainers have undergone specialized training in the elements of cancer, post-rehab exercise, nutrition, and supportive cancer care.

“His father and I have to work full-time to support our family. Tommy is indoors by himself all day watching TV or playing video games.

To know that Tommy is learning new things and having new experiences in a great outdoor environment with other kids is a huge relief. Thank you.”

“Y summer camp helped our daughter come out of her shell! She is more independent and is more comfortable embracing new situations and people”

“For a few kids in my group whom come from a unhappy home situation, I see I am a role model. I get to demonstrate basic roles of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. It is awesome to know that camp is a happy place for those kids and that I am a part of that happy experience.”
