“The goal is to encourage kids to stay physically and mentally active as we head into the summer months,” says Kara Kaplan, the Miller Y’s aquatics director. “It’s important to show kids that it’s much more fun to stay active instead of sitting in front of the television or playing computer games.”
The Miller Family YMCA of Newbury Park is at 320 Via Las Brisas in Dos Vientos. For more information, call the Miller Y at 805-480-0309 or email Kara Kaplan at KKaplan@sevymca.org.
