Locations
Just off of route 40, the YMCA Bear-Glasgow facility includes countless amounts of opportunities for activities ranging from a sizeable soccer field and outdoor pool with slides to a dance room and a typical gym room with a variety of workout equipment.
Currently, we are only based at the YMCA Bear-Glasgow location, but we are continuously looking to partner with other YMCA locations to expand our program to give the opportunity to more people in the community.
