The Greater Joliet Area YMCA has been serving families from throughout Will County and its surrounding areas since 1926. The mission of the YMCA is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all. The leadership team includes James Wagner, Youth and Family Director and Camp Director. One testimonial from James states, "I'm so excited to see all the campers arrive each day and it is truly inspiring to see each child's growth over the course of a summer. The Y is an amazing place to help kids thrive."
