The YMCA Homeschool Program is taught by our trained staff and includes a variety of youth programming for children who are home schooled; including swim lessons and sports, and is made available at times most convenient for homeschoolers. Homeschool program participants will improve their strength, endurance, coordination, balance, and energy levels with age-appropriate activities, sports, and games.

This program is offered in eight-week sessions at our Mattoon facility. The class will be split into two 45-minute sections, which includes time to change clothes into the proper attire. We encourage the parents and/or caregivers to work out and attend fitness classes within our facility while their children participate in our homeschool program. Children must be 5 years of age by September 5th of calendar year to enroll. Program participants will be divided into two or three smaller age or ability-based groups, as needed. Space is limited and registration is on a first come first serve basis.
