Many families in Clinton are familiar with the Clinton YMCA's before and after-school program Y-Zone and many of those families are likely aware of Y-Zone Extreme for days when school is not in session but parents have to be at work.

Executive Director Rennie Cluver indicates Y-Zone is not exclusive to members of the Y and there is the non-profit before and after school program. This year, there were some changes they implemented for Y-Zone locations, which he says has worked out well.

Y-Zone extreme is for days when school is not in session but parents still need to be at work. Cluver indicates they have added Y-Zone Emergency to their offerings which would allow students a place to be when the weather forces the cancellation of school.

With wintry weather coming this week and likely still to come this winter, Cluver hopes families will consider the Y for their kids and touts the environment kids will be a part of.
