The Cadillac Area YMCA is dedicated to building a healthy, vital and caring community through enrichment and developmental programs for all. Since the fall of 2002 we have done this by offering approximately 30 different programs in areas such as health and fitness, aquatics, gymnastic, youth sports, summer camp, the arts and a teen center. We offer activities for all age groups from preschoolers to senior citizens, as well as for the whole family to participate together. We are interested in community partnership and currently have a cooperative agreement with the Cadillac Area Public Schools to run Camp Torenta. We coordinate the community Love and Logic program. From January of 2004 through June of 2005 we also partnered with Wexford County to manage the Wex – which set that facility on a course of future success.

The goals, objectives, and programs of the YMCA positively impact community priorities as identified in the Cadillac Area Needs Assessment(CANA); especially in areas of Children & Family and Healthy Lifestyles. Our goals also match needs of youth identified in the 2005 Youth Advisory Committee’s study of teen needs.
