In a world where our to-do lists never seem to end, finding a moment to focus on wellness can feel like a luxury we don’t have time for. But you don’t have to wait for the weekend to find some time for yourself- we have some simple ways to incorporate wellness into your workday, no special gear or mountain retreat required. You might be surprised at the difference that 5 minutes a day can make. Here's how to get started.  

In the days after Halloween, parents often find themselves staring down a mountain of candy wondering- what now? How can you let your kids enjoy their Halloween haul without a week-long sugar rush? If you're looking for creative ways to enjoy the treats without going overboard, we have some tips & tricks that will help you manage the candy stash while keeping the Halloween magic alive.   

At the Oshkosh YMCA, we believe that food brings people together- and not just at the dinner table. World Food Day is October 16, and to honor the importance of food in our community, we're highlighting one of our most unique and impactful resources: the Y's Teaching Kitchen. Located at the Downtown Oshkosh YMCA, our Teaching Kitchen is a year-round hub for learning about food, nutrition, and culture, offering free recipes, cooking skills, and the opportunity to explore new flavors from around the world.

Lifeguarding at the Y isn't just a job- it's an opportunity to connect with others while serving the community. Our aquatics team is as invested in our members as they are in ensuring the safety of our pools, supporting their fitness and confidence while creating lasting bonds. Find out how this team is making waves in and out of the pool, and how you can be a part of it. 

At the Oshkosh YMCA, the fun isn’t just for the kids—adults can get in on the action, too! Whether you’re looking to reignite your competitive spirit or just want to stay active while having a great time, our adult sports leagues are designed for you.
