Firefly is a grant-awarded fun and exciting program at the Warren County YMCA for adults with intellectual disabilities. Firefly has a goal of getting our participants to have healthy lifestyles and social interactions with the community. Staff is trained and has experience in working with Firefly participants. Firefly classes range from indoor and outdoor activities and will change based on group requests. This program is geared for individuals, along with their aide and/or family members. This program will be offered FREE because of the Edith L Trees Trust grant. Pre-registration is required. Please register at the Y Front Welcome Desk during registration dates. Must register prior to the start of each 5 week session. Firefly participants also receive a YMCA membership.
