September 12 – October 10, 2026
The YMCA of Delaware is proud to bring back Let’s Move Delaware, a statewide movement inspiring people to get active, have fun and live healthier! From September 12 through October 10, 2026, YMCA locations across the state will host a series of events, activities and wellness opportunities designed to get youth, adults, families and seniors moving.
At the YMCA, healthy living is about more than a workout. From group exercise and personal training to community health programs, we provide opportunities for all ages and abilities to move more, feel better and connect with others.
Join the movement! Explore our growing list of Let’s Move Delaware events and activities below.
