Parent-Child/Adventure Guides

‌The YMCA Adventure Guides program is designed to assist the parent and child on a journey of discovery. While activities with the whole family are important, we see tremendous value in supporting and strengthening the ability of a father and his child to communicate at an early age in ways that are caring, honest, respectful, and responsible. The Adventure Guide Program does not have to be for just one parent and child, but may include the entire family unit. Typical activities that the Adventure Guides take part in include games, crafts, songs, stories, skits and outdoor pursuits, such as camping, hiking and swimming. The program is for school-age children.

Program Components: Father/Son or Father/Daughter pairs are formed into groups (known as Circles), based on school and/or neighborhood proximity. Each Circle selects officers and proceeds with a year of fun-filled experiences with guidance and assistance from monthly leadership meetings held by the YMCA Parent Child Program Director (known as the Outfitter).

Circles meet one to two nights a month for hour long meetings, on nights convenient with Dads of the Circle. Meetings are typically rotated between member’s houses and include various projects and activities. Monthly Expeditions such as camping trips, dances, and Pinewood Derby races that include all program participants are organized through the YMCA.
