Families today are pulled in many directions. Time and money are at a premium, with an increasing number of families trying to do more with fewer resources. Kids have increasingly complex school and extracurricular schedules as well. YMCA family programs seek to strengthen family ties, instill core values and provide families with worry-free, fun activities to do together. Offered in a nurturing and supportive environment, YMCA family programs help to provide a foundation of positive communication, teach positive parenting, mutual respect and create fond memories.

Adventure Guides

The YMCA Adventure Guides program assists 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 parent and their child to communicate at an early age in caring, honest, respectful and responsible ways.
The Adventure Guide Program does not have to be for just one parent and child, but may include the entire family unit. Typical activities 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.
