Play Together, Stay Together

For Christine, the Y is the center of her family’s life when they aren’t at work and school. Every night is ‘family night’ when they go to the Y, whether they have organized activities or not. It's about meeting new people, and spending quality time with her family.

For Christine, the Y is the center of her family’s life when they aren’t at work and school. Every night is ‘family night’ when they go to the Y, whether they have organized activities or not. It's about meeting new people, and spending quality time with her family.

Family time at the Y is about giving families as a unit, and as individuals, the opportunities to deepen relationships, develop new skills and interests, improve their health and well-being, and connect to the community.




Family Nights

Allow families a time and a place to come together to have a good time; participate in a variety of fun activities; share, communicate and strengthen their relationships; and meet other families. They are usually scheduled for a weekend evening and can be either structured or free-flowing. Activities include mixers, pool games, arts and crafts, family fitness, games, volunteer opportunities and family discussions over refreshments.




Adventure Guides

Adventure Guides programs launch parents and their children on a journey of discovery, with the child as the explorer and the parent as the guide. Adventure Guides encourages parents to get to know your kid while your kid is still a kid with group activities such as games, crafts, songs, stories, skits, ceremonies, and outdoor pursuits such as camping, hiking and swimming.  The one-on-one time in a fun, special environment builds important bonds through shared experiences.





Family Wellness/Nutrition and Recreation

The Y has always been a place where families can play and be active together, and that’s more important than ever. Whether the activities are physical like sports or exercise classes, or more recreational like swimming, camping, cooking and arts, Ys want families doing them together because you’ll live healthier and make memories for a lifetime.
