Programs & Schedules: Parent/Child

Y-Adventure Guides | Family Skate Night

Y–ADVENTURE GUIDES

Time is a problem for most families, especially single parent families or where both parents work. The YMCA has designed its parent/child programs with boys and girls in kindergarten though third grades and their parents in mind. The emphasis is on spending quality time together! Get involved with a group that seeks new experiences and adventures, learns new skills and provides an atmosphere in which you can grow with your child. Neighborhood groups are formed and meet monthly in members’ homes. Activities include crafts, games and values training. Often the groups plan outings, field trips and camp-outs both in the area as well as all over the state. These programs set aside a “special time” for the parent and child to learn from each other and to develop a foundation and communication that can steady the child through the difficult years of growing up.
