June
As a family wellness and community organization we open our
doors and invite the community to see what we’re all about. This
is a great opportunity to get to know all the Y has to offer and
maybe try something new.
Summer kicks off with our Summer Camp Programs: Day Camps,
Sports Camps, Specialty Camps, and Resident Camps make up
what the YMCA does best. Registration starts in March so be
sure to make it out to our Camp Registration Carnival.
OPEN HOUSE
SUMMER CAMP STARTS
February
July
Our annual fund-raising campaign is a joint effort between staff
and volunteers who come together to raise funds which help
support community families, seniors and individuals by providing
them financial assistance. Financial assistance helps provide an
opportunity to participate in child care, camps, aquatics, youth
sports and memberships. Campaign funds are also used to
subsidize programs to make them affordable to everyone.
Come away with the Y! Week long camps set in beautiful
locations where campers share cabins with friends and make
lasting memories. Activities include archery, dances, swimming,
hiking, crafts, rock wall climbing, campfires, the Y Rags and
Leather program and more. Sign your child up for a life changing
experience!
