Adventure Guides

Grades K - 4

This program is one of the oldest and most popular programs in the YMCA. Designed to strengthen and enrich the father/child relationship through group activities and camping trips. As YMCA Adventure Guides, fathers and kids will be members of Circles. "Circle" activities will include games, camping trips, ceremonies and adventures with other parents and children. Conducting group exercises in the Circle fosters leadership, problem solving, group work skill and a sense of commitment to larger community - all of which reinforce the YMCA's pledge to build strong kids, strong families and strong communities. You will also participate in larger scale activities such as weekend campouts, parties or parades.

First Time Fee: $40 per year/ child (no charge for member fathers)

Returning Fee: $25 per year/ child (no charge for member fathers)
