Family Programs

During their elementary school years, children become much more aware of the world around them and ask questions about who they are, where they came from, and why things are as they are.  During this time, children tend to see their parents as guides, teachers, and heroes, and as such, parents strive to invite their children to accept challenges and opportunities, celebrate accomplishments, and face fears.

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.
