Family programs are important to us here at the YMCA. The family is essential to the YMCA because they reinforce what we teach; Honesty, Caring, Respect and Responsibiliy. These are the four core values that make us an important and essential to member to the community.
Special family times in the gym on Fridays at the YMCA. Pre-school equipment, bats, hockey sticks, kick balls and rings will be taken out each Friday and our Rockwall will be open for families to enjoy. Join our Friday night Staff person for games and activities. Look for special events on these nights that will be posted on our Family Bulletin Board in the back hallway.
Special family time in the gym & pool will be designated on Sunday afternoons this Winter.
