ADVENTURE GUIDES

Explore Life Together.

Adventure Guides programs launch parents and their children on a journey of discovery, with the child as the explorer and the parent as the guide.

By providing opportunities and resources for parents to spend one-on-one time in a fun, special environment, Adventure Guides build important bonds through shared experiences.

We have designed the YMCA Adventure Guides program to assist you and your child on your journey of discovery. While activities with the whole family are important, we see tremendous value in supporting and strengthening the ability of a parent and his or her child to communicate at an early age in ways that are caring, honest, respectful, and responsible. We seek to encourage you as a parent to “get to know your kid while your kid is still a kid.”

The program is designed for one parent and one child to participate together for most activities. If this dynamic is not practical for your family or others in your group, be flexible and work with your YMCA leaders to develop a structure within the program that works for you.
