Get your Family Out of the House
With holiday festivities behind us and the cold of winter setting in, the month of January can feel never-ending. If your family is bouncing off the walls, we invite you to get out of the house and into our gyms, pools, art rooms, indoor playgrounds and pickleball courts for loads of family fun.

It's all part of our Open House events - coming to a YMCA near you between January 21 and 28. Your family can explore the facilities and amenities of the YMCA, receive a swim assessment, enjoy summer camp activities and preview new Monthly Programs.

Refocusing on Family-Friendly Fun
Monthly Programs will begin in March and will focus on helping children discover what they love. With offerings like tumbling, cooking, STEM, arts & humanities and more, kids ages 2-14 can try a new experience each month – while having fun.

“There are many other children’s sports and activities that become serious at early ages. So, we plan to offer something different - something focused on fun experiences. We want kids to enjoy being kids while building skills on their own terms – and at an affordable price for parents," explains Bridgette Barbera Byrne, Senior Association Director of Camp, Youth Sports and Family Programs. Monthly programming starts at just $24.99 per month for those with a YGBW family membership.

Be one of the first to experience our new Monthly Programs during our Open House events. Open House events are free and open to the public. Registration is required.
