Adventure Guides

Established more than 70 years ago, the YMCA’s Adventure Guide programs are designed to foster a lifetime of companionship between parents and their children. This program specifically encourages fathers and their children to spend uninterrupted time together as members of a larger group, building lifelong memories and bonds. Our Y-Guide programs emulate the YMCA’s core values – caring, honesty, respectful, and responsibility. The YMCA encourages today’s fathers to “get to know your kid while your kid is still a kid.”

As a member of YMCA Adventure Guides, you will have the opportunity to develop a stronger relationship with your child by joining a unique “Circle” with whom you’ll participate in activities like games, camping trips, ceremonies and family adventures.  You and your child will take a journey around  the Adventure Guide compass points – family, nature, community and fun. The YMCA character development values – Respect, Responsibility, Caring, Fairness, Trustworthiness, and Citizenship - provide a sense of direction and inspiration for activities.  As a Y-Guide member, you will be able to participate in larger scale activities such as weekend camp outs, parties or parades.  Conducting group exercises in the Circle fosters leadership, problem-solving, group work skills 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.
