FAMILY TIME


 

PLAY TOGETHER, STAY TOGETHER

Family time at the Y is about giving families as a unit, and as individuals, the opportunities to deepen relationships, develop new skills and interests, improve their health and well-being, and connect to the community. The Y has always been a place where families can play and be active together, and that’s more important than ever. Whether the activities are physical like sports or exercise classes, or more recreational like swimming, camping, cooking and arts, we want families doing them together because you’ll live healthier and make memories for a lifetime.


Youth & Family Areas

The Y has three areas dedicated solely for usage by our youth and their families. Supervised hours listed are for the school year.


Toddler Gym

The Toddler Gym is geared towards ages birth to seven years and contains a play set with slide, large foam blocks for building, a balance and play structure and crawling tunnels. The Toddler Gym is currently open for use by members at any time during the day. In order to utilize this space, all members have to do is stop by the Front Desk and pick up a key for entry. Children in the Toddler Gym must be supervised at all times and the Y asks that you please respect the age limits in this space to help ensure the safety of our youngest members.
