2008-2009 Season Information



Share the journey through YMCA Adventure Guides.

Adventure Guides enables you to get to know your child through fun and organized activities. This program includes a strong emphasis on the parent and child doing activities together, earning patches that reflect the Adventure Guides themes, selecting unique names and emphasizing volunteer participation and leadership. Here's the premise:

Symbols used in the program include a compass with four main directional points:
  • The Family is True North­ the focal point of the program
  • Nature and the camping experience are an integral part of the program
  • Program spirit is experienced by belonging to a small Community called a Circle
  • Fun is the magic of the program 
The other points of the compass are the YMCA values of Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility.

As YMCA Adventure Guides, parents and kids will be members of Circles. "Circle" activities will include games and adventures with other parents and children. Conducting group exercises in the Circle fosters leadership, problem solving, group work skill and a sense of commitment to larger community.
