Teen and Family Programs

The Y offers a safe environment where parents and children can communicate, cooperate and care for each other. Special events and family nights provide a forum for spending valuable time together in a welcoming environment. 

Serving families has always been at the heart of YMCA work. As the needs of families change and become more complex, many Ys are assuming a greater role in helping families navigate social, economic and educational challenges. YMCA programs differ from neighborhood to neighborhood, but the fundamentals remain consistent nationwide – YMCA programs and services are designed to ensure that every family can build stronger bonds, achieve greater work/life balance, and become more engaged with their community. The support provided by YMCAs helps families learn, grow and thrive --- together.

Current Family Programs Include:

Family Fun Nights - Spend quality time with your family at the YMCA! Activities include family board games, competitions, arts & crafts, movies, swimming, dinner and more!

Working parents get peace of mind and the knowledge that their children are well-cared for in our values-based program.

Families also get the opportunity to enjoy each other in our special family events, and find the time to reconnect and re-establish their own values during time away at YMCA Trout Lodge.

At the Emerson Family YMCA we have a variety of activities for families to play and learn together as well as events to bring commuity resources to our members and surrounding community
