YMCA Adventure Guides is a parent-child program designed to help foster a lifetime of understanding and companionship and to strengthen the relationship between children and parents. As “Y Guides” and “Y Explorers,” parents and kids explore adventures in fun, learning and mutual understanding.

Who participates?

YMCA Adventure Guides is for parents or other significant adults in children’s lives and their children, ages 5 through 9. An adult and child attend all the program activities together.

How to get involved

This program relies heavily on the dedicated work of parent volunteers to make this one of the YMCA's strongest leadership and volunteer development programs. Currently, we have nearly 2,088 adults and children involved in the program, which is offered at the West Park, Ridgewood, Southeast, Lakewood, West Shore, Hillcrest and Geauga YMCAs.
