Event – Parent’s Night Out

Kids will love this special evening planned just for them! Parents Night Out, (really kid’s night out!) gives your kids a night filled with fun activities, group games, crafts, and pizza. This is the perfect opportunity for your potty trained children to have a fun time with new friends while you run errands, go on a date, or take some time for yourself!

Your children will enjoy a unique program with dependable, qualified, and caring staff in age-appropriate groups. So go do what you need to do, and know your kids are having a blast!

Who: All ages, child MUST be potty-trained
Where: YMCA Community Room A

Registration closes Thursday, June 8

This is a FREE, supervised space where activities are geared towards kids in 5th-12th grades, but we do welcome younger children if they are accompanied by an adult. Children and adults must check-in with the attendant upon arrival. Participation in this program means access to homework help, a snack, open gym time, and weekly activities. As our program continues to develop, we will be able to offer so much more!

TC Open swim for 10+ only: Children 10-13 will have to take a swimming test to see if they can be in the water without a parent. If they do not pass, Teen Center Staff will NOT be in the water with them, therefore will not be able to swim without a parent. 14+ can be unaccompanied, HOWEVER if the lifeguard notices that they are not strong swimmers they may be asked to leave or have
an adult join them. Be sure to check in at the Y/T Center by 5:55pm if you plan to go to Open Gym time.

Join the Youth/Teen Center in helping clean up the outside grounds of the YMCA. Anyone who helps for at least 20 minutes will get to join us for special treats!
