2013-2014 Y Guide & Princess Registration
Registration for the 2013-2014 Y Guide & Princess program is available. It is a father/daughter and father/son program for families with kids in grades K-4.
The Y-Guide/Princess program aims to instill closer family relationships between parents and children. Our program fosters togetherness by doing fun things, such as crafts, hiking, outings, stories, games and hobbies. In the process, participants get to know and understand each other better. Parents become more aware of their children's needs, and at the same time children are provided with the important adult role models so necessary to their development. The parents and youngsters join and participate together in small groups called tribes.
Join us at Kiwanis Park from 6-7:30 p.m., Sept. 12, as the YMCA kicks off another great year of YG&P. The free event is open to all tribes.
