PLAY HERE
At the Y, "play time" can de-stress, bring families closerPlay Here together, or fulfill the need for challenge and camaraderie. The ability to "play" seems to get lost as we age and mature, but is vital to our health and well-being. Invite your friends to play at the Y. If they join September 6-27, we'll waive their joining fee; families save $100!

EASIER PROGRAM SEARCH COMING

In an effort to make it easier for our members to find and register for programs we are making some updates to our online program search.

 

Beginning September 7th a new program search bar will replace the program list you may be familiar with. You'll simply type the name of the program or a program keyword and a list of options will appear. It's that easy! Nothing has changed in the actual program registration process, only the program search will be updated.

We hope this makes it easier and faster to find the programs you are looking for.

 

To register for programs online please visit our website. 

 

If you have any questions please contact Bobbi Montague at bobbi.montague@peninsulaymca.org.

JOURNEY TO FREEDOM

Journey to Freedom is an 8-week Christ-centered small group Journey to Freedomstudy designed to help you make a change in your life. A failure to lay a proper foundation for change is the number one reason people don't succeed in transforming their life. Journey to Freedom will help you build this critical foundation by providing tools, support and motivation you need to achieve significant and lasting change. 
 
Guided by Journey to Freedom's trained facilitators, you'll learn:

  • What is needed to make real change, and why your other attempts have failed.
  • How to lay the foundation to solve any problem and achieve any goal.
  • How to silence your inner critic and find your true purpose.
  • The difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation.

"I never realized how many people there were that shared the same issues. It's so freeing to be with others and share our experiences."

-Audrey


Classes begin the week of September 12, 2011. Please contact the Welcome Center desk or Lisa Weinreich at lisa.weinreich@peninsulaymca.org
