EXCITING SCHEDULE CHANGES

At the Y, we are continually working to improve your experience as members while running a fiscally responsible organization. To that end, you may have noticed some recent changes to our schedules; we hope you find the larger print and style easier to read so you can find your favorite classes more quickly.   

In this electronic age, we decided it is time we take full advantage of the lower cost of delivering YMCA program information to you. In the past we have mailed the Program Guide and Schedules directly to your home. Now you will find them on your home-branch YMCA's web page under the Schedules Section and, if you still like the convenience of a printed copy, you can pick up a printed copy of your Y Schedules at your YMCA's Welcome Center. Please let us know how this works for you by taking our poll.   

More exciting changes are coming! We are developing a new website that will be mobile-device friendly. The new site also takes advantage of technology that makes it quicker and easier to find classes and register for Y programs!

We hope you will like the changes!

Remember to stay active during our closure by visiting our fellow YMCAs such as the Middlesex Family YMCA, the Northumberland Family YMCA and the Richmond County Family YMCA.
 
GET YOUR MUD ON

KEKOKA MUD RUN
Saturday September 14


This is a seriously fun 5K run with obstacles!!! Test your mental and physical toughness at the Kekoka Mud Run being held on the grounds of YMCA Camp Kekoka in Kilmarnock. All runners get an awesome shirt and a one of a kind challenge coin to show off to your friends who decided not to do the run. Trust us...they will wish they had one. This run is for adults 18 and older.  Check in starts at 8am, run starts at 10 am Sept. 14. Register online or in person at the Y.

 

Cost: $30 until Aug. 15, $40 after Aug. 15, $50 day of race 

BRIGHT BEGINNINGS

Bright Beginnings ensures that children in need are able to start the school year off right with new school supplies, shoes, clothes, and confidence. We are increasing our goal this year to serve 100 deserving children, by helping them shop for back to school clothes and supplies.

 

You can help!

  • Our goal is $15,000; we need $1,275 to meet our goal. You can sponsor a child for $150 but a donation of any amount will help!
  • You can also donate school supplies.
  • Volunteer to shop with a child!

We will be shopping August 20, 22, & 23.

Call Donna Mcgrath at 435-0223 to donate or volunteer.
