DUNELAND YMCA

FAMILY ACTIVITIES

In our Y programs, we are here to make kids feel welcome. To help them quickly realize this is a place where they belong and can be themselves, try new things, make new friends, and be a part of something great. They will thrive knowing they can relax in a safe, nurturing and inclusive environment.

We are here to create experiences that immerse them in an atmosphere that inspires guiding them to live healthy, help others, and work together making strong friendships.

The Y is here to help them flourish socially, emotionally, cognitively, and physically. Rooted in our Core Values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility.
