Family

The YMCA brings parents and children together for life enriching experiences. We believe the YMCA can help in strengthening relationships in families by providing fun and meaningful programs and activities. Time together as a family is valuable; the YMCA provides quality physical and social programs and activities, designed specifically for families. Family programs available at the Great Bridge/Hickory Family YMCA include:

  • Parents' Night Out: Why not let the kids enjoy a night out too? Feel confident knowing your children are happy and healthy while enjoying an array of activities with their peers. Parents' Night Out registration begins the Monday before the program. Pizza, swimming and a movie are provided.
  • Middle School Madness
  • Birthday Parties
  • Special Events
The YMCA is committed to providing programs that build a healthy spirit, mind and body for all. If you and
your family need financial assistance in paying fees for YMCA programs or membership, just ask! Download
