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 Mt. Trashmore Family YMCA include:

  • Parents' Night Out: This program allows parents to enjoy a night out on the town while their children have fun at YMCA supervised activities and enjoy pizza and drinks. PNO is the fourth Friday of each month, 6:30 - 9 pm. Registration is required; sign up the Sunday before at the Member Services desk or online.
  • Birthday Parties
  • Special Events
  • Interactive Zone: An investment of $375,000 in new interactive equipment is sure to offer YMCA members an exhilarating, full-body workout while playing video games! More than just a computer that makes you sweat, the equipment offers something for everyone from simulated interaction training for athletes, to keeping youth and teens active and excited about fitness, to mental and physical coordination exercises for older adults and rehabilitation patients.
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
