Suffolk Family YMCA
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 Suffolk Family YMCA include:

  • ChildWatch: Babysitting while you work out for family members
  • 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 is offered twice each month on Saturdays. Members may register for one session per month.
  • Birthday Parties
  • Monthly Events
  • 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
an Open Doors financial assistance application.
