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 Taylor Bend Family YMCA include:

ChildWatch: Babysitting while you work out for family members
Family Nights
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 held the second Saturday of each month.
Interactive Zone: Enjoy an exhilarating, full-body workout while playing video games! Cateye gamebikes, Kilowatt stations, Cybex Trazers and the SportWall offer 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.
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
