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 first and second Saturday of each month.
- Interactive Zone: The YMCA takes working out to the next level. Step into a virtual world of fitness in the Interactive Zone. Youth can play video games with friends while being engaged in physical activity on NEW Expresso bikes. Families can race one another, pedaling side by side, while following a visual of their course. Or, check out the NEW Xerdance, which provides the perfect platform for individuals or groups to perform dance steps in unison with the onscreen instruction. At the YMCA, getting fit has never been so fun!
- Birthday Parties
- Special Events
