The purpose of the YMCA Adventure Guides program (formerly Indian Guides) is to foster communication, understanding and companionship between parent and child through the teaching of values, attitudes, fitness and health, knowledge and ethics.
The YMCA Adventure Guides Program helps develop positive relationships between parents and children. Circles are generally formed around school or neighborhood groupings with six to ten parent/child couples or families. Individual circles meet monthly, September through June. Combined events for all circles will be held throughout the year. These events include camp-outs, sporting events and fundraising events for the YMCA Partners of Youth program.
Under the guidance of their fathers, kids have the freedom to explore their interests in a creative and imaginative way: no tests to pass. Regular meetings combine ceremony, scouting reports and a program which includes crafts, games, or storytelling. The central theme of the program is youth development and to help promote a positive and lasting relationship between fathers and children. This program is for students ages 6-9.
