Youth & Family / Adventure Guides

Your Next
Family Adventure

Families create priceless memories together over campfires, shared laughs, and quality time in the great outdoors.

What to Expect

Adventure Guides is rooted in the Y’s belief that when parents and kids spend intentional time together, it builds stronger bonds that last a lifetime. This program creates space for families to connect through shared adventures—like campouts, songs, crafts, stories, and outdoor activities. It’s a chance to really know your kid while your kid is still a kid—and to make memories that stick.

Sign up for our next getaway here. We can’t wait to see you out there!

For more information contact your local Y or email Jennifer Sullivan at JenniferSullivan@ymcaLA.org.
