From the Aquatics Department

The start of summer in New England, a time when many head out to enjoy water recreational activities as a way to cool off during the hotter summer months, is a great time to brush up on water safety for the whole family. Summer Swim Lessons are currently available through August 26th. Please contact our Aquatics Department for more information at 617-244-6050 x3650.
We're Hiring!
The Aquatics Department is currently hiring Lifeguards, Swim Instructors and Swim Coaches! Please contact Amanda Pierce for more information.

Looking for a Summer Adventure? Sign Up for Adventure Camp at Frank A. Day!
Our overnight camp, Camp Frank A. Day, offers a one-week Adventure Camp from August 13-19. Adventure Week campers go hiking, canoeing and camping around our camp grounds and the local lakes region while learning outdoor skills. Special trips include ropes course team building at Project Adventure, where campers bond as a team and support each other through high and low ropes course elements with one of the industry leaders in ropes course programming. Adventure-In, Adventure-Out will be on site to practice outdoor skills, play games and construct boats and shelters with the team as they prepare for the culminating trip at Boda-Borg. At Boda-Borg guests are transported into a real-world gaming environment; an experience they call Questing. This is completely live action, no video games or virtual reality. The trip is designed to use all the bonding, trust and adventure skills the campers gained throughout the week to challenge them as a team both physically and mentally. If your child is looking for an experience unlike any other—then Adventure Camp with Frank A. Day is that program!
For more information, contact Camping Services.

Exciting Programs for Teens Launching this Fall
|
This Fall, the Y will offer drop-in programs for local teens. Our revamped Teen Center will provide weekly programs as well as special events that encourage healthy living and creative expression for our teen members.
Youth and Government
The Youth and Government program is a nationally organized YMCA program providing teens the opportunity to participate in a model government. Participants, known as delegates, will work in their branch of interest (judicial, legislative, lobbyist branch, and press corps) to ultimately produce a piece of work in the form of a bill, legal brief or news article. Weekly sessions held at the WSYMCA will provide instruction and preparation leading up to the Pre-Legislative meetings that hosts delegations all throughout the Commonwealth. Pre-Legislative meetings held in October, November, January, and February will provide education and training for the delegates as they prepare for the three day Annual Conference held at the Massachusetts State House in March.
To participate in the Youth and Government program, or for more information, please contact Jeremy Smith.

Y-USA provides tips for creating a Healthy Family Home
|
|
At the Y, we are for healthy living. We believe it begins at home. The relationship between parent and child can be the primary source of health in a young person's life and a powerful motivator for adults to build more health into their own lives.
Healthy Family Home is an online resource for YMCA members with helpful information, tips and tools to support adults and families in their efforts to practice the art and science of healthy living. We invite you to join the growing communities of families working and playing their way toward a healthier tomorrow.
