Happy birthday to our member, Taland! Thanks for spending your special day at the Y! 🎉🤩

🏊‍♂️ 𝙋𝙤𝙤𝙡 𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙚! 🏊‍♀️

To promote training and team development for lifeguards, the pool will CLOSE at 1:00pm on Saturday, July 18 for the Lifeguard Games. Our pool will reopen on 7/19.

What a fun and creative week we had bringing the world of movies to life! Our campers stepped into the spotlight by designing their own movie posters, creating comic strips, and even learning how movie sound effects are made. 🎥🎨🎧

The excitement didn’t stop there! We had two awesome field trips this week—Dyer Park Challenge and the Camp Triangle Hills of Crossroads YMCA Association Challenger—where campers worked together, built confidence, and had a blast taking on new adventures. 🌳💪And we can't stop talking about our Pie in the Face event! Campers got the chance to pie their counselors in the face for a great cause, helping raise funds for our income-based assistance program, which helps ensure access to the Y for ALL. 💙

We love seeing their creativity shine and can’t wait for more fun ahead! 🌟

🥧😋 A Sweet Day at Camp! 😋🥧

Our campers had a blast at this week's annual Pie in the Face event! 🎉 Campers got the chance to pie their counselors in the face for a great cause.

There were plenty of laughs, a lot of whipped cream, and memories made that will last all summer. Our counselors were such good sports, and the smiles on everyone's faces said it all! 😂👏

Thank you to everyone who participated and helped raise funds for our income-based assistance program, which helps ensure access for ALL to the Y. A mess was made, fun was had, and together we're making a difference!💙🌟
