Family Night, Camp Sign-up, & Teens Dancing


 
FAMILY NIGHT AND CAMP SIGNUP

The Grand Traverse Bay YMCA hosts its last in a series of Family Night’s for the school year in May.

On Friday, May 6, the family night will also be a Summer Day Camp Registration Night to allow parents to sign up their children for camp. There is going to be 12 weeks of camp beginning June 13 for ages 3 ½ to grade 9. These include age appropriate activities both indoors and outdoors. Our camps provide fun, friends, 40 acres of woods and based on the Y 4-core values of Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility. The registration fee of $25 will be waved this night if parents register.

Besides camp sign-up we will have the facility and food for families. The family night begins at 6 pm at the Grand Traverse Bay YMCA main facility at 3000 Racquet Club Drive just south of S. Airport Road. Our next family night will be on Friday, May 20, 6:00 pm at the Y Early Childhood Center, 1100 Woodmere STE B in Traverse City.

More information is available at our website at www.gtbayymca.org or Katie Winslow, camp supervisor at 231-933-9622.


Y TEEN DANCE

Our monthly Y Teen Dance for grades 6 – 8 will be held on Saturday, May 7, from 7 pm – 10 pm. The dance will be held at the YMCA’s main facility at 3000 Racquet Club Drive, just south of South Airport Road, in Traverse City.

If you are not one of the 300 teens that regularly attend our Teen Dance events, you are missing out! Here's a great opportunity to get together with old friends, or meet tons of new ones, on a Saturday night.

Dance to the tunes of a professional DJ, shoot hoops, or play table games. Come socialize with hundreds of your friends and have a great time! Don't miss it!

Parents always welcome to chaperone.

Admission is $8.00 with student ID. Identification, proper attire, and conduct are required. YMCA members are free. Next dance will be held on August 5 (with no dances in June and July).

For more information at adult volunteer opportunities contact Katie Winslow at camp@gtbayymca.org or 231-933-9622. The Grand Traverse Bay YMCA website is located at www.gtbayymca.org and has a Facebook page and Twitter account.

The Y is for youth development. The Grand Traverse Bay YMCA provides a safe environment for teens to learn the proper values based conduct at teen dances.
