Adventure Guides

The YMCA Guides and Princesses programs have been providing opportunities for fathers and their children to develop strong relationships through positive experiences since 1925.

The YMCA Adventure Guides and Adventure Princesses are father/child pairs who are grouped into Expeditions of from six to ten dads from the surrounding community. Expeditions meet monthly for a 90-minute meeting. Expeditions take part in monthly events, called Federation Events. Events include two campouts at YMCA Camp Greenville, Family Cookouts, a Father/Child Cake Bake/Chili cook-off, and our newest hit, the Father/Daughter semi-formal Valentine’s Dance. The commitment is small: one 90-minute Expedition meeting and one event a month. The payoff is huge!
