Serving families has always been at the heart of the Y. We are a place where they can find respite from social, economic and educational challenges, and learn how to overcome them. We have a fundamental desire to provide opportunities for every family to build stronger bonds, achieve greater work/life balance, and become more engaged with their communities.

FAMILY WEEKEND ADVENTURE PROGRAMS

Back by popular demand is our Family Weekend Adventure Program. Run by our Outdoor Education department, we are pleased to offer a new expereince this spring. We invite you to participate with members of your family and/or friends.

Mt. Wachusett stands over 2000 feet, rising above the hills of scenic central Massachusetts. From its summit on a clear day, you can see views of New Hampshire, the Berkshire Mountains and the Boston skyline! Participants must bring a backpack packed with a lunch and snacks, 2 water bottles, extra socks and a rain coat. Participants must also wear hiking boots or sneakers with good soles and wear/bring layers of clothing for a variety of temperatures and weather conditions. Non-cotton wicking material is preferred, especially for shirts. And we definitely recommend bringing a camera as the views from the summit will be fantastic!
