YTribes -- Real Dads, Real Kids, Real Fun!

YTribes gives fathers a chance to strengthen their relationship with their children by spending time together, having fun, learning about each other and sharing new experiences. Boys and girls learn patience, spirituality, appreciation for the earth and concern for the family.

Life is busy.  Calendars fill.  Children grow up quickly.  Y-Tribes is a fun and easy way for fathers to schedule quality time with their children.  Through participation in the Y-Tribes program, you and your child will share new experiences, learn about each other, strengthen your relationship, create special memories and of course, have fun.

Participants are divided into groups of fathers and their kids called “tribes.”  Each tribe consists of 6-8 parent/child pairs.  Tribe activities may include at-home get-togethers or special outings.  In addition all tribes are invited to attend special monthly outings such as camping, sporting events, movies and more.
