Get A Taste of Adventure Guides at Triunfo YMCA BBQ: September 6

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif. - Aug. 19, 2014 - PRLog -- The Triunfo YMCA, serving Westlake Village, Agoura Hills and Oak Park, is hosting a free “Taste of Adventure Guides” barbeque on Saturday, September 6 from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Willow Elementary School (29026 Laro Dr.) in Agoura Hills. Parents can ask questions and sign up for the program at the barbeque.

         The evening will include bounce houses, archery, gaga ball, magicians, music and games. It is designed to introduce parents and their kids to the Adventure Guides (formerly Indian Guides and Princesses) program. YMCA staff and current program participants will be available to provide more information, answer questions and lead activities.

         More than 1,000 community members are part of the Triunfo Y’s Adventure Guides. “YMCA Adventure Guides is for fathers and their children. They take part in outdoor activities, camping and monthly meetings,” says John Napotnik, Triunfo Y program director. "It's a way to set aside time to be with your child and grow together.”

         Parent-child pairs join other families in their neighborhood or school and usually meet at member homes for games, crafts and stories in addition to special events. Programs are available for three to five year olds (Y-Papooses), kindergarteners and first and second graders (Y-Adventure Guides) and third graders and up (Y-Trailblazers).

         Some of the planned special events include a pinewood derby, winter and fall camps and community service activities.
