About

The Central Florida YMCA Adventure Guides - Eola Federation

The Y-Adventure Guides is part of the National YMCA Adventure Guides Program. The program provides many opportunities in many unique settings that you are unlikely to find otherwise. It is designed to help a parent (or Guardian) and a child build a strong, long lasting relationship by spending quality time together doing enjoyable activities that help promote communication. In the Y-Adventure Guide Program, a parent and child go on a fantastic journey of learning and growing together in a program that encourages fun, understanding, and companionship with each other as well as with other families and children in the program. Together they build memories, self-esteem, and develop the foundation for a lifelong healthy relationship.

Benefits for Parents:
For parents, this program offers the chance to bond with your child on many levels and build a loving and trusting relationship that will last a lifetime. The program also offers you the opportunity to meet and interact with other families and their children for a truly unique learning experience.

Benefits for Children:
For children, the program offers an opportunity for a wide and diverse circle of friends that often become more like a large family. The older kids usually take on the leadership roles, helping and teaching the younger kids while the younger kids look up to the older kids for guidance like they would a big brother or sister. The program helps the children build self-esteem, develop a strong sense of identity, of belonging, and of personal accomplishment. The kids also get to witness first hand how other parents and their children interact with each other.
