Register for YMCA Adventure Guides in Simi Valley and Conejo Valley

Organized through the Simi Valley Family YMCA and the Yarrow Family YMCA branches, YMCA Adventure Guides/Y-Trailblazers programs are for parents and their children, ages 5-11. The program runs from August 2026 through June 2027.

Parents and their child attend program activities together as a pair in small parent-daughter or parent-son "circles" based on age, grade and school. This program helps foster a lifetime of understanding and companionship through outdoor adventure activities, camping trips and monthly events that strengthen the relationship between parent and child.

All activities are guided by the core values found in YMCA programs: caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. "Adventure Guides is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to build a parent-child bond," says Tori Cusack, senior program director at the Yarrow Family YMCA. "It sets the foundation for a positive, lifelong relationship between parent and child."

Register by June 30 to save $20 with early bird pricing. Each activity/event will be an additional cost.
