We look forward to joining you on your journey through the Fall season. In the coming weeks, we’ll be hosting a number of events, starting a new program session and highlighting a membership promotion as the weather gets cooler (mostly) and we all begin to think about moving indoors for connection, wellness and belonging.
See you soon!

- $706,000 awarded in Y Cares Financial Assistance Scholarships to enable children, adults and seniors with limited financial means to participate in any Y program or service. Significant aid is for childcare, afterschool care and summer camp, allowing parents who are low-wage earners to work or return to school and afford quality childcare.
Camp Sargent Experience
Located on Lake Naticook in Merrimack, Camp Sargent has offered local youth, ages 5-16, a superior day camp program since 1924. Kids attend for one to ten weeks to take part in traditional camp activities, spend their summer time gaining skills and confidence, and experience the joys of childhood.
- $589,000 was invested by the Y and our funding partners toward community-based initiatives. We provide several evidence-based programs at no cost including: YMCA Power Scholars Academy, LiveSTRONG at the YMCA, Prescribe the Y, Y Academy After School Programs and Superhero Training Academy. Additionally we demonstrate social responsibility by allowing many non-profits free use of our facilities to plan and carryout their work and Y staff play an active role in many community-wide initiatives related to closing the achievement gap and public health.
