More from Conejo ValleyThe Triunfo YMCA, serving Westlake Village, Agoura Hills and Oak Park, will hold a free Y-Guides information day/barbeque Saturday, September 6 at Willow Elementary School (29026 Laro Drive, Agoura Hills) from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
The dad-child programs are created for families with children from pre-school through fifth grade. Indian Papooses (fathers and their son or daughter ages 3 1/2 to pre-kindergarten) is designed to get an early start on fostering understanding and companionship between parent and child. Activities include arts and crafts, fall and spring camps, a trip to the zoo and a snow day.
Y Indian Guides and Princesses (fathers and their son or daughter in kindergarten through second grade) develop understanding and companionship between father and son or daughter. Parents and children will participate in overnight campouts, bowling, a pinewood derby and a train ride.
Y Trailblazers (fathers and their son or daughter in third through fifth grades) offers older children more challenging and varied experiences, while teaching leadership and responsibility. Fathers and kids will participate in go-cart racing, overnight camps, Lastertag, a ski/snowboard outing and visits to the USS Midway and the Griffith Park Observatory.
"Our parent-child programs give fathers and their child the opportunity to set aside time to spend with each other doing great indoor and outdoor activities. Programs are well run, easy to fit into your schedule and affordable," says Veronica Rodarte, Triunfo YMCA program director. "Financial assistance is available. Groups are formed in participants' neighborhood and meetings are held monthly, usually at one of the members' homes. Activities are geared around school schedules."
YMCA staff and Y-Guide volunteers will be at the event to answer questions, demonstrate activities and sign-up program members. A bounce house, magicians and games are also part of the event.
