YMCA Adventure Guides Taking Sign-ups in Simi Valley, Conejo Valley and Moorpark

The Southeast Ventura County YMCA is taking signups for its Adventure Guides programs in Simi and Conejo valleys and Moorpark for the 2025-26 school year.

Adventure Guides (for Kinder-6th graders) is set up into parent-child groups called Circles. Parent-child pairs join a Circle with families in their neighborhood or the school in which their children attend. They usually meet once a month for games and crafts and other activities. Also planned this year are a Pinewood Derby, a trip to Descanso Gardens, camping at Big Bear and Lake Casitas, and taking part in a plant restoration community service project.

Programs are designed to help foster a lifetime of understanding and companionship through outdoor adventure activities, camping trips and monthly events that strengthen the relationship between parent and child.

Y-Adventure Guides is for children in kindergarten through second grade. Y-Trailblazers are for children in third grade and up. Instilled in all activities are core values found in YMCA programs: caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.
