It's a privilege to share the gospel and love of Jesus to our campers! This is incorporated in every activity, but we especially love the dedicated time on Worship Wednesdays. We want to give a special thanks to Concord Baptist Church for bringing songs, games, and the Word to our Summer Camp!

💙 Member Spotlight 💙
Tina joined the Y in March 2023 with the goal of losing weight to help alleviate her hip pain. Through dedication and hard work, she has made incredible progress—losing nearly 80 pounds! Today, Tina is within just 10 pounds of the goal weight her doctor set for her hip replacement surgery. What an amazing accomplishment!

Tina says she loves coming to the Y not only for her workouts, but also because of the friendly environment and the loving support she receives from staff and fellow members. We are so proud of Tina and grateful to have her in our Y family. 💙

Did you know Father’s Day was founded at the YMCA?

In 1910, Sonora Smart Dodd held the very first Father’s Day celebration at the Spokane YMCA to honor her dad - a single father who raised six children. Her love for her father sparked a national tradition that we still celebrate today!

Today, we continue to celebrate and support fathers, father figures, and families of all kinds - building strong communities together.
, from our Y family to yours!

🗓️Pedaling for Parkinson’s Starts in One Month! 🚴‍♀️

At the Pickens YMCA, we believe in the power of movement, connection, and hope — and our Pedaling for Parkinson’s program is a shining example of that mission in action.

This FREE, evidence-based program utilizes stationary cycling and machine-based resistance training to enhance quality of life and mitigate Parkinson’s symptoms through high-cadence cardiovascular exercise and functional strength training — all in a safe and welcoming environment.

✅ Designed specifically for individuals with Parkinson’s
✅ Encouraging coaches & monitored sessions
✅ Sense of community, camaraderie, and support

Know someone who could benefit? Share this with them — or better yet, bring them by. Sometimes all it takes is a little encouragement to change someone’s path forward.
