Birthday Parties

What better place to have a birthday party for kids than the YMCA? We’ve got birthday party fun down to an art and our facility is a giant playground for kids eager to run, climb, swim and play (and eat cake, of course!)

Party times are up to 2.5 hours and can include a variety of combinations from reserved swimming and gym time to planned youth activities/games and, if at YMCA Camp Sherwin– 70 acres of outdoor recreation including  Jump Pillow, Spray & Play Park, hiking, fishing and canoeing.

A party room for cake and gifts is also available at all locations. Discounted prices for Y members and community member rates are available. A $25 non-refundable deposit is required.
