This year, we celebrate 175 years of national YMCA impact and community building.
Across generations, the Y has helped shape culture and create opportunities for people of all ages—from inventing basketball and volleyball to pioneering fitness programming and launching some of the nation’s earliest summer camp experiences.
The Sage YMCA is proud to continue that legacy by fostering connection, belonging, and opportunity throughout our community.

Brunch is great… but have you tried a campfire? 🔥This Mother’s Day, skip the usual and give her something unforgettable!
For the mom who deserves more than “just another gift” — Give her laughter around the fire, mornings by the lake, and time with the people she loves most at YMCA Family Camp Nawakwa 🌲💙 https://ow.ly/SqOW50YUBYq
Because moments > things. Every time.

Trade the classroom for a little more adventure this summer. 🌄
At YMCA Camp Duncan, preschool summer camp gives kids the space to explore, imagine, and grow. 💚 Through outdoor play, guided discovery, and nature-based learning, children build confidence, strengthen communication skills, and develop independence — all while having fun and making new friends.
With a focus on creativity, collaboration, and hands-on experiences, it’s more than a program — it’s the beginning of a lifelong love of learning. https://ow.ly/iKwR50YRPkI
