Thank You Barney & Barney Foundation

The Laguna Niguel Family YMCA branch of the YMCA of Orange County received a $10,000 donation from the Barney & Barney Foundation at the end of September. The Barney & Barney Foundation was formed to create possibilities and ensure a bright future in communities. With the commitment the Y has to strengthening the foundation of community, the donation was a natural fit. The Y will be using the donation to support scholarships so that membership and programs are open to all.

I've been a member since 2004 visiting the facility daily. I always thought that the Y is a good environment to be in. Having the opportunity to work at the Y and participate in people of my community's life's is a responsibility to me.

Anonymous - Adventure Guides

   
 

A few years back I started in the Y-Guides program, now called Adventure Guides, with my older son, James. I am now in the program with my second child, Grant, and look forward to doing the same with my daughter, Julia, next year. This program has provided us with bonding experiences that are immeasurable. I remember initially thinking that I don't need a program to help me spend time with my kids; however, Adventure Guides has allowed us to do some incredible things- Surf Camp, Catalina Island, spending the night inside the aquarium exhibit at Sea World, etc. What makes this program so great is that the entire purpose is to provide a bonding experience with you and your child, not send them with a "den" parent to a meeting or camp site. A week doesn't go by where one of my kids reflects back on one of the great things we've done with Adventure Guides, asking when we get to go again. I am grateful for these memorable experiences, and look forward to many more over the next few years.

I was 30 years old and realized that I was unable to walk one block without getting out of breath. My family and I joined the local YMCA and began utilizing some of the great programs. I was in such poor physical condition with asthma and a painful hip that I knew I could not participate in a regular aerobics class. I began attending a shallow water aqua class with one if my friends. I liked the YMCA because I felt comfortable there, in a family atmosphere. I never imagined that 17 years later I would not only work at the YMCA but teach group exercise classes like Aqua Boot Camp, Silver Sneakers, Senior Fit, Silver Dance and be a certified personal trainer with a love for my job. I still participate in the various programs. The YMCA has changed the way I view fitness........ fitness can be fun!!!
