Dear Friends,
Deanna Burns, Child Watch/Adventure Zone Coordinator dburns@ymca-snoco.org 425 224 8041
Spring and summer are here and the Mill Creek YMCA has tons of great activities to keep you and your entire family happily busy this time of year.
Daniel Clements, Member Experience Director dclements@ymca-snoco.org 425 224 8045
From summer camps to swimming lessons and even updated wellness classes, you will find new and enhanced programs and classes throughout the Mill Creek Y this summer. A new program this summer, Leaders in Training (LIT), is a two-week session for teens ages 14-16. LIT will give teens the opportunity to learn valuable skills like group facilitation, working with youth, and certifications all in a hands on setting. Check out our camp section on page 13 for more information. Keep an eye out for some new cardio equipment starting to arrive including seven treadmills, two AMTs to replace ellipticals, and a new rowing machine. We also have some functional training pieces that will be added to our Group Exercise room for personal and group training to add to your workouts. We hope you enjoy the update! We are excited to serve you and your family this summer. If there is anything we can do to make your experience better, please contact me directly.

MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION NOW IT’S EASIER THAN EVER TO JOIN THE Y! Membership in the Y is a special thing. Be a part of a leading nonprofit organization for youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. The YMCA of Snohomish County is a membership organization and anyone can join. So, with simple monthly dues, you have no contracts or minimum stays to worry about and no sales pitches to endure. Just quality, healthy programs that your whole family can enjoy.
MEMBERSHIP TYPES FACILITY MEMBERSHIP Get full access to fitness centers at all five YMCAs in Snohomish County with a Facility Membership. Choose from a wide menu of free group exercise classes, enjoy lap and recreational swimming, and receive a free wellness orientation when you join. And as a facility member, you’ll be eligible for priority registration and reduced fees on specialty classes and programs for your whole family. PROGRAM MEMBERSHIP If you’re not already a Y Facility Member and want to participate in programs like summer camps, youth sports, swimming lessons and child care, you’ll need an annual Program Membership. You’ll receive the same great level of quality and caring for which the Y is known, but without access to wellness centers and other amenities offered through a full Facility Membership. COMMUNITY MEMBERSHIP Belonging is a philosophy at the heart of the Y. Everyone in the community is considered a free Community Member and is welcome to participate in key community events and programs such as fun runs, health fairs, and community education. MY Y IS NOW EVERY Y IN WASHINGTON We want to encourage members to use the Y as often as they can. Sometimes, it’s more convenient for members to use a Y in a different location when travelling, near a workplace, or in another region. Now, full facility/full privilege YMCA members can use other Y facilities throughout the state. See website for program details. CORPORATE MEMBERSHIP As part of the YMCA’s corporate membership plan, employees will enjoy the benefits of belonging to Snohomish County’s largest and most respected health, wellness, and human service organization.

SUMMER 2017 | MILL CREEK FAMILY YMCA
SWIM, SPORTS & PLAY SPORTS LEAGUES The Y is the starting point for many youth to learn about becoming and staying active, and developing healthy habits they’ll carry with them throughout their lives. Plus, the benefits are far greater than just physical health. Whether it’s gaining the confidence that comes from learning a new skill or building the positive relationships that lead to good sportsmanship and teamwork, participating in sports at the Y is about building the whole child, from the inside out.
FALL OUTDOOR SOCCER Ages 3-9 BE GOAL ORIENTED! Youth Soccer is an exciting sport combining team play and individual skills. YMCA youth soccer promises no try outs, no getting cut, and no bench warmers! Every child plays at least half of every game while making friends and learning new techniques. Equipment, field size, and player number are age specific to increase involvement and touches on the soccer ball. Participants will improve basic soccer skills, learn good sportsmanship, and have fun!
The YMCA approach to Youth Sports is different from many leagues. We focus on the four YMCA core values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility. Every child gets equal playing time and we encourage fair play, positive competition, and family involvement. Our goal is to enable each player to excel in that other game we’re all familiar with: the game of life. All sports and divisions are co-ed.
Season:
YMCA SUMMERBALL: T-BALL & COACH PITCH Ages 3-6 This program is designed for younger ages to help players learn basic baseball skills, such as batting, catching, throwing, and basic game play. All children are encouraged to play, getting equal chances to bat, run bases, and play in the outfield, Teams will practice once a week with games on Saturdays.
COMPETITIVE SWIMMING
ROOKIE LEAGUE Ages 3-4 This instructional program is an introduction to baseball that emphasizes participation, fun, and teamwork. Players learn the proper techniques and the fundamentals of catching, throwing, fielding, hitting off a tee, while learning the basic rules of the game. MINOR LEAGUE Ages 5-6 This is a coach pitch division. Coaches throw under or overhand from approximately 30 feet away. No one strikes out. After five pitches a child may hit off a tee. Kids continue to work on the baseball basics, while beginning to form a passion for the game in a casual environment. Season:

Join Will McMahan, as he challenges this mindset. Will is not an athlete, he’s just an average person who decided to exercise at the Y, yet he bicycled across the United States last year. He believes that we can do far more than we think, in the twilight of our lives. Will tells of his cross country experience, and uses this event to illustrate how an average person can do more than they thought possible. Thursday

Think about it, a medical crisis can hit anyone at any time at any age. Who will be your voice if you are unable to speak? Who will decide if you can’t? Advance care planning is not just about old age. A medical crisis could leave someone too ill to make his or her own healthcare decisions. Get the tools you need! This workshop involves learning about the types of decisions that might need to be made, considering those decisions ahead of time, and then letting others know about your preferences. Now is the time to plan so you can be sure to get the health care you want! Knowing how you would decide takes some of the burden off family and friends. Have the conversation. You couldn’t give a better gift! Wednesday

The Mill Creek YMCA makes sure that these services are available to everyone regardless of income or financial circumstances. Funds raised through the Annual Campaign make it possible for children, families and adults to have access to Y programs that improve their lives. Together, we can build a better us. Our 2017 Annual Campaign has come to an end and our community pulled together to raise over $158,000 to provide anyone the opportunity to participate in life changing Y programs regardless of their ability to pay. We couldn’t have done this without the support of all our committed volunteers and generous donors!
