Did you know the YMCA is a great place to throw a birthday party? YMCA birthday parties are fun and relatively hassle-free. Here’s what you need to know to plan the perfect celebration.
Birthday party packages and facility rentals
Many YMCA branches offer birthday party packages that can make party planning a breeze. These packages often include pizza, juice, and tableware. You’ll probably need to bring your own cake, but check with your local Y to see what’s included and what dates are available.
In addition to birthday parties, the YMCA also offers facility rentals for meetings, retreats, and field trips. Some locations even rent out the pool or gym for private events, so ask about options and pricing.
Activities and Staffing
Some YMCAs offer specialized birthday parties centered around their pools or gymnastics centers. If you’re interested in one of these, be sure to ask whether there are any special forms you’ll need to fill out.
Depending on the branch, you may be able to hire YMCA staff, such as lifeguards or sports instructors, to help out at your party. Be sure to talk with the YMCA about the staff they have available and what their qualifications are, and make sure you have enough adults to supervise all the activities you’re planning.
Conclusion
If you’re ready to get the ball rolling, contact your local YMCA. Ask about available dates, party packages, and rental options, and make sure to fill out any forms they require (for example, an aquatics or gymnastics interest form).
Once you’ve decided on the best option for your needs, confirm all the details with the YMCA staff, finalize your booking, and pay any required fees. Be sure to discuss any special requests or needs you have, so they’re ready to make your party a success!
