Want to discover some new and fun ways for your family to be more active, improve your health and well-being and spend more time together? The Y’s Family Time is designed to help parents build strong relationships with their kids while learning new skills, developing new interests and connecting to the community.

We Are Family

At the YMCA of Southern Nevada, we offer a variety of family programs for kids, parents and grandparents, too!

Family Night

When: Every Friday from 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.

Where: All locations

Family night at the Y is a special time for families to not only have fun together, but to get to know other Y families looking to do the same. Parents and children participate in game nights, sports and craft activities, pool parties, and seasonal events. Together with field trips and fitness classes, they’re designed to inspire teamwork, excitement and creativity.

Friday Family Nights are always free and open to all, including non-members. You can register in person, online or through our app. Want to know ahead of time what’s on the agenda? Here’s a list of our upcoming programs.

Parents Night Out

When: Every Saturday 5:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.

Where: All locations

Our Parents Night Out program is a great opportunity to unwind and give yourself a date night away from parenting duties. Enjoy some quality time together while your kids have a blast at the Y making new friends and learning new skills. Our trained staff provide children with fun games, crafts, movie time, and swimming for those 5 years of age and older.

Family Engagement

We offer a lot of other family-focused events, too:

  • Family Funday takes place all day every Sunday. Making one day of the week about coming together at the Y is a great way to destress after a hectic week. Come take a fitness class, play some basketball, go for a swim, or engage in a friendly game of ping-pong!

Varied offerings include Togetherhood (a volunteer initiative), youth and family wellness events and a prime-time kids’ gym at all four locations. Our Durango Hills, Centennial Hills and Skyview locations feature a youth engagement center.
