Gateway Region YMCA Events

We're inviting alumni back to camp for a fall retreat packed with your favorite camp activities and a canoe full of nostalgia. This is a family-friendly event, so bring your little ones and loved ones along!

Visit Graceland (home of Elvis), explore Beale Street, tour Sun Studio and the Rock n' Soul Museum, and so much more!

Ride the rails on the A&M Railroad, enjoy an art demo at Terra Studios, and tour the Peel Mansion, all while traveling on a luxury motorcoach that will pick you up and drop you off at the Monroe County YMCA!

Join us November 20–22 for Friendsgiving Weekend, enjoying special activities like a Friendsgiving 5K, trivia, horseback riding, a cozy campfire with s’mores and more — all surrounded by the beautiful Ozarks in late fall.

Parents take the night off while the kids enjoy an evening packed with fun, friends, and plenty to be thankful for! Kids ages 5–12 will enjoy an exciting night of swimming, games, crafts, and more! Pizza, capri sun and snack provided to keep everyone fueled for all of the fun!

Are your kids on break, but you're not? Let us give you a break at our Thanksgiving Break Mini Camp! Our high energy camp offers a safe, active, and inspiring space for growing children, combining basketball development, hands-on STEM challenges, and practical leadership training.
