The Foothills Area YMCA is joining other Ys across the country for Campfire Across America, a one-night gathering centered on connection, belonging, and community. Join us as we come together around the campfire to share stories, reflect, and be present with one another.

This community-wide celebration brings the “Campfire Across America” movement right to your backyard.

Enjoy an evening filled with live music, local food trucks, and free s’mores, highlighted by an expert-judged s’more dessert contest. It’s also your first look at the future of the YMCA, featuring virtual tours of our highly anticipated Phase 2 expansion opening this August! 

Be sure to bring your camp chair and a blanket.
