Adventure Guides, the YMCA program once known as Indian Guides, is dedicated to enhancing the relationship between children and the significant adults in their lives, fostering companionship and understanding, and setting a foundation for positive, lifelong relationships between parent and child.

The circles in the Lewis and Clark / Hunter Princess Expedition are groups of Fathers setting aside time to spend with their Sons and Daughters.  Activities include monthly circle meetings with other neighborhood members, local Expedition events, and three annual weekend camping trips at YMCA camps. Every event is optional, every circle sets its own meeting schedule. Commit as much or as little time as you can spare. Get to know your neighbors. Stay involved in your kids lives.
