How did the Advnture Guides Program come to Be?

 The Camarillo YMCA Adventure Guides Program is an evolution of the original YMCA parent-child program called Indian Guides. The father and son Y-Indian Guide program was developed in 1926 to support the father’s vital family role as teacher, counselor, and friend to his son.  

"To foster understanding and companionship between parent and child"

Program Pledge:
