Mama on a Budget: YMCA Summer Activities

Family Movie Night at the YMCA

"Carl Frederickson:  Hey, let's play a game. It's called 'See Who Can Be Quiet the Longest'.

Russell: Cool! My mom loves that game!"                                           -Disney's UP

If you’re in desperate need of a long game of “See who can stay quiet the longest” then perhaps a FREE family movie night is just what you need.  On Friday May 24^th, the Campbell County YMCA is presenting Disney’s UP (rated G) as the latest in the free family movie series.  The movie will begin at 6:30 in the gymnasium at the YMCA.  It will be presented on the big screen and popcorn will be provided for all in attendance.  Best part (besides that it is free) is that it is open to the public so you do not have to be a member to come. 

However, if you are interested in becoming a member, now is a great time as the Y has summer membership specials that come with the full benefits of membership without a commitment beyond summer months (summer memberships expire September 2).  The rates are as follows:

Summer Family- $299

Summer Adult -$199

Summer Student-$99 (NKU or UC)

Sign-ups for their many summer camp options are also going on now so be sure to check these out:
