YMCA of OC Receives Two Parenting OC Reader’s Choice Awards

The YMCA of Orange County proudly received two Parenting OC 2024 Reader’s Choice Awards, earning the coveted titles of Best Traditional Day Camp and Best Fitness Chain. This recognition is a testament to the Y’s unwavering commitment to supporting families and enhancing community well-being.

Each year, Parenting OC invites its readers to nominate and vote for their favorite family-friendly businesses, programs, and activities across a variety of categories, including Family Fun, Food, Camps, Classes, and more.

Recognized as the Best Traditional Day Camp, the Y provides fun, exciting curriculum-based activities for children during seasonal school breaks. These camps provide a wide range of activities, from arts and crafts to sports and outdoor adventures, all designed to foster teamwork, creativity, and physical fitness. With a focus on inclusivity and positive development, YMCA day camps provide a supportive environment where children can build new skills, make friends, and enjoy a memorable experience.

Also featured as Best Fitness Chain, the Y offers five locations throughout Orange County. Unlike many other fitness centers, the YMCA offers a wide range of programs beyond traditional workouts, including swimming, group classes, and youth sports. Its facilities are designed to be welcoming to individuals of all ages and fitness levels, and its emphasis on creating a supportive, family-friendly atmosphere makes it a top choice for holistic health and well-being.

These awards highlight the YMCA’s dedication to providing high-quality programs and services that not only promote health and fitness but also foster community, belonging, and fun for all ages. Being recognized by the very community it serves is a meaningful achievement and reinforces the YMCA’s mission to build a healthier, happier Orange County.
