RIDGEWOOD YMCA PROGRAM GUIDE
GET IN THE GAME RIDGEWOOD YMCA PROGRAM GUIDE SESSION DATES: April 21-june 15, 2014 Registration opens march 31 REGISTER ONLINE AT WWW.RIDGEWOODYMCA.ORG Join us in something BIG Membership in the Y is a special thing. Be a part of a leading nonprofit organization for youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. When you join the Y you belong to a place where: • Parents find a safe, positive environment for children to learn good values, social skills and behaviors. • Families come together to have fun and spend quality time with each other. • Children and teens play, learn who they are and what they can achieve. • Adults connect with friends, pursue interests and learn how to live healthier. • Communities thrive because neighbors support each other and give back. • We all build relationships that further our sense of belonging and purpose. Membership For All We believe everyone deserves a Y, so the Ridgewood YMCA offers financial assistance to individuals and families who might otherwise not be able to afford membership or program fees. Please contact Megan Heller at ext 375 about financial assistance. It’s easy to apply and the Y does everything it can to make the Y a place for all. Volunteer, Donate, Advocate As a nonprofit, the Y is able to strengthen community because of the dedicated youth, families and individuals who share our passion and make the Y part of their lives. They give their time, resources and talents—every day and in hundreds of ways—because they know they can improve the lives of others while enhancing their own through the Y. Well-being for many of our neighbors is all too frequently limited by income or social isolation. In low-income communities, the Y offers opportunities for every child, teen or adult to achieve his or her potential regardless of economic status. With your help, the Y can continue to expand programming and outreach where it is needed most. Please consider volunteering your time, making a contribution, or sharing your story of the Y’s impact. 2 Operating Hours Members must present membership cards. Members must leave the facility 15 minutes after operating hours. Schedules are subject to change. Each pool is closed periodically for maintenance. Please check building notices for schedules.

Class Mon 11:00am-12:00pm462 8 Week Class - Triangle/BFC $40 Program/Swim $80 NEW! MINDFULNESS FOR DAILY LIVING Mindfulness has been defined as intentionally paying attention to the present moment with acceptance. Because stress doesn’t go away, the practice of mindfulness involves stress management, rather than stress elimination. Mindfulness can create a world where we experience depth, meaning and connectedness. We see joy and sadness more fully and settle more deeply into an authentic way of being. Eventually, mindfulness is supposed to help us spend less time worrying about the future or fretting about the past. In this 7 week program, we will learn to listen better and step back to consider more choices and make decisions more clearly and intentionally, rather than reactively. 7 Week Course - April 10 to May 22 Thursdays - 7:00 to 8:30pm The class fee is $150 for members and $175 for non-members 20 Ridgewood YMCA / 112 Oak Street, Ridgewood, NJ 07450 / Phone: 201-444-5600 / Fax: 201-493-0606 / www.ridgewoodymca.org Healthy living Improving the nation’s health and well-being Adult Swim Lessons Beginner 1 No swim or water experience; learn to float and start kick and arm stroke.
