Keeping Kids Safe at Our Events

At the YMCA, we follow Praesidium safety principles to help create a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone. As a reminder, parents and guardians are responsible for supervising their children throughout the event.

Please help us keep all participants safe by:

• Keeping your child within sight at all times
• Pointing out a designated meeting spot in case you get separated
• Knowing what your child is wearing on event day
• Ensuring your child knows your name and phone number
• Reminding your child not to leave the event area with anyone they do not know
• Reporting any concerns or suspicious behavior to event staff immediately

Thank you for helping us create a safe, fun experience for all!
