YMCA of the Roses

The Lancaster Family YMCA offers programs and services that enhance the spiritual, mental and physical well-being of our community regardless of age, sex, race, or income. Everyone is welcome at the Y, and through the Y’s focus on Youth Development, Healthy Living and Social Responsibility, everyone will find programs to meet his or her needs. From swimming lessons to summer camp to preschool and after-school programs for children to fitness programs and sports leagues for adults, the Y has something for everyone.

Since 1854, the Lancaster Family YMCA has been a leading non-profit organization serving the community as a source of health and wellness, recreation, enrichment, preschool and school-age-child care programs and numerous other services for children, teens and adults. Through three branches located in Lancaster City, Lampeter-Strasburg and New Holland, the Y has created a network of support accessible to more than half of the people in living in Lancaster County.  YMCA Camp Shand, the Y’s day and overnight youth camp, offers programs for youth ages 6-16.  As the nation’s third oldest organized YMCA camp, Camp Shand has provided an invaluable life experience for thousands of young campers from central Pennsylvania and beyond.
