YMCA Invites Community to Annual Summer Cookout

Wrapping up a busy summer of bustling camps and exciting programs, the North Suburban YMCA will host its second annual “Party at the Y!” community cookout on August 7 from 6:00 to 8:00pm. This special event, open to the public, will feature live music, inflatable bounce houses, games, food, and more. Campers and their families will have the opportunity to socialize with counselors and staff, and guests will enjoy special offers on Y membership. “Party at the Y!” will be held on the lawn adjacent to the facility’s playground, located at 2705 Techny Road in Northbrook.

“Last year’s Party at the Y was the hit of the summer,” notes Howard Schultz, NSYMCA Executive Director/CEO. “The cookout brings together our staff, our campers, and all the families that enjoy the Y’s programs. It’s a great opportunity for our entire community to celebrate the summer and let people know about ways to continue their Y experience throughout the year.”

The party will offer fun activities for all ages. While young children play in the bounce houses and playground, adults can enjoy live music provided by the band Markette. Y staff members will be on hand with information about afterschool child care, Adventure Guides, and a wide variety of other fall classes and programs.
