Each year, as camp season ends and we shift into fall, we take time to focus on improvement projects across the South Shore YMCA. If you received a survey request from us during the year, thank you for your honest and constructive feedback, which helps us prioritize these efforts to better serve you.
From late August into early September, both our Emilson YMCA in Hanover and Hale Family YMCA in Quincy will undergo a variety of updates and maintenance projects. We are working to complete each project with minimal disruption to your Y experience.
