Summer Address:
YBOYS is an outdoor education program of the Metrocenter YMCA that develops multi-cultural leadership skills in young men through wilderness experience. Our 5 to 16 day backpacking, rock climbing, and mountaineering expeditions will give you the multi-cultural leadership skills needed to thrive in high school, college and beyond! No outdoor experience or equipment is necessary. A desire to have fun and challenge yourself in spirit, mind and body required!
The YBOYS Vision: To create a world where young men have the emotional intelligence, courage, and compassion to be positive multi-cultural leaders in their communities.
Our Mission: To use wilderness experience and challenge to create emotionally and
physically safe spaces where boys from different backgrounds can communicate and develop to their fullest leadership potential.
