In the spirit of the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio, the Boothbay Region YMCA is hosting the “Y Olympics” to encourage its members to try new activities and to challenge themselves in new ways. The Y Olympics consists of 12 different activities that members will need to complete and have signed off in a passport, available at the membership desk. Loosely based on actual Olympic events, activities in the passport include swimming, tennis, rowing, cycling, running/walking, and more.

The number of activities that members complete in the time frame of the Olympics (Aug. 5-21) will qualify them for the bronze, silver, and gold levels or prizes. Members who complete all 12 activities will achieve gold and be entered into a drawing for a free annual membership!

The Y Olympics is open to any current member of the Boothbay Region YMCA. Registration is open at the membership desk and members can complete the 12 activities from Aug. 5through Aug. 21. We hope all Y members will enjoy this activity and find a way to keep the Olympic spirit alive in our community.

Now is a great time to join your Y! From Aug. 5 to Aug. 20, we will waive the activation fee for new or returning annual memberships, a savings of $40. Join now and participate in the Olympic fun.
