At the Hockomock Area YMCA Families are FIRST.

As your world grows more complex and outside demands on your time increase, Healthy Futures Family gives you the chance to pass along the values you hold most important. At the Hockomock Area YMCA, we give families the time and the place to gather together as a family through Healthy Futures Family, a program aimed at strengthening family ties.

At the Bernon Family Branch in Franklin, Healthy Futures Family takes place on Thursdays in the Community Room located on the second floor.  Family dining is from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m., and program activities are from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Our menus offer three choices, including a kid-friendly entree, a full salad bar, and a dessert. Activities include storytelling, arts and crafts, game nights, puppet shows, performances, monthly movie nights, and more. Monthly meal menus and activity schedules are available at the Member Service Desk and can also be found on our web site. For newcomers: your first meal is free!

If you're looking for a place where your 6-10-year-olds can hang out while you work out, then Kids' Club may be the answer. Kids can play board games, surf the Internet, or get creative with arts and crafts while socializing with others their own age. Kids' Club is available on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. and on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 3:30 to 6:00 p.m. During school holidays and vacation weeks Kids Club runs from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m.

Join us each month for family trivia, family game night, and a flick-and-float movie in the pool.
