Want to have your name or inscription on a plaque on one of our iconic green rockers?

Our Green Rocker Society (GRS) is our largest giving society and provides steadfast support for our youth and family programs. As a member of GRS, you are giving someone a Mountaintop experience rocking on the porch, building community and enjoying the view. And your support of YMCA Blue Ridge is on display for everyone to see! For more information, contact Suzette Armatas at [email protected] or see the link in comments.

Hey there Amazing Alumni! We are excited to share some BIG news with you and need your help spreading it far and wide!

YMCA Blue Ridge Assembly is excited to announce three great options to visit the Blue Ridge Mountains at a pace that fits your needs!

Select the speed that fits you best:
- Planned self-paced retreats (enjoy some porch time and local exploration!)
- Active program-filled mornings (think hiking, climbing, and crafts!)
- All-inclusive Family Camps (fun-filled family activities!)

It is our mission to provide opportunities to get away from the busyness of life, reconnection with those around you and respite to help strengthen families.

View upcoming dates and reserve your room today online at https://blueridgeassembly.org/mountain-retreats/

We can't wait to welcome you home to Y Blue Ridge!
