Celebrate a New School Year!

A new school year is more than new classes and school supplies—it’s a chance for kids to reconnect with friends, make new ones, and build the confidence that comes from belonging. At the YMCA, we believe that every child deserves to start the school year feeling excited, supported, and connected.

Join us as we celebrate the start of another great school year with an evening of fun, games, and friendship!

Date: Thursday, September 4
Time: 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM
Location: Oil City YMCA

Come spend the evening however you’d like!

• 🏀 Play basketball
• 🏊 Enjoy open swimming
• 🌽 Challenge your friends to corn hole
• ⚽ Join a game of kickball
• 😄 Or simply hang out, laugh, and be a kid!

Snacks and drinks will be available throughout the evening

FREE for YMCA Members
$5 for Non-Members

Bring a Friend and Kick Off the School Year Right!

Whether you’re meeting new classmates, reconnecting with old friends, or just looking for a fun night before school gets into full swing, the Oil City YMCA is the place to be.

We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
