McCormick YMCA Back to School Bash & Drool in the Pool

McCormick YMCA’s Back to School Bash meets Drool in the Pool for a splash-tacular time that will kick off the school year with high energy! Join us for these FREE events and celebrate a successful summer. 

Drool in the Pool opens our waters to your furry friends before we close the pools for our annual cleaning. Bring in your dog to paddle, splash, and play in a safe, supervised environment. Plus, we’ll have dog-focused vendors present, including a vendor offering dog vaccines. 

For our families with school-age children, our Back to School Bash offers a school supply giveaway and opportunities to learn about upcoming McCormick Y programs and activities that will energize your body and stimulate your mind throughout the fall and beyond.
