Military Programs

As an Armed Services YMCA, Kitsap Family YMCA offers specific Programs for Active Military families resident in the County, in addition to whatever may be available on base from MWR or Family Support. We also participate in the three Military Affairs Committees of the Bremerton, Port Orchard and Silverdale Chambers of Commerce in support of all their activities for the Military Community.

Facility Hours:

Monday-Friday
5:15 a.m. - 9:30 p.m.

Saturday
9:00 a.m.- 9:00 p.m.

Sunday
12:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.

 

Military Date Night

First Saturday of each Month, 5:30 to 9:30 pm

Take a break from the kids and enjoy yourselves, with the help of the Kitsap Armed Services YMCA Military Date Night Program. Bring the little ones in - as young as 4 weeks will be accepted - for only $3 per hour per child, for up to four hours on the first Saturday evening of each month. See a movie, have dinner or just kick back and relax in the peace and quiet. (Prepaid punch cards are available for only $25 for ten hours.)


 

For all the Armed Services YMCAs in the USA, November was "Military Family Month" and, to show our appreciation, the Kitsap Armed Services YMCA gave all our attendees of Date Night in November a FREE night out! 

 

November Free Date Night was a big success - we reached capacity for the facility and staff at 89 children on the night of November 3. Everyone had a great night out and the kids had fun all evening long . (View photos here.)


Military Drop-In Preschool

Monday through Friday, 12:15-3:15 p.m.

For Active Military families with children who are two-and-a-half to five years old, the children can be dropped off at the YMCA Annex to take part in the scheduled early-learning activities and you can get other things done during that time.  

NOTE: We reserve the right to be flexible with the schedule as we begin this new program, but currently our curriculum is as follows:

Preschool Curriculum:

We are keeping this curriculum flexible since this is a brand-new Program and we need to be able to "tweak" anything to improve the service we are offering to you.
