About YMCA:

The Old Colony YMCA serves 31 communities in Southeastern Massachusetts with programs for all ages and abilities, designed to build healthy spirits, minds and bodies. Programs include fitness, after-school enrichment, summer camps, residential treatment for youth, senior wellness and more. All activities stress positive values that enrich the individual, strengthen the family and enhance the quality of life for all members of the community.

The YMCA movement began in London in 1844, when George Williams and a group of fellow shopworkers created the organization to substitute Bible study and spiritual growth for the rough-and-tumble life on the city streets. The first YMCA in the United States was founded in Boston in 1851. The Old Colony YMCA was established in Brockton in 1887. Our first facility was constructed in 1901 and the organization has since grown both in size and impact.

The Old Colony YMCA maintains full-facility divisions in Brockton, East Bridgewater, Easton, Middleboro and Taunton. Our Plymouth Division offers child care and a summer camp. We run four summer camps and more than 40 child care sites, making us the largest provider in the region.
