Charlie Davis, President and CEO of the YMCA of Pierce and Kitsap Counties, is constantly working to make our community healthier and happier. Hear his unique perspective after decades of experience to see how our Y is a place where miracles happen.

The Y believes that time spent outdoors helps us be our healthiest, best selves. We are excited to offer family adventures every weekend at YMCA Camp Seymour through the fall season! Kate, part of our staff and Y member, took time out of her busy life to have a fun and safe trip with her family to get away at YMCA Camp Seymour.

Helping Community Members In Need   The Y is dedicated to continuing to offer showers to those in need in our community. Our partnership launched in spring 2020 in response to COVID-19 restrictions, leaving many members of our community without homes who needed a place to shower every day.

Rosa has been a Y member at the Tom Taylor Family YMCA since it opened. Her dad is active and always inspired her to pursue a healthy lifestyle. She ran her first half-marathon in 2016 with her dad, mom, and sister. "I've always looked up to my dad and he's inspired me and motivated me to live a fit, healthy lifestyle!" Rosa says.

Jon visits the Y almost every morning and enjoys using the weights to stay focused on his health and fitness. As an Infantry Officer for the Canadian Army, staying healthy is important.
