Pickleball at the Y
Visit us to play the fastest-growing sport in the U.S.! It's easier on the body and has a simpler learning curve than other racket sports. Click below to read our blog for rules to the game and to find our gymnasium schedule! You can always see us at the Welcome Center and we'll help you get started, as well!
Trout Lodge Trips
Spend the day, a weekend, or even a week with like-minded adults who enjoy continued adventure, learning, and exploration. Whether alone, as a couple, or in a group, adults will find a program of interest for varying levels of ability. Rates include lodging, meals, and scheduled activities.
