“
For my husband the Y has been a life-changing experience. Unemployment can be hard on a family, especially if you are actively looking for work. The Y has been a stress reliever for my husband and our entire family.
”
You may know of people in our community whose experiences are similar. Having an impact like this is one reason that the South Shore YMCA is investing in a new facility in Quincy. The new Y will provide an expanded Early Learning Center where working families can have peace of mind that their children are safe and thriving, a health & well-being center for all ages, teen programming, and vibrant spaces where families can participate together in healthy activities. The Y’s collaborations with other health care providers will make this facility a focal point for community well-being. Construction is moving quickly, and we expect to complete the new facility by this October. Follow the progress on our website and learn how you can help the Y lead the way in youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. Our Capital Campaign Community Phase is underway and provides opportunities for naming places within the building and outside on the grounds. If you wish to make a donation, contact Bruce Haas at 617-479-8500, ext. 249 or bhaas@ssymca.org.

Silver Squad – The Silver Squad is the entry of the SSYS program. This training group provides an important transition from water safety to the foundation principles of competitive swimming. The aim of this squad is to master the FuNdamentals of swimming. Gold Squad – This group is designed to build on the basic skills developed in the Silver Squad. Swimmers in the gold squad will have their stroke technique refined and advanced, will learn to train and wil also be introduced to greater aerobic conditioning. Dryland training is introduced at this level.
Age Junior Squad – The Age Junior group transitions swimmers toward the competitive Age Group program. In addition to increased athleticism, swimmers will also learn the importance of training in relation to performance.
Age Group Squad – The Age Group is a highly important developmental training group in the SSYS swimming program. This squad is a key transition point as swimmers move from a foundation of swimming principles toward the expectations of the senior training program. Swimmers can expect to be in this group for a number of seasons. A comprehensive dry land program is introduced at this level.
Senior II Squad – The Senior II Squad in the SSYS program is the highest level training group that practices primarily at the SSYMCA BRANCHES. The aim of this group is to qualify and compete at New England Swimming, YMCA, USA and MIAA Championship meets and prepare for the Senior I and National Squads.
Senior I & National Squads – These groups represent the highest level of practice and coaching available with SSYS.

Established in 1928, the SOUTH SHORE YMCA Camp Burgess for boys and Hayward for girls are located on Cape Cod, just one hour south of Boston, and situated on over 300 acres of forests, meadows and sparkling freshwater ponds. Camp offers a variety of enriching programs throughout the year appealing to all ages and interests.
Since 1982, the Germantown Neighborhood Center (GNC) has been providing critical support services, needed resources, programs and workshops to the youth and families of the Germantown and neighboring communities of Quincy. Located within one of Quincy’s largest public housing developments, the GNC serves a community of mostly low-income, singleparent households and works with support and guidance from the SOUTH SHORE YMCA to identify and develop strategies to address community needs. Our youth programs give kids a safe environment where they can grow and learn positive values that they will carry with them for a lifetime. Our after school youth programs run from September to June and include: Sports Blast, Fun Size Fitness, Reading Round Up, Dancing Divas and Girl Scouts to name a few. School vacation camps run during February, April and during the summer months for grades K–12. Women’s programs are designed to get women out of the house and build relationships with other women who are in the same situation. Childcare and dinner are often provided. Women are encouraged to bring the whole family while mom engages in skill-building workshops with other women. Our Family Lifelong Learning programs encourage literacy and educational achievement through our GED programs, or Teen Success programs. Our food pantry serves residents all over the City of Quincy with food assistance.
Join us for our Hallow-teen Weekend! October 25th-27th, ages 12-17
We’ll climb Dracula’s tower, have an eerie paddle on Spectacle Pond, carve pumpkins, spook ourselves with an off-site Haunted Ghost Tour, design our own haunted house right at Camp, and much, much more! All teens stay in heated Burgess cabins and eat all meals in the Burgess dining hall.
