Take a break from your spring cleaning and join us for a Cinco de Mayo stroll on the trails of our lovely campus.  The walk will be led by members of the Westmoreland Bird & Nature Club (WBNC.NET) and no experience is necessary.  This is the peak time of year for the spring migration of warblers and other songbirds.   We may even spot some spring wildflowers.  The terrain is a bit hilly and uneven in spots.  Meet us at the Pavilion, wear sturdy shoes and bring binoculars.  Plan to join us post-walk for a bird feeder craft, coffee and donuts.

Bring your favorite stuffed animal to a mini clinic! Health professionals will guide kids with a variety of equipment and tests, helping them learn what happens at medical appointments. Our Teddy Bear Clinic will empower kids with knowledge of safe health practices, turning fear into familiarity through play.

Presented in partnership with University of Pittsburgh health students.

We are establishing a Fruit Tree Orchard here at The Sampson Family YMCA and need your help! Join us as we undertake this exciting endeavor in collaboration with Tree Pittsburgh to plant a grove of Paw Paw, Persimmon, Cherry, Hazelnut, Asian Pear and Fig Trees. Once established the Orchard will be an exciting opportunity to welcome fresh fruit to our Teaching Kitchen and Healthy Living programs and for members old and young to experience nature in a new way as we welcome more birds and butterflies!

Registration is encouraged so we have all the help we need to establish the young trees in the ground.

For questions or to find out other ways you can support this long-term project please email Chef Oliver at [email protected]
