Attracting more than 450,000 participants each year we provide services to the community from over 15 locations across the state.
The YMCA of South Australia is a not for profit organisation governed by an elected Board of Directors who in partnership with the Chief Executive Officer establish strategic directions, but delegate operation control through a professional management team.

Dads Link is a new initiative for single fathers and their children aged 7 - 14 years old.  Implemented by the YMCA of South Australia  and partnered by Relationships SA,  Dads Link incorporates a weekend camping program aimed at creating and nurturing strong father-child relationships.  The Dads Link camping weekend offer a recreational program combined with hands on workshop with the view of strengthening relationships through fun and leisure activities.  The first Dads Link camp will take place at the YMCA Glenhaven Park campsite - home of the state's most extensive high ropes and low ropes and largest Giant Swing - over the Fathers Day weekend and promises to provide both fathers and their children an adventure filled weekend of fun!
