Why I Love The Woodlands YMCA despite the Report: Houston YMCA CEO one of the highest-paid charity execs in the country

By
Real Estate Agent with Chevaux Group Realtor, The Woodlands and Spring

Today the Houston Business Journal did a story on the Houston YMCA executives being one of the highest paid in the country.  KHOU Report: Houston YMCA CEO one of the highest-paid charity execs in the country

I have sent my children to the summer YMCA camps here in The Woodlands the past 4 years and this summer was the BEST EVER!!!   I do have to admit my kids were not that excited the past few years to do the YMCA summer camps but this year it completely changed!

I am proud that our Houston CEO had the vision to come up with a facility like this at Creekside YMCA!

The New YMCA in The Woodlands / Creekside opened up this year and it is AMAZING!

What an asset this is to our community!

It is almost as if you are going back in time to the Disney Movie "The Parent Trap"!

Outdoor Ampitheatre:

 Tee Pee's:

 

 Zip Line and Climbing Structure:

 

Tree Houses:

  

Gorgeous Facilities:

 

 

Awesome Restrooms:

The new YMCA is on 21 acres, located in The Woodlands newest Village of Creekside Park next to the 1700 acre George Mitchell Preserve. The main focus will be the attention to outdoor recreation and education, reconnecting kids and families with nature, and bringing back the sense of adventure to the family outdoor experience.

"Naturally alive with adventure, the new Creekside center offers a world of free and natural play, just like when you were a kid. Here kids can climb high atop a tree house or climb under the sanctuary of an authentic Native American tipi. Interconnected by expansive forest canopies and sprawling wooden boardwalks, there's simply nothing like Creekside anywhere in the Greater Houston Area. Explore everything from the centerpiece lodge to alpine tower to giant swing to outdoor chapel to archery range to outdoor amphitheater and more!"
