About Us
Avalon Circle is a tight-knit group of dads and daughters and a part of the YMCA Adventure Guides program. We create lasting father-daughter memories through themed events, seasonal outings, and fun meetups throughout the year. Avalon Circle places a special emphasis on the father-daughter relationship and experience —it’s about connection, laughter, and being present during these special years of our daughter's lives. Whether we’re on a local outing, camping, crafting, hiking, or just hanging out, Avalon is all about making the most of our father-daughter time together.
While the YMCA Adventure Guide program is available throughout Orange County, Avalon Circle primarily covers communities within the south Orange County area.

Activities
Avalon Circle meets monthly for exciting activities such as camping trips, beach activities, father-daughter dance, hiking adventures, community service projects, and special events. We emphasize the values of family, nature, caring, honesty, respect and responsibility, while fostering deep connections between fathers and daughters in a fun, supportive environment.
Don't feel obligated to join all the activities throughout the year. It's all about spending time with your daughter, however that best fits in your busy life.

About Adventure Guides
The Adventure Guides program was developed to help strengthen family relationships. As the parent of a young child, you have the tremendous opportunity to get to know your child. Spending quality one-on-one time with your child will help build a strong bond of trust and memories that will last a lifetime.
