From baby shoes to the first grade to high school graduation. It seems like forever, but it only takes a few short years, and it goes by so fast.

Know that little seven or eight year old of yours?
Just 10 years from now, he or she will be off to college or a new job, starting a life of his or her own.

The dads in the YMCA of Arlington Father/Child Program have discovered an innovative program that allows them to spend quality time with their kids during those growing up years. Participants meet once a month in small groups, called tribes. As part of the larger group, or nation, tribes join together to participate in activities ranging from the Pinewood Derby, Rocket Shoot, Daddy/Daughter Date Night and campouts. Programs are available for fathers and children from three years to 8th grade.

"Whether it's camping trips, canoeing, cookouts, or projects, all activities provide opportunities for father and child to share experiences together on a one-on-one basis," said Rodney Smith, Father/Child Program Director.
