BOLD & GOLD Comes to Bellingham!
This year, the Whatcom Family YMCA is excited to partner with the YMCA of Greater Seattle to bring BOLD & GOLD (Boys & Girls Outdoor Leadership Development) to our community!
BOLD & GOLD offers transformational outdoor adventures for youth entering grades 6-8, taking them to some of the most breathtaking locations in the Pacific Northwest. These trips are more than just about hiking, climbing, or paddling—they're about building confidence, leadership skills, and lifelong friendships in a supportive environment.
New This Year: Whatcom Y Partnership
For the first time, BOLD & GOLD trips will be running out of Bellingham! While all registrations will be processed through the YMCA of Greater Seattle, our local youth will now have the opportunity to embark on these unforgettable journeys right from our own community.
How to Sign Up
Since we’re partnering with Seattle’s YMCA, registration for all BOLD & GOLD trips must be completed through their online portal.
