Facts about Silver Bay YMCA
Silver Bay YMCA is over 100 years old.
It is thought that Jabez Patchin built the first structure on the property, a one-room cottage, around 1800.
The bell in the auditorium tower is a 500-pound Meneely bell, cast in 1909.
In 1910 the Lakeshore Trail and Council Ring was the site of the first Scout Master’s Training School, known as today as the Boy Scouts of America.
In 2015, Silver Bay YMCA was the first to seek a Low Impact Development certification from the Lake George Waterkeeper.
Silver Bay serves as the host site for more than 150 educational, cultural, environmental, religious, public groups, and family reunions each year.
