“Memorial Day Weekend is action packed! There are a multitude of outdoor activities; hikes, archery, boating, etc. We are opening our Summer Concert Series that Saturday evening, followed by a fireworks show. Families will be able to participate and compete in a number of games and fun activities. We will be making sure to recognize the significance of the weekend with a Remembrance Salute for those who gave all in service to our country,” Lastowski added.

Silver Bay YMCA’s Executive Chef and Kitchen Manager Anthony Basile spoke to the upcoming food service-related events.

“It is an exciting year for us here at Silver Bay! We are offering multiple different events and extras from the Food Service department to continue to provide our guests and patrons with fresh, quality meals as well as a different experience.

“Public community events coming soon include a Mother’s Day Brunch and a Memorial Day BBQ. For our guests staying on campus this summer, we are planning on different dining options throughout the week like a BBQ on Wednesdays on the patio as well as a lobster boil on Thursdays at the Boathouse.

“Our pop-up restaurant, The Mountain View Grille, will be opening back up soon for guests and the community and we will be seating on our screened-in porch and patio during the summer months. Lastly, Bites at the Bay, our to-go restaurant for boaters delivered right to our docks, will be open 6 days a week this summer. We look forward to serving everyone and really showcasing what we can do.”

Both The Mountain View Grille and Bites at the Bay are anticipated to reopen by early to mid-June.
