The Merrimack Valley YMCA is comprised of three facility branches: the Lawrence Branch on Lawrence Street in Lawrence founded in 1880; the Andover/North Andover Branch on Haverhill Street in Andover built in 1975 and the Methuen Branch opened in 2003. The Y operates a Camping Services Branch with boys and girls resident camps on Bear Island, Lake Winnipesaukee and a day camp on Captain’s Pond in Salem, New Hampshire. The Housing and Community Services Branch provides housing and services to 73 homeless and near-homeless men. Last year the YMCA marked its 127th anniversary.
