Due to current restrictions, the inability to offer childcare, and limited program offerings for the age group; the YMCA is not currently admitting children under the age of 5. We will continue to reevaluate this policy in the months ahead.
MEMBERSHIP OPTIONS
Monthly Perpetual Bank Draft (Sign-up online or in person):
This is our most popular membership option. Your membership will automatically draft from your bank or credit card account on the 1st of the month or the next business day if the 1st falls on a banking holiday. The draft continues perpetually until you submit a written request to either cancel or temporarily hold the membership.
3 Month (Sign-up available in person only):
3 month memberships are a great option for short term stays in the area; ideal for senior snowbirds, college students, or seasonal staff. The membership starts on the date of purchase and is valid for 3 months from that date. Temporary holds cannot be placed on this type of membership.
Annual (Sign-up available in person only):
Ready to make a full commitment to being part of the YMCA? An annual membership offers the greatest savings and is the perfect way to utilize funds from your HSA or flex-care account. The membership starts on the date of purchase and is valid for 1 year from that date. Temporary holds cannot be placed on this type of membership.
Do not utilize the online sign-up for a paid membership if you are rejoining or have belonged to another YMCA otherwise you will be charged the Capital Improvement Fee or "Join Fee."
