Summer Family Fun at the YMCA

Summer Family Fun at the YMCA

We’re working hard to ensure that families can have fun all summer long at the Y. Here’s a list of everything that’s happening this summer at our YMCAs!

/ /

In celebration of our YMCA ‘s 170th birthday each of our 7 YMCAs will open its doors in July and August to the entire community at no charge to experience a select list of Y family activities for free.

A YMCA Family Membership has incredible value for less than $3 a day families can enjoy swimming, childwatch, family fitness classes, wellness center access and more at no additional cost and get cool discounts on summer camp youth sports and more.  

Days and times will vary by location, check out the lists below for all the Y family fun for members and the community. You can also receive a free Y 170 pass that is good for one week to keep or share with a friend.
