Family and Special Events

The YMCA has great activities for the whole family to do together including many special events. Supporting and strenghtening the family unit is what our family programs are all about. Through YMCA activities, families build stronger bonds, achieve greater work/life balance, and become more engaged with their communities.

Program Fees

In our program brochures, you’ll find two fees listed for each program. Full Members receive priority registration and a lower fee on all YMCA programs. Those who just want to take programs, may do so by purchasing a Program Membership for one low fee each year. Additionally, Program Members pay a higher fee on programs.
