Joining the YMCA is simple! Visit any one of our 2 branches to receive a tour of the facility and to talk to a Member Service staff person about how membership in the YMCA can benefit you and your family. To get the process started, you can fill out a membership application online. Once completed, print the application out and and bring it to the branch you wish to join. It’s that easy! Applications are also available at both branches.
It is the philosophy of the YMCA to provide services for any person who desires to participate and understands the benefits of the YMCA, regardless of ability to pay the standard membership or program fee. Those not able to pay the fee may be awarded financial assistance based on the individual need and the ability of the YMCA to fund the subsidy.
During the months of December-March we do not allow 2 week free trials. Please contact our membership office if you have any questions.
