Do I have to make an appointment for a facility tour?
Facility tours are walk-in and are available from open to 15 minutes before we close. We recommend a full facility tour so that you’re aware of all of the great programs and services the YMCA offers. Tours are free to the public. The tour takes about 15 - 20 minutes and the whole family is invited to participate.


How do I become a member of the YMCA?
Feel free to take a tour of the YMCA branch of your choice any time during operating hours. As a new member, you will need to complete a membership application and pay an initial joining fee and the first month dues to get started. The YMCA requires no contracts and typically sets new members on a monthly bank draft payment plan.
