Monthly Rates

Membership at the Y is a continuous month-to-month membership. The cancellation policy requires notification by phone, email, or in-person before the last day of the month in which you would like to cancel the membership. Please inquire with Member Engagement for further information.

Monthly rates are based upon participation in automatic billing (EFT Bank Draft). To establish a monthly membership we need authorization to bill your checking / savings account or credit card.

There is a $10 per month additional fee for a one-month membership when not signing up for automatic payments. We do not accept cash payments. You can make payments with a credit/debit card or a check. Please note that a 2.5% service fee is added to all card transactions.

The join fee is a one-time fee unless a membership lapses. Join fee will be applied to any membership that has been inactive for more than 60 days.

Teen Wellness Orientation

Attending a Teen Wellness Orientation is required for members age 13 – 17 to use the Wellness Facility (Gymnasium and Second Floor) without adult parent or caregiver supervision. Wellness orientation helps teens learn about behavior expectations at the Y and welcome them into our community. 

Day + Time: Sessions are offered every other Thursday and Sunday from 4:00 – 5:00pm. Sign up through the link below, or through our Member Engagement staff.

Teens must attend orientation within 30 days of first check-in to have future access to the Wellness Floor and Gymnasium.
