YOUR MEMBERSHIP ISN'T JUST GOOD FOR YOU,
IT'S SOMETHING GREAT FOR ALL OF US!
​
​Belonging to the Y is belonging to a purpose that is much more than a “swim & gym.” Your membership supports a healthy lifestyle, youth programs, swim lessons, childcare, summer camp, senior programs and so much more! The Y is a great place to work out, learn new life skills, and spend quality time with friends and family. The Y brings everyone together and builds strong communities.
We offer two membership types: Annual and 3-Month. Each offers different benefits but an Annual Membership gives you the most value.

Membership Rates, Guest Passes, Fees, and Payment Policies
2025 Membership Rates
Membership Payment: Three-month memberships are due in full at sign-up. Annual memberships at the YMCA can be paid in full at sign-up or by monthly automatic payment using a debit or credit card. Our monthly draft system is a flexible and convenient way to pay directly from your savings/checking account or credit/debit on your choice of the 1st or 15th of the month. We will prorate your first month of an annual membership based on the date you join.
Joiner Fee: The Waldo County YMCA charges a Join Fee for all short term memberships and when activating a new or lapsed annual membership. We will waive the Join Fee for members in the same household activating a second annual membership or for members transferring an active membership from another YMCA. This fee supports ongoing improvements and equipment purchases for the YMCA.
Membership For All: We offer reduced monthly rates for annual memberships based on gross household income. If this will help membership fit your budget, please fill out an application.
​
Shower Pass: Non-members and visitors may utilize the YMCA showers for $5. This does not include facility access.
Gift Certificates: YMCA gift certificates are available at the Front Desk. They are neither transferable nor refundable.
​
Refunds/Holds/Cancellations: Membership fees are neither refundable nor transferable. Program fees may be refundable prior to the session start except for non-refundable deposits. Memberships may be put on hold for up to three months for medical reasons. We ask for 15 days written notice to change or terminate a membership account.
​
Rate Changes: The Waldo County YMCA may, at their discretion, adjust the membership rates applicable to any membership category. The YMCA will post these adjustments at least four (4) weeks prior to any such change.
MAKING MEMBERSHIP POSSIBLE FOR ALL.
We want the Waldo County YMCA to be affordable to everyone in our community. How do we do this? We keep our membership rates as low as possible. We also offer a percentage reduction based on gross household income through our Membership For All program. If this will help you, please fill out an application at our welcome center.
