The Strong Kids Campaign is the Y's annual fundraiser that helps families afford memberships and programs at the Y. These opportunities can make all the difference for families on limited budgets - giving them access to the state-of-the-art facility, quality programs and, most importantly, a place for healthy activities together.

Camps are filled with new activities, challenges and friends while incorporating the YMCA values of respect, responsibility, honesty, caring and faith.

Sponsorship packages provide ample publicity for your business or organization as well as support for YMCA youth activities year-round, from teaching a child to swim to helping a teen learn to lead and feel success. Every child deserves a chance to realize their full potential.

STAY CONNECTED TO THE Y
Another great reason to belong to the YMCA. 
We want to encourage members to utilize the Y as often as they can. Sometimes, it's more convenient for members to utilize a Y in a different location when traveling, near a workplace or in another region.
Now, full facility/full privilege YMCA members have the flexibility to use other Y facilities throughout the state, at no extra charge.
HOW IT WORKS
Simply present your active YMCA membership card and photo ID at any participating YMCA and enjoy free access. Click here to see complete Program Details.

SAUNA / STEAM ROOM BENEFITS

Did you know that more time in the sauna could lower your risk of premature death. 

When researchers looked at the habits of 2, 315 middle-aged men, they found that those who logged four to seven weekly sessions were 50% less likely to develop fatal cardiovascular diseases and 40% less likely to die young. The longer the session (up to 35 minutes), the greater the benefits. 

Women are likely to see similar results - which, by the way, have nothing to do with sweating out toxins. Sauna time raises your heart rate to levels on par with moderate-intensity exercise, the researchers say.
