Policies
Use of the Facilities by Children
Children 14 years and older are allowed to use the facilities without parental supervision during scheduled recreational periods. However, to provide a safe and enjoyable experience, children under 14 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian (18+) unless in an organized, supervised program such as youth sports, tumbling, martial arts or swim lessons. In the weight room, any child 11 years of age or under is not allowed whether accompanied by an adult or not; 12-14 year-olds must be accompanied by an adult. This is strictly a safety regulation.
Guest Member Privileges
All guests will be subject to guest member fees unless a special guest day is authorized.
Program Refund
Participants may request a full refund should a class be canceled or if they drop a class prior to the first scheduled class, however, if they attend the first class, a prorated refund will be given.

Bank Draft Cancellation Policy

Returned Checks and Bank Draft Policy
A $25 service fee will be charged on all returned checks and bank drafts. Returned checks will not be redeposited. Membership is canceled immediately upon notification that the check/bank draft has been returned and will remain canceled until payment has been collected. A returned check will result in cash only transactions thereafter. This YMCA supports the District Attorney in the Bogus Check Restitution Program. All returned checks are forwarded to the District Attorney's office for collection 5 working days after notification to the member. If a check is issued on a closed account, the membership is immediately canceled, and the check is turned over to the District Attorney with no five working day grace period. The member will be notified to contact the District Attorney' office to make good this transaction. Bank draft returns will be given five (5) working days from date of notification to make good the membership payment. If, after the agreed five days there is no response, joiner fees will be charged to reinstate membership.
