The mission of the Aberdeen Family Y is to put
Christian principles into practice that build healthy spirit, mind,
and body for all.
The following YMCA rules have been established to ensure your
enjoyment and safety when using the facility. We expect our members
and guests to behave maturely, responsibly and respectfully and
therefore insist on your cooperation in observing these rules. We
will not tolerate conduct or language that is improper, threatening
or hazardous including but not limited to arguing, fighting, use of
profanity, indecent behavior or inappropriate sexual activity and
reserve the right to deny guest privileges, suspend or even terminate
a membership for failure to comply with these rules or for any other
reason.
The Y is driven by four core values:
caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility. We integrate these
values into all our programming, commit to modeling them as a staff,
and expect members and guests to exhibit them as well.
Please let the Y know if you or
your child has a disability requiring an accommodation. This
information enables the YMCA to better meet your needs or those of
your child, within available resources and to the extent reasonable.
The Y welcomes all who wish to
participate, and annually raises funds to help make that possible.
Through a fee structure based on family size and income, YMCA
programs are affordable to the entire community within the limits of
scholarship resources. Please let us know if we may serve you
or your family in this way. The YMCA is a nonprofit, charitable and
United Way affiliated agency.
Y's are volunteer-founded,
volunteer-based, and volunteer-led. We would not exist without our
volunteers. Y's mobilize more than 580,000 volunteers every
year, and our commitment to volunteers campaign recruits more every
day. Learn more HERE.
We are committed to helping our members make health and fitness part
of their lifestyle. However, if for any reason your membership to
YMCA does not meet your expectations you may cancel your membership
and receive a full refund as long as you have used the facility a
minimum of 10 times within these 30 days. All requests must be made
in writing to a Member Services Manager.

alone without a responsible adult, other than the child is enrolled
