YOU NEED TO KNOW
     WELCOME We are excited to have our doors open and welcoming our community and members into our buildings. We have adjusted
     available services, reduced capacity, and launched new policies and procedures to ensure safety of you and our staff.

     BEFORE VISITING THE YMCA We have pulled together some helpful information about what to expect, what to bring, and how
     you can help to keep us all safe.
     Stay Home if You’re Sick: Members should stay home if not feeling well. The CDC and public health officials encourage seniors and
     members of vulnerable populations, including those with underlying health conditions, to continue to stay home.
     Keep Your Distance: Exercise on designated equipment only and respect all signs regarding social distancing. Stay at least six feet away
     from others wherever possible.
     Wipe Down Equipment: Help us reduce the risk of exposure by wiping down all equipment, weights, mats, etc. with the provided cleaning
     materials.
     Bring These Items: Please bring your membership key tag and a towel from home.
     Welcoming Our Youth: Children 8 years and older can use the facility on their own. Youth under the age 7 are welcome and must be
     accompanied by an adult member age 19+ at all times, or enrolled in a program and under direct supervision of staff.
     Helping You Stay Connected: We continue to evaluate and review our guidelines based on local, state and national health guidelines and
     recommendations. Information is subject to change and will be updated on our Facebook page and website.

                                                                            2021 | FALL SESSIONS
