PROGRAM AREA UPDATES
MEMBERSHIP - YMCA NOW OPEN
We are looking forward to welcoming you back home to your YMCA! We have missed you so much! During our closure we have worked hard to be sure your Y is ready for you to return. Many of our locations are now open!
All group activities such as youth sports, swim lessons, youth programs, and senior programs will remain suspended during the first phase of reopening. Our Bullitt County and Middletown YMCAs remain closed.
If your membership was on hold or if you elected to donate half of your membership dues as a tax deductible donation during closure, your regular membership dues will resume with your June draft. If your local Y remains closed and you previously requested a hold, you will remain on hold at this time unless you request otherwise.
If you have questions regarding your YMCA membership, please call 502.587.9622 or email membership@ymcalouisville.org.
HEALTHY LIVING - FREE VIRTUAL RESOURCES FOR YOU
A limited number of Group Fitness classes are now available at most YMCA locations. Classes are restricted to no more than 10 participants to maintain social distancing requirements. Reservations are encouraged. The Y will continue to offer a full array of virtual opportunities to keep our community healthy in spirit, mind and body. We encourage you to check in to the Y virtually to access our collection of free virtual resources, including fitness classes, mindfulness and meditation resources, family activities, and more, to stay active and connected to the Y virtually during these difficult times.
SUMMER ADVENTURE UPDATE
Summer Adventure will begin in Kentucky on June 15. Due to differing state guidelines, full-day summer programs at Clark County will begin on May 18 and Floyd County on May 26. There are still spots available at many locations. Register online.Review our policies to keep your children and our staff healthy this summer.
We are working diligently to ensure a fun, safe, and healthy summer for children and staff at the Y. If you have already registered for camp, we kindly ask you to let us know if you still plan to attend for all the weeks for which you are currently registered, or if your summer plans have changed to help us be sure we plan appropriately.
If for any reason you are unable to attend a week for which you are registered, simply notify us one week before the start of that session to receive a full refund of all payments made or stop the upcoming draft payment. In order to plan appropriately for staff, supplies and capacities, it is critical we can accurately anticipate enrollment and attendance. If you do not contact us in advance, we will be unable to provide a credit/refund for any fees paid for that week.
YMCA CAMP PIOMINGO - SUMMER 2020 CANCELLED
After reviewing the ACA and CDC guidelines, we recognize that the quality camp programming and experience that we have been known for at YMCA Camp Piomingo would not be possible. Our inability to provide the high quality camping experience our campers, families and staff are accustomed to have lead us to the heartbreaking decision to suspending all 2020 summer programs. See more information.
YOUTH SPORTS UPDATE - ENROLLMENT OPEN FOR FALL SOCCER, SPRING AND SUMMER SPORTS CANCELLED
At this time, youth sports remain suspended. Spring and summer sports have been cancelled and credits will be applied to the accounts of those registered. Enrollment is now open for Fall Soccer, which is scheduled to begin in September. If circumstances require us to cancel upcoming sports seasons, you will receive a credit. Check out our youth sports programs!
SWIMMING/SWIM LESSONS - ENROLLMENT OPEN, CURRENT SESSIONS DELAYED
At this time, group swim lessons remain suspended through the end of July. Enrollment remains open for future sessions. If circumstances require us to delay or cancel additional sessions, you will receive a credit. Private swim lessons may be offered prior to the end of July at some locations. Learn more about swim lessons!
