Our YMCA is committed to providing essential services to more than 6,000 members, and we make every effort to remain open during inclement weather. However, the safety of our members, children, and staff is always our top priority. Weather conditions and travel safety are carefully considered when making operational decisions, and closures or delayed openings may occur when conditions warrant.

Weather Emergency Levels & YMCA Closures

Snow emergency levels and decisions regarding full-facility YMCA closures, delayed openings or other weather-related operational changes will be discussed and evaluated by the Operational Team. Final decisions regarding YMCA operations and closures will be made by the YMCA Chief Executive Officer.

The YMCA will communicate operational changes through the YMCA website, Facebook page and other appropriate communication channels.
