Important Information Regarding Y Programs

Summer Camp Programs

Yes, the Y's summer camp programs are coming this summer! Though they may look a little different than they have in the past, the Y will still be here to offer enriching youth programs, just as we have the past 60 years. Y Summer Camps provide a safe, thriving environment for your child to learn, grow, and thrive. Through a variety of activities and projects, campers will explore personal interests and discover creativity, while making friends and lasting memories. Summer Camp will begin June 22, 2020! (Date subject to change.) 
This summer, all camps will operate in compliance with CDC guidelines and will follow strict health and safety procedures including health screenings, physical distancing, and increased sanitization practices.

Due to the current guidelines, Pioneers, Trailblazers, High Adventures, Junior Explorers, and Sparks Camps will not be offered as previously announced. An alternative summer camp experience will be offered with a reduced capacity, reduced number of locations, and without field trips. As always, our camps will continue to offer fun themes, memorable opportunities, and safe adventures. 

If your child is registered for camp from June 8 to June 19, you will receive a refund for those camp deposits. If your child is registered for a camp from June 22 and on, you will have the opportunity to request enrollment at the new camp, or to cancel your registration, if you choose to do so. (Due to the limited capacity, there will be a priority process for registrations, and we may be unable to grant all requests.)  

Summer Sports Seasons 

Fitness Facility

With the recent announcements by the State of California, we know that it is only a matter of time before our Y will only be able to offer outdoor and virtual fitness options. 

Effective July 16, 2020, we will take the Y outside of the building and offer many amenities for your use with the appropriate amounts of shade and spacing: 

 Cardio Equipment, including recumbent bikes, rowers and cycle bikes

• Strength Training Equipment, including free weights, barbells, and benches for weight training and functional fitness
• Group Fitness Classes
• Personal Training 
• SLO Swim Center 

Reservations for Group Exercise classes will still be required. Members will be allowed to use the restrooms within the facility. Locker rooms will be unavailable. All other policies & procedures for safety and wellness will remain the same. 

Additionally, we continue to offer our live online community - virtual group fitness classes and kids activities schedule will remain the same. These are included with your Y membership and accessible through MindBody. 

At this time the state order only affects indoor fitness operations. YMCA camps will continue as planned.

We understand that this is another sudden change for our Y family, but we are committed to serving our community's health and wellness needs. Please know that we will continue to do everything we can to restore indoor operations as soon as it is safely possible. 

Members have the choice to put your membership on hold. We will put your membership on hold at no charge, and you will not be charged monthly dues.

We appreciate your patience during these uncertain times and we hope to reopen indoor operations soon. We will be communicating updates as they become available.
