Closures and Inclement Weather | While the YMCA will make every attempt to open or remain open in inclement weather, it reserves the right to delay opening, close early, or remain closed if the weather is serious enough to put our staff and members at risk. Further, if a paid program is canceled due to a closure, the class will typically be offered at a make-up day and time. If circumstances prohibit a make-up from being held, the Y may prorate class to reflect the actual classes offered for that session, if requested.
Cross Branch Utilization | Members of Crossroads YMCA are welcome to visit any branch within the association. We ask that at least 50% of your membership unit’s total monthly visits be to your primary branch (the branch that collects your membership dues). When primary branch visits fall below 50%, you will be asked to either utilize your primary branch above 50% or change your primary branch to the branch being used more frequently.
