Policies

Animals | Animals are not allowed inside Crossroads YMCA facilities unless it is a service animal, police animal, or part of a Crossroads YMCA approved program or event.

Attire | The YMCA is a family-friendly facility; please dress appropriately. Athletic shoes must be worn on wood floors. Proper swimsuits must be worn in pool areas. Open-toed shoes are prohibited in the fitness centers. Garments that have pictures and/or writing that are vulgar, suggestive, indecent or otherwise offensive are not allowed.

Bank Draft Cancellation | To cancel your membership, a cancellation form must be completed, located at the member service desk. The cancellation form must be submitted at least 30 days prior to cancellation date.

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.

Crossroads YMCA | The Crossroads YMCA is an association that includes locations in Lake County, Indiana. Crossroads YMCA members can participate at any location and sign up for programs at any branch, not just their home branch

YMCA memberships are nontransferable. The YMCA conducts regular sex offender screenings on all members, participants, and guests. If a match occurs on the registry, the YMCA reserves the right to cancel membership, end program participation, and remove visitation access. The YMCA has the right to suspend and/or terminate any membership/ program participation at any time. Members must present their membership card or verify their identity for entry into any facility. The management of the YMCA has the right to suspend and/or terminate any membership for nonpayment of fees.
