YMCA Membership Fees and Benefits
Membership in the Valparaiso Family YMCA is open to all persons and allows for the use of the entire building. Financial assistance is available for membership and program fees where need can be supported. While working out or taking a class, members may enjoy free Child Watch nursery care for their children up to age nine for up to 2 hours per day.
Members may pay for one year in full (monthly rate x 12) or choose to pay using the convenient monthly draft plan. A joiner's fee is required of all new members and those rejoining after a 30-day lapse period.

Extended Household Membership Benefit Option
Family, Single-Parent Family, Adult, and Senior draft memberships have the option of adding extended household members (those living in the household but do not meet the Family or Single-Parent Family definitions above) onto their monthly draft membership for a fee of $20 per person per month. Extended household members must provide address verification. Primary member is responsible for this added fee and must notify the YMCA of any household changes.
Notes
As YMCA operating expenses increase, expect modest price increases. The YMCA does not refund membership fees. Program fees are refundable only if the YMCA cancels the session. Credits are given for doctor substantiated reasons and then only for the portion of fees unused after written notification. Any check returned from the bank as unpaid due to insufficient funds or closed account will be subject to a $25.00 YMCA NSF fee. Denied membership drafts are also subject to a $25.00 YMCA NSF fee.
