Summer Day Camp is Open For Registration

YMCA camps offer kids a chance to explore places, activities and ideas outside their normal lives. At camp, they discover new talents, new interests and new friends. We offer a huge variety of camp locations, options and formats, so no matter what your background or summer schedule, there’s a place for your kids at a Y camp.

Teen Referral Memberships

In a world full of isolation and unrest, it is more important than ever that we keep our young people engaged in positive experiences in healthy, safe environments. Our new initiative offers eligible young people ages 12-18 years old in our communities a FREE membership to access the Y’s fitness facilities, basketball courts, swimming pools, and so much more.

Help Us Help The Community

From board members to youth sports coaches to smiling greeters, volunteers are the heart of the Y. Becoming a volunteer allows individuals to give back and learn something about themselves in the process. After all, the Y is a nonprofit like no other. Get involved today!

Highlighting Our 2022 Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Efforts

In 2022, the YMCA of NWNC’s DEI committee made progress on its strategic priorities and prepared for further advancement of key areas in 2023. Progress included training, events, the launch of a new initiative, enhanced community programming and more.

Our Impact in 2021

In 2021, many organizations and businesses began to transition from responding to the early stages of a pandemic to cautious shifts to a new normal. The YMCA of Northwest North Carolina was no exception, adapting to an ever changing landscape and continuing to provide thoughtful, meaningful services to its members and community.

Our goal is to serve as many people in the community as possible that can benefit from our services. We can’t do that without your help.
