Welcome to the Winston Lake Family YMCA

The Winston Lake Family YMCA is in the heart of the East Winston community. Here, we are committed to making your experience at the Y the best possible. We offer a family-oriented atmosphere and activities for people of all ages. When you walk through these doors, you become a part of that family. Our offerings include sports, aquatics, after school academy, day camps during the summer, a wellness center, group exercise classes, and personal training. 

As of July 1, construction has begun at the YMCA REACH Center at Winston Lake and operations have been suspended temporarily. We have a great partnership with Greater Community Missionary Baptist Church enabling us to continue offering our Silver Sneakers, Group Exercise, and Active Older Adults classes and events in our community and with the community built at Winston Lake. More information is available here.

Support the Y

At the Y, strengthening community is our cause. You can help kids learn, grow and thrive, as well as ensure no one is ever turned away due to the inability to pay. Donations provide financial assistance to make Y programs available to everyone in our community.

Every gift makes a difference. Everyone has a role to play. Together, we can do so much more.
