YMCA Membership Information
Men, women and youth of all ages are welcome to participate in YMCA programs and activities, regardless of age, gender, race, faith or nationality. The Family YMCA at Tarrytown is a local charity that receives no funding from the National YMCA. Contributions from our donors enable us to provide financial aid for programs, services, and memberships to income-qualified families and individuals. Please contact Melissa Weaver at (914) 631- 4807, ext. 14, for more information.

The YMCA welcomes all who wish to participate in our programs, and annually raises Scholarship Funds through our Strong Kids Campaign and other fund raisers, to help make that possible.  Financial Aid for membership and program fees is available for free and reduced lunch recipients, and for other income qualified individuals. 

Corporate Memberships
This program allows your corporation or business to build good will and demonstrate civic leadership by giving back to the community. The YMCA wants to increase both membership and volunteerism. Through this program your employees become members of the YMCA and have total use of the facility and availability of programs with no restrictions on usage or hours.  This is the membership aspect.  As part of the program, employees must volunteer for a YMCA program, event or committee. This is the giving back to the community aspect. Program is open to employees and their families. For further information, contact Sandra Wingate at (914) 631-4807 ext. 10 or Gerry Riera at ext. 17.

Silver Sneakers
The Silver Sneakers program is a great way for seniors to stay in shape, increase energy and feel good. If you are 65 years or older and are Medicare-eligible, you may qualify for a free membership to the Family YMCA at Tarrytown through the Silver Sneakers Program. For more information, contact Sandra Wingate at (914) 631-4807, ext. 10.

Refunds
Program fees are refundable if requests are made at least one week prior to the first day of classes, for classes the YMCA cancels, and for documented medical reasons. Unless the YMCA cancels a class, a $10 processing fee is charged for all refunds.  Membership Fees are not refundable.

Program Registration
All our group exercise classes, lap swim and recreational swim programming is free to members. Members are entitled to register and pay for the following YMCA programs and activities: YMCA Daycare, Youth Sports, Dance Classes, Theatre Classes, Preschool Enrichment (Tumble Tots), and YMCA Swim Lessons: Parent/Child, Preschool and Youth. Prior to each Program Session, the following opportunities for registration are available:

Priority Registration is for members who are currently participating in programs, and occurs approximately three weeks prior to the beginning of a new session. Members may only register for programs scheduled on the same day and time as currently registered.

Change Days occur after all priority participants have had the opportunity to register, and are available for those wishing to transfer registration to another day and/or time, without incurring the $10.00 change fee.

Family Priority Registration is for those holding Family Memberships, and who are not currently enrolled in programs and activities. Only eligible members may register during these two days, approximately two weeks prior to a new session.

Open Registration begins with a one-day event, held Saturdays, for those members and non-members wishing to register for YMCA programs and activities. Non-members may purchase memberships at this time. Registration begins at 8:00 a.m. Those wishing to
register for youth swim lessons (our largest program) may wish to arrive early. Registrations are taken by number (first come, first served) and numbers are given out beginning at 7:00 a.m. when the building opens. Open Registration continues through the beginning of the session. Program registration will not be accepted after the fourth week of classes.

NOTE;  If you have a child currently enrolled in a class and would like to enroll a sibling, please contact
the Program Director of that particular program (e.g. Aquatic Director) for special sibling priority
registration.

Childcare, art and dance classes, and the pool are typically closed the last week of August into the first week of September for cleaning and maintenance. 

YMCA Sessions and Registration Information:

The YMCA Values
The YMCA is committed to providing character development opportunities for everyone we serve.  The fundamental values associated with strong character are Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility.  It is our goal to model and teach these values in all of the activities and programs the YMCA provides.  We respectfully request that members allow these values to govern behavior while participating in YMCA programs and activities.

YMCA Service Area and Use of Other Ys
The Family YMCA at Tarrytown is pleased to provide YMCA programs and activities to residents of Westchester Historic River Towns spanning Peekskill to Hastings-on-Hudson, including:  Ardsley, Briarcliff Manor, Buchanan, Cortlandt, Cortlandt Manor, Crompond, Croton-on-Hudson, Crugers, Dobbs Ferry, Eastview, Elmsford, Hastings-on-Hudson, Irvington, Maryknoll, Montrose, Ossining, Peekskill, Pocantico Hills, Scarborough, Sleepy Hollow, Tarrytown and Verplanck. 

Through an initiative we call “Y Without Walls,” we are willing and able to offer many of our programs, especially group exercise programs for seniors, locally in your community if it falls in our service area.   Please contact Gerry Riera, extension 17 with program ideas and opportunities.

Our Y is a participating member of "Y Away," which enables our active members in good standing to visit and use other "Y Away" facilities (located more than 50 miles away) at no charge.  Recently, we also joined a group of New York State Ys in a reciprocal membership program.  Participating Ys in Upstate NY and Westchester County will offer reciprocal memberships to all full time Y members. When you join our YMCA, you’re welcome at all Y’s listed in the attached flyer.

Emergency Closings
The YMCA will make every effort to announce emergency program cancellations and closures on the top of the Home Page of this website (although there may be exceptions when we are unable to post in time). Swimming lesson participants who have provided us with email contact information, will receive an email notification.  For closures related to inclement weather, including lightning and thunder that close the pool temporarily, we will offer make-up classes during buddy swim week.  Class credits will only be issued in the event that we have to cancel swimming lessons on a particular day, more than once in a session.  Refunds will not be issued.  

Financial Aid
Through the generosity of our contributors, the Family YMCA at Tarrytown is pleased to offer financial aid opportunities for all income-qualified families and individuals.  Our mission ensures that no eligible individual or family will be turned away.  Financial aid packages are available for all levels of membership and all programs.  Aid packages are valid for one year from application.  Please contact Aquatics Director/Financial Aid Administrator Melissa Weaver at (914) 631-4807 ext. 14 for more information or click here for general financial aid application.  Click here for DAYCARE/AFTER SCHOOL CARE/CAMP financial aid application.

YMCA Volunteer Opportunities
The strength of our organization largely depends upon volunteers.  From those on the Board of Directors, who set the policies and direction that govern our future, to those raising needed funds, teaching classes or caring for kids, each makes a difference in the lives they touch and more broadly for the YMCA as a community center.  Volunteer opportunities abound at the YMCA, and we are always on the lookout for good people.  If you’re interested, please call Lesa Dalton (914) 418-5563.

Payment Methods:
Personal Checks for more than $10.00 are accepted with a valid driver’s license and one major credit card as identification.

Credit Cards may be used to purchase memberships, program registrations or sales items.  VISA, MasterCard and American Express are accepted.

Monthly Credit Card Draft allows one-twelfth of your annual membership to be charged automatically to your VISA, MasterCard or American Express account each month.  Draft payments are continuous, do not end after one year, and renewal reminders are not issued.  The Initiation Fee is added to the first month’s payment amount.  All changes to your credit card account status, including receiving a replacement card for an expired credit card, should be immediately reported to Cheryl Cappello ext. 21 so that your account does not unnecessarily or mistakenly fall into arrears (which causes us to cancel your membership).  Cancellation requests must be received by the last day of the month in order to avoid the next month's automatic draft payment.  All current membership cards must accompany a completed Draft Termination Form to complete the termination. 

Health, Safety, Security and Convenience
The YMCA is committed to providing a safe and welcoming environment for all members and guests. To promote safety and comfort for all, we ask individuals to act appropriately at all times when they are in our facility or participating in our programs. For more information, please review our YMCA Member Handbook.

Please feel free to communicate with us by telephone at (914) 631-4807, by facsimile at (914) 631-4841, or by email at info@ymcatarrytown.org. We welcome your comments and suggestions for improvement.
