The YMCA is a membership organization open to all people regardless of race, sex, age, ethnicity, religion or economic circumstance. Programs and branches embrace diversity, reflecting the needs and composition of the communities they serve. Financial assistance, to the extent possible, is available for those in need.
The Rappahannock Area YMCA allows unlimited use of two facilities for its members, including most health and wellness programs. Speciality classes and programs with fees are offered at a lower rate to members.

Non-member program registration is available for those participants who wish to sign-up for YMCA programs such as swim lessons, youth league sports, group exercise classes (drop-in), before/after school programs, summer camps, and more. Non-member program participants pay a slightly higher rate for the selected offering.

The Rappahannock Area YMCA is a participating YMCA of the National A.W.A.Y. Program which is a nationwide visiting member program. Out of town YMCA members may use our facilities at no charge, but must present their membership card from their local YMCA and must complete a Guest Pass Form. The number of visits allowed is at the discretion of the Executive Director.

Each YMCA is designed to serve the community and neighborhood in which it resides. Facilities vary in both size and in scope of program offerings. However, a membership to the Rappahannock Area YMCA entitles the participant to full access to all branches that fall within the association’s domain.
Membership dues include a one-time joining fee and monthly dues.
The YMCA offers its members a monthly bank draft plan to pay for dues. Simply authorize the YMCA to draft your checking, savings, or credit card account for your monthly payment and it will be automatically withdrawn on the 1st or 15th of each month (subject to your bank’s participation in ACH). The YMCA accepts Visa/MasterCard.
Draft memberships will not expire until you give written notification to discontinue at least 30 days in advance. The YMCA requires no contract or lengthy commitment to be eligible for membership to its facilities.
12-month advance memberships may be purchased to the YMCA if you do not wish to sign up using the monthly bank draft plan.
