  • The group is only allowed in areas designated and reserved for the party.
  • At least one adult must stay with the party at all times. Pool parties may require additional adults.
  • The individual booking the party is responsible for the group’s conduct and all property and space used by the group, and must be over the age of 18.
  • The party room must be left in the same condition in which it was found prior to the party. In the event that facilities are left in a condition that requires more than normal cleaning, additional fees will be assessed.
  • The YMCA reserves the right to remove a group from the facility if the situation is deemed unsafe or if there is inadequate parental supervision. No refund will be given.
  • To respect the privacy of our members, all photographs and video recordings must be limited to the party room.
  • The YMCA is not responsible for items left on the premises. The Y assumes no responsibility for lost or stolen articles.

  • We do allow the hanging of decorations in our party rooms. No decorations hanging from the ceiling or tape on the walls though, please.
  • Your party is not considered booked until you have spoken with the party host, have an approved contract, and have made full payment.
  • Chaperones During Pool Rentals
    • Each group will be responsible for their conduct while in the facility and a competent leader, over the age of 18, will be the contact person.
    • The ratio of chaperones to participants will be 1 to 8 for ages 10 and under and 1 to 10 for ages 11 and over. Chaperones will be assigned to different areas of the YMCA based on group usage.
    • For pool parties, each group will have 1 adult, with their suit on and in the water, for every 3 kids aged 7 and under.
  • General Pool Rules During Rentals
    • All participants in a special event rental under the age of 13 must be swim tested to be in the deep end of the pool, regardless of swimming ability. If they have already taken the test, and are in our Membership Software as passed, they do not have to retake the test. All deep end swimmers should wear a wristband throughout the duration of the rental.
    • All YMCA pool rules are enforced during after-hours events.
    • Once all participants and chaperones have entered our building at the start of the rental, they should all come together with the YMCA staff to discuss rules, expectations, where certain activities will be held, and any safety considerations. All staff should also introduce themselves and field any questions the participants may have.
  • A climbing wall orientation is required for the group of active climbers (10-15 minutes in length). Orientation time will be included in the hour rental.
  • Athletic shoes are required (no sandals, boots, or crocs).
  • Shorts must be long enough to protect skin from the harness. Skirts, skorts or dresses are not allowed.
  • Participants must be 4 years of age or older to utilize the climbing wall.
    • Ages 3 & under may traverse boulder with a spotter (limited space for bouldering)
