It's Almost Time For Summer Camp
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.
Support Our Annual Impact Fund
When our families and neighbors thrive, our community is stronger. Right now, the need for stronger communities is greater than ever. When a neighbor needs support, the YMCA of Northwest North Carolina stands ready to help with open arms and caring hearts. With your support, we can ensure the organization’s sustainability and changing lives - while not forgetting people, connections, and hope are what matters most in our world today.
Spring Sports Registration is Open
Looking for a youth sports program that goes beyond the game? Through the guidance of our dedicated staff and volunteer coaches, athletes learn what true sportsmanship and teamwork look like—on and off the court or field. Practices start the week of March 23, so sign up today!
Membership Means More at the Y
All YMCA of Northwest North Carolina members have access to all of our locations and programs. With membership at one branch, you can enjoy full access and amenities at each of our 13 locations.
State-of-the-art fitness equipment
Members have access to quality equipment to help them meet their wellness needs — from cardio training to strength and conditioning, and everything in between.
Pools and exercise facilities
We have 13 branches across a seven county area, with multiple pools (indoor and outdoor!), basketball, racquetball and pickleball courts, training centers, saunas, and much more!
Free group exercise classes
Members get free access to hundreds of group exercise classes including Hot Yoga, numerous Les Mills classes like Body Pump and Body Balance, classes geared towards our Active Older Adults, water fitness classes, and more. Plus, our Virtual Y classes - online classes you can take in the comfort of your home!
Free childcare for members
Members with household memberships can bring their kids to our free Kids Zone (formerly called Child Watch) where we supervise children while parents are at the Y. Kids will play, learn and make friends!
