Get ready for a lively summer season at your Y, as we welcome campers for our full-day summer camp.
This new summer camp program reflects our purpose of elevating the quality of life in Greater Austin by expanding access for all children, adults, families and seniors.
To make this a success, we want to share a few important updates that may affect your visit to the Y:
- Peak Impact: Parents drop off campers between 7:00 am – 9:00 am and pick up between 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm, so be prepared for more traffic during those hours.
- Parking Update: Parking at the Program Center will not be available from June 2-August 8. However, additional parking is available in the gravel lot next door for your convenience.
- Group Fitness Schedule: You may notice some adjustments to the group fitness class schedule starting May 27th to better accommodate all members and campers. Please check the updated schedule on our website or app.
- Pool & Gym Schedule: You may notice adjusted hours to pool spaces and basketball courts during the day to accommodate summer camp activities. Please check the website or app for the most updated schedules.
- Increased Activity: With young campers on site, there may be more energy and activity in and around the facility during the day.
- Weather Contingency: In case of inclement weather, campers may temporarily use additional indoor spaces throughout the building.
We deeply appreciate your patience and flexibility as we introduce this exciting new program. Your support helps us continue to grow and serve more families in our community—thank you for being a vital part of it.
