As part of our commitment to protecting the children in our community, we are participating in the Five Days of Action - a week-long campaign to increase awareness of child sexual abuse and empower and equip us all to prevent it. Join Five Days of Action to help prevent child sexual abuse, April 13 - 17. By participating in this important campaign and implementing abuse prevention practices year-round, the Madison Area YMCA continues to commit to the safety of all children in our community; all day, every day.

Every day at the Madison Area YMCA, something remarkable happens: a child builds confidence, a teen discovers leadership, a senior finds connection, and a working parent gains peace of mind. None of it happens alone. It happens because of you, our amazing community of people who give back to ensure that our Y has been - and always will be - a support system for every family in our area. There truly is no place like this place because of generous individuals like you.

For the Spring Session, we offer a wide variety of 10-week programs organized into the following areas: Aquatics, Fitness, Gymnastics, School of Performing Arts, Special Needs, Sports, Y Ninja Gym, Youth & Family. We also invite you to participate in our weekly Summer Session mini-clinics, offering programs for all ages. Priority Member Registration opens Monday, March 16, at 9AM. Registration for All Opens Friday, March 20, at 9AM.
