Search ProgramsThe Sussex Family YMCA welcomes all Nationwide Y members from Labor Day to May 26th only. The summer months bring a large influx of vacationers, and our small facility simply cannot handle the large volume of people wanting to attend the Y. Additionally, June – August we host summer day camp at our facility and have more than 100 youth on-site during the week. Although we would like to welcome Y members from other areas year-round, we must limit visitors during the summer months to keep everyone safe, while being fair to our paying members and summer campers. We do offer day passes as well as weekly and monthly memberships and we also have summer memberships for those who are staying in our area for an extended time.
