May – September: Nation Wide Membership and Guest Passes

The Sussex Family YMCA does not participate in the Nationwide Membership program or accept free guest passes from May – September.

The summer months bring a large influx of vacationers to the Sussex YMCA. 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.

Sussex YMCA vacation passes are available for Nationwide YMCA members at 50% off and can be purchased in-person at the branch. YMCA membership cards and a valid ID are required at each visit to determine eligibility.

• Vacation Day Pass (Nationwide Members Only): $12.50 (regularly $25 per person)
• Vacation Week Pass (Nationwide Members Only):
  $25/youth (regularly $50);
  $50/individual (regularly $100);
  $100/family (regularly $200)

*Vacation week passes provide unlimited access to the Y for 7 days. Family is defined as parent/guardian(s) and dependent children under the age of 26. If you are a member of any YMCA of Delaware location, use of the Sussex Family YMCA is included in your membership. 

Y Market

Stop by the Y Market to shop for unique items and support local artists and vendors.

The Y Market is open on the first Sunday of every month from May through September from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Interested in being a vendor? Vendor spaces are $50. This event is rain or shine!

Kids’ Club

YMCA Kids’ Club provides a secure, engaging space for children ages 6 weeks to 11 years while parents enjoy YMCA facilities. Available at most YMCA of Delaware locations, Kids’ Club offers fun activities tailored to every age group. Kids’ Club is a free service for members with Adult Plus Children memberships. Enjoy up to 2 hours of care per day—an incredible value of up to 60 hours of childcare each month, worth more than $900 per child!
