The Sussex Family YMCA does not participate in the Nationwide Membership program 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.

302 Tread-a-Thon

May 5th 

Join us in our commitment to serving the local 302 community by participating in our 302 Tread-a-Thon!

We’re doing things a little differently this year. Go ahead and pick YOUR favorite way to “tread” then ask friends and family to sponsor you with a donation to the Sussex Y community campaign. They can sponsor you per minute, per mile, or with a flat donation as you “tread” your way towards building brighter futures in Delaware!

Here’s how it works. During the two week period of May 5-May 19:

• Tread Water in the pool for 30 minutes x 2
• Tread on foot either Running or Walking on the treadmill (or outside) logging 3.02 miles a day or a commit to a total of 30.2 miles

Sponsorship forms are available at the front desk or ask us how you can set up a personal fundraising page online and skip the step of collecting all those donations in person. It couldn’t be any easier!

How will YOU Tread 302?
