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.
