Cedar Rapids Metro YMCA

Welcome to the YMCA of the Cedar Rapids Metro Area

We're glad the YMCA is on your mind and that you are visiting our web site! Each branch offers many amenities as well as gives an important resource to the community it serves. We have many amazing programs available, too!

Our School Age Child Care and Summer Day Camp programs can be found in many schools in and around the Cedar Rapids/Marion area. YMCA Camp Wapsie is a place where kids and adults alike become magically engaged in activities close to nature. We have many Family Events and Activities that can help you keep in contact with your kids in a FUN environment. Keeping kids active is what our Youth Sports and Aquatics programs are all about as well as teaching them the importance of the YMCA Core Values of Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility. Our Adult Sports programs are all about the values as well. And finally, our Health and Wellness areas are staffed with individuals who can help you on your way to a healthy spirit, mind and body for years to come.

Tours are available whenever our facilities are open, so please feel free to stop by for a visit. Remember, when you join one of our full-service YMCAs you join them all! If you're already a YMCA Member, thank you for your friendship. We're proud of our organization and its role in the community. We are devoted to building strong kids, strong families, and strong communities.

And finally, check out our YMCA News Area below. It will have the most up-to-date information regarding YMCA happenings.
Respectfully,

Bob Carlson

• The Program Guide is going GREEN!
The Summer 2008 Program Guide is going electronic! The YMCA is committed to providing you with the most up-to-date and accurate information. We are saving trees and going almost paperless for the first time.

So, beginning with the Summer 2008 Program Guide, we will no longer be sending Program Guides to member homes. AND, for the Fall 2008 Program Guide, we will be TOTALLY paperless.

You can see the current Program Guide on our Programs Page by either clicking on the 'YMCA Programs' link at the right or on the above link.

If you'd like to be added to a Program Guide Reminder List, simply send us an email letting us know your email address and we will send you a reminder with the Program Guide comes out.
