For more information on additional payment options, please speak with one of our membership staff.


Summer memberships are similar to annual memberships. These are the only seasonal memberships that we offer at our YMCA. They can be paid with cash, card, or bank account. They are a one-time fee and then good for the Summer season.

30 Day Cancellation Policy

In order to prevent from being drafted again on your selected draft date, we must have you come into the Kearney Y facility to complete a Cancellation Form. If it is not 30 days prior to your draft date, there will be one final draft on the account or card. Cancellations are not accepted over the phone and must be completed by individuals listed on the unit/membership.

Moving to Another Y

If you are moving to a new location that has a YMCA you will need to make sure you are completing a Kearney Family YMCA Cancellation form prior to your move. Cancellation Policy does still apply.

Grace Period
After your membership ends, if you should decide to rejoin within the next 30 days we will waive the join-fee.

For Your Safety

Your membership is non-transferable. Members sharing their bar-code numbers or membership cards with others may have their membership terminated. Photos are required for active members.

All memberships are screened through the Sex Offender Registry to help create and maintain a safe environment for all our members of every age. Any individuals that do enter the facility that do appear on the registry will be asked to leave immediately.

Member and participant information is confidential and will only be provided to those on the account. (This includes usage, program registration, transaction history, etc.) All information remains with the Kearney Family YMCA and does not get shared with 3rd Parties.

Checking In

Members and guest are required to check-in upon arrival at the Welcome Center desk. Guest will be asked to sign the Guest Log Waiver upon each visit.

Members can check-in through three methods:

  • Mentioning their Last, First name to Welcome Center Staff

Should any behavior or language not follow the guidelines listed in the facility, we do reserve the right to ask individuals to leave the facility at any time. This will be documented for future purposed and can result in a temporary or complete suspension of the membership.
