Holds - memberships can be put "on hold" (minimum of one month and no maximum number of months) for $5/month. No facility usage is available at any YMCA location during hold periods.

Household add-ons - add additional, non-dependent adults at an additional $25/month per adult. Children visiting and staying in the household (up to a three-month maximum) can be added for $10/month per child. Add-on individuals must reside at the same physical residence.
Monthly draft/annual-pay memberships - if paying via automatic monthly draft via checking/savings account or debit/credit card, it will draft continuously until we receive notification from the Primary Unit Holder that they wish to discontinue their membership. There is no contract commitment, and the membership can be ended providing the Primary Unit Holder notifies the Y by the end of the month immediately preceding the month they wish for the change to take effect. Payment information for monthly membership drafts is not able to be cancelled once the 1st of the month hits. Annual Pay memberships, once paid for the year, cannot be refunded.
Photographs - as a condition of membership, the Door County YMCA requires all members have a current picture on file attached to their membership record. Any adult who does not wish to have a picture on file will be required to produce a valid, government-issued photo ID - passport, state ID or driver's license - to gain access every time they enter any Door County YMCA facility.
Refunds - refunds for memberships are limited to the three most recent months following notification from the Primary Account Holder to the Y. Exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis through either branch's Membership Specialist or Membership Director. Medical documentation may be required in certain circumstances.
Returned payment fee - a returned payment fee of up to $30 may apply to returned payments that occur from a bank account or debit card if sufficient funds are not present on the day of your draft.
