Facility MembershipAt the YMCA, membership means friendship. The YMCA believes that we all need a place to belong. When you become a member of the YMCA, you will find programs and activities for every member of the family.
Ask about our Membership for All program, which is based on your total annual household income. Please stop by the Welcome Center for more information. Rates are available for Baytown only or for Citywide use of all YMCAs in the Greater Houston area. Additional adults may be added to memberships at an extra fee. Program MembershipFor those who want to participate in programs, but do not want to use the amenities the facility has to offer. A yearly, nonrefundable program membership fee of $30 gives you and your family access to programs designed for our program members. A.W.A.Y. (Always Welcome at YMCA)The Baytown Family YMCA participates in the YMCA of the USA's A.W.A.Y. program. The A.W.A.Y. program is based on the philosophy that when a person enrolls in a YMCA, he or she becomes a member of a nationwide association of people that helps build strong kids, strong families and strong communities, and, therefore, when away from home, on business or vacation, will be warmly welcomed by all other participating YMCAs in the United States. A YMCA's participation in this program is voluntary. Some restrictions apply.
