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.

Baytown Family YMCA Guests

The YMCA is a membership facility. Guests must be accompanied by a current Baytown Family YMCA member. Guest passes are available at the Welcome Center. All guests must complete an information form. A current photo ID is required to enter facility. Guests under age 16 may not use the Wellness Center.

All guests are given a maximum of 3 visits per calendar year. All guests 17 years and younger must have a parent/guardian tour the facility and sign a waiver. Youth ages 9-17 MUST have a parent or guardian with them at all times while in the facility. Special circumstances such as out-of-town guests who will be visiting more than 3 times will need to make prior arrangements with the Membership Director.

Family participation is encouraged! Children ages 9 through 12 may use the cardiovascular equipment with a guardian present. The parent/guardian must remain side-by-side with the child/children for the duration of their workout.
