Youth Program Registration Process

Big news for our families—Youth Development Program Registration just got easier!

Beginning February 11, Youth Development programs at The Hamilton Area YMCA will transition to an ongoing registration system that provides you with more flexibility, easier access, and a smoother experience all year long.

What this means for your family:

• Flexible start dates -  Jump in whenever it works for you. No more worrying about missing registration windows.
• Consistent connection - Ongoing enrollment helps kids build skills, confidence, and friendships week after week.
• Predictable monthly billing - Simple, steady payments with no surprises.
• Stronger, more stable classes - helping us grow our programs and serve even more youth in our community.

This new registration option is available to Community Members and Y Members.

Together, we’re creating a more supportive experience—so every child can learn, grow, and thrive at the Hamilton Area YMCA.

Getting started is easy! Just register for the Youth Development program that aligns with your child’s interests and your family’s schedule.

If you register now:

• Automatic payments will begin on March 1, with billing on the first of each month.

If you register on or after March 1:

• You’ll pay a prorated amount for the current month, then move to monthly billing on the first of each month.

There are no contracts and no cancellation fees. Need to make a change? Just let our Youth Development Director know with 30 days’ notice before billing, and that's all it takes.

What about swim lessons?

Our Swim Lesson programs will continue to use session-based registration, just as they always have. This approach allows swimmers to progress together, build skills safely, and celebrate milestones as a group, while giving families clear start and end dates to plan around. Same great swim experience, same trusted structure!
