Together, the nation's more than 2,500 YMCA's are the largest not-for-profit community service organizations in America, working to meet the health and social service needs of 18.9 million men, women and children in 10,000 communities in the United States. Y's are for people of all faiths, races, abilities, ages and incomes. No one is turned away for inability to pay. YMCA's strength is in the people they bring together.
Because all communities have different needs, all YMCA's are different. A YMCA in your community may offer child care or teen leadership clubs. A Y in the next town may have swimming lessons or drawing classes. Every Y makes its own decisions on what programs to offer and how to operate.
The YMCA Cape Cod is a valuable community resource for all people regardless of age, gender, religion or economic level. We welcome all people to our many diverse classes, programs and special events held throughout Cape Cod.
Our main facility is located on Route 132 in West Barnstable. This site features 2 swimming pools, a fitness center, cardio room, child care classes, a large multi-purpose room, outdoor basketball and foursquare court, and our business offices. Programs held here range from swimming lessons for infants to fitness programs for older adults.
Our Camp Lyndon Center in Sandwich is a beautiful location that is used for summer day camp as well as many year-round programs for youth, teens and adults, including after school enrichment programs and our Lorusso Child Care Center.
The YMCA Cape Cod has merged with the Diabetes Education Center of Cape Cod (DECCC) to help build strong kids, strong families, and strong communities by developing programs which cater to the health and wellness of our members and program participants. Please stop in our West Barnstable facility and speak with Megan Benvenuto, the Diabetes Coordinator to find out how the YMCA Cape Cod can help you lead a better life with diabetes. Or you may contact Megan at 508-362-6500 x102 or email her at mkbenvenuto@yahoo.com.
In addition to our three locations, we offer satellite fitness, child care and aquatics programs in swimming pools, community centers and churches throughout Cape Cod. Satellite child care centers include YMCA Lorusso Center in Sandwich, and YMCA Child Care at St. Peters Lutheran Church in Harwich.
We invite you to be part of the YMCA family here on Cape Cod. Whether you are a member, volunteer, staff person or program participant we are glad you are part of the many magical experiences that everyone at the YMCA makes possible everyday.
