HOUSTON Good news from The YMCA of Greater Houston. They will reopen centers and some amenities on June 1, as part of of a phased plan to return to offering fitness-related programs and services.

The Y says they will continue to follow enhanced health and safety measures throughout this phased approach.

During this phase, amenities include:

Amenities and facilities available June 1 include:

For outdoor group exercise, lap swimming, summer day/teen camp or child care for essential personnel

For outdoor group exercise and lap swimming only

For summer day/teen camp (through September 1)

We are looking forward to seeing members June 1 swimming in the pool, doing group exercise outside and teens and children connecting with each other in a safe camp environment, said Stephen Ives, President and CEO, YMCA of Greater Houston. While things may not be the same, we have to adhere to social distancing and take precautions to do our part to keep the community safe.

YMCA of Greater Houston will announce reopen timing at a later date for other programs and services such as fitness centers, indoor group exercise, child watch, additional youth programs and more.

As we get more comfortable and understand the processes that need to take place and see how things happen in our community, we will gradually reopen much of what was happening before, Ives said.

He said all centers will comply with orders and recommendations set forth by Gov. Greg Abbott, Centers for Disease Control and local officials.

YMCA of Greater Houstons Summer Day Camp and Teen Camp teams are preparing for a safe summer experience for kids, though it will look different from summers past. The YMCA offers day camp for youth ages 5-11 and teen camp for youth 12-15. Additional details regarding registration and session dates can be found here.

As the Ys commitment to the community, the organization will not draft member dues for the month of June while the phased approach is being implemented. All active members whether on hold or contributing will be welcomed back. The Y is grateful to the members who have opted into contributions in support of our response efforts.

The reopened centers will operate Monday through Saturday, from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., with the exception for summer camps and child care. Schedules for outdoor group exercise and lap swimming will be available on the YMCA of Greater Houston website no later than Tuesday, May 26. Members and the community are encouraged to stay engaged through the virtual YMCA platform offering exercise classes, activities for kids and families, and multiple opportunities for connection.
