General Information & Our Values

We believe that every child, family and community is precious and the organizations in the community should foster harmony and growth. The YMCA of the Northwoods’ mission statement, vision, and program goals are based on the following guidelines.

Self Worth
From children to seniors, people are recognized in the Y for their uniqueness, which, in turn, enhances their sense of self their value. It might be a teen elected club president, a fund-raising volunteer winning The Best Campaigner award, or a young child successfully swimming across the pool for the first time and being promoted to the next higher level of swim instruction.

Christian Principles
Y’s encourage people to develop their faith, though the Y does not promote a specific religion, the Y is a faith-based organization. It does not apologize for that but instead celebrates its Christian heritage and prides itself on being a place where people of many different religions can come together.

Positive Relationships
The Y is a community service organization and as such encourages civic responsibility and service to the community. The Y enables people to make a positive contribution to the world while strengthening their own family relationships.

Holistic Health
The Y created the three-sided triangle logo to point out the relationship among the health of spirit, mind, and body. Educating and enabling people to practice healthy habits is an important way the Y fulfills its mission.

International Awareness
The Y is a worldwide organization, and it is the responsibility of every Y to help educate its community about the larger community of the world. Awareness leads to understanding and only where there is understanding can there be peace.

Leadership and Service
Since its earliest days, the Y has been a source of leadership development. Leadership development knows no limit of age children, teens, young adults and seniors all have the capacity to enhance their leadership skills and become servant leaders.

Environmental Stewardship
With its commitment to preserving natural resources and teaching environmental education, the Y believes that we must all take care of the world and its resources. We are responsible for God’s world and enabling future generations to enjoy its beauty and resources.

The YMCA is committed to keeping programs accessible and affordable for all, but many families and individuals need financial assistance to participate. Your generosity ensures that:

  • Children learn, play, and grow in safe, nurturing environments.
  • Families stay active and connected, regardless of financial challenges.
  • Seniors find community and support, improving health and well-being.
  • Our community thrives, because everyone has a place at the Y.

Low Program Enrollment

The YMCA is committed to providing high-quality programs that meet the needs of our community. To maintain program integrity and ensure a positive experience for all participants, the following policy applies:

  • Minimum Enrollment Requirement: Each program must meet a minimum enrollment threshold to operate effectively.
  • Cancellation Due to Low Enrollment: Programs that do not meet this requirement may be canceled.
  • Notification Process: All registered participants will be notified promptly if a program is canceled.
  • Decision Timeline: Enrollment will be reviewed during the first week of each session, and cancellation decisions will be finalized at that time.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work to deliver meaningful and sustainable programs for our community.

Inclement Weather

In the case of a Winter Storm Warning, if the school is cancelled by the district, the YMCA will cancel offerings until 1:00 pm. The status of afternoon/evening offerings will be announced no later than 1:00 pm. For classes and offerings that begin before the school district announces if they are delayed or closing (offerings that start before 7:00 am), a determination will be made by 7:00 pm the prior evening if the early morning classes will be cancelled. The facilities and childcare will remain open. If school is canceled, School’s Out Day will still be offered at the Rhinelander Beck Family Center.

All cancellations are posted on our Facebook page and website. Refunds, Credits, and make-up classes will not be offered because of inclement weather cancellations.
