About Us   YMCA Mission Statement   Building Hours



YMCA Members and Potential Members,

Why do you belong to the YMCA? Health, Fellowship? Recreation? Family? Fun? We hope all those reasons are why you belong here. Summer is a great time to enjoy the YMCA with your children and friends. We have activities for all ages: camp, preschool adventure club, sports, tennis, the list goes on and on.

Your YMCA strives to be a center of activity for our entire community. We firmly believe in building strong kids, strong families, and strong communities. Every individual member at the YMCA helps us do that.

Thanks for being a part of this great movement. We look forward to serving you and your family. Have a great summer at the YMCA!


The mission of the Columbus Family YMCA is to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind, and body for all.

  Our Goal

Connect volunteers, staff and members to the YMCA. Bring awareness to our mission and purpose. Fulfill our role as a charitable, non-profit organization.

  Columbus Family YMCA Foundation

Did you know your YMCA has a foundation? Our Foundation exists to support and assist the Columbus Family YMCA in its mission by providing supplemental funding of YMCA programs and services and by other assistance in achieving quality YMCA programs. The foundation will help strengthen the YMCA for years to come. The YMCA Foundation can accept gifts of any type: bequests from a will, life insurance policy, memorial gifts, and outright gifts of cash or securities. Contact the YMCA to make a contribution.
