The 3 C’s of Staying Healthy

Stop the Spread of Germs

The Sheridan County YMCA Board continues to thoughtfully and intentionally discuss the current situation and risk in our organization.  As of Tuesday, July 7 the Y will no longer sell day passes, punch passes or monthly memberships to any out-of-county residents. Johnson County YMCA members will still be able to access our facilities. For those individuals that live in-county we will ask you to answer several screening questions.

Thank you for assisting us in this ever-changing situation of COVID 19.
