ANNUAL SUMMER RECESS 

There will not be a summer recess in 2021

Our commitment to our members is to provide the best experience and during the 2019 two-week Summer Recess, staff members and vendors worked on over 300 projects ranging from repairs, preventative maintenance, and facility investments and enhancements.

Some of the projects that will be completed during these two-weeks include:

New...Better...Cleaner...Safer

During our 2019 Summer Recess, the West Cook YMCA will close our facility, so staff and vendors can implement our capital investment of $250,000 to improve the facility and your experience at the West Cook YMCA by making our Y better, cleaner, and safer.
