Physicals and shot records are required to be within a year of the start of the program, signed by a physician, and turned in with registration. Bedford Area Family YMCA memberships that cover the enrolled child have a 5% discount.

Once your child(ren) is/are registered you are responsible for that week’s payment regardless of attendance. The rate is not reduced for absences. To unenroll a week you registered for you must contact Jessica at [email protected] to give a 2-week notice.
