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. 

Please understand that we cannot accept paperwork that is incomplete. We cannot pull information from past registrations and all information is needed to enroll.
