West Barnstable YMCA Reopens

BARNSTABLE, MA — The West Barnstable YMCA reopened Monday under the health and safety guidelines established in Phase 3 of the state's coronavirus reopening plan.

YMCA officials said the fitness center and pools are open to members only. Fitness classes, which began in Phase 2, will remain outdoors. Summer Camps and Early Education Centers began opening in stages on June 22 and are now all open.

These programs have all been operating without incident, according to YMCA officials.

"The return to services in our facilities, albeit socially distanced, will finally begin to be people to people," said Stacie Peugh, the president for YMCA Cape Cod. "The Y Board of Directors and all staff have been active and supportive participants in the planning and physical modifications for Monday’s re-opening. We are fully prepared with plans that ensure the safest possible environment for adults, children, and families.

"We are in this together and will work side by side with all stakeholders and those served to overcome the natural challenges and trepidation we all experience as each re-opening phase unfolds. I am grateful for and proud of the YMCA Cape Cod Board and staff who make this possible as we re-open “new normal” services on July 13."

Operational details, hours, fees, registration information and guidelines for all services and programs are available on the Y website.
