Challenges related to climbing open up avenues to building self-esteem and confidence. Our Y rock climbing wall will be a great opportunity for everyone to experience these benefits.

Anyone over the age of 11 can become belay certified. You can learn how to belay during our open climbing sessions or in a climbing class. To become fully belay certified, you must belay correctly during three different open climbing sessions. Cost: $5 per certification.

OPEN CLIMB A drop in climbing opportunity for all! Open Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6 - 8 pm. Our wall does require a certified belayer to assist climbers.

STRENGTHENING THE COMMUNITY THROUGH GIVING

WHERE COMMUNITY IS BUILT

OUR MISSION: As a nonprofit, the Tri-Cities Family YMCA’s mission is to strengthen our community. Each day we work together along side our neighbors to make a meaningful impact on everyone who walks through our doors. It is thanks to our volunteers and generous donors that we are able to transform lives in our community.

The Tri-Cities Family YMCA’s program and membership fees do not cover all of the costs of supporting programs and membership for those with financial need. As a nonprofit organization, donations are a critical source of income, helping us to ensure that no one is ever denied access to our YMCA programs or facility because of inability to pay. Your gifts help youth achieve their potential, empower people of all ages to lead healthier lives, and strengthen the bonds of community in the Tri-Cities.
