Our Teen Time at
the YMCA Guidelines
The Waldo County YMCA would like to welcome all middle school
students entering school this fall. We want you to know that we offer
options that allow ALL middle school students to come to the YMCA after
each school day. If you are already an individual youth annual member
or an annual family member you are all set and no action is required on
your part. If you are not a current member, we have the paperwork for
TEEN ACCESS available at the Front Desk at the YMCA facility.
Teen ACCESS memberships……
- Are available to all middle and high school students.
- Are for after school Monday-Friday until 5:30 p.m. during the school year.
- Allow access to the teen room, hallway and gymnasium.
- ACCESS teens are not permitted in Fitness/Wellness rooms.
- ACCESS teens are not permitted on the Walk Track.
- ACCESS teens are not permitted upstairs for any reason.
There is no charge for a TEEN ACCESS Membership.
Programs are offered every day after school to provide
a safe, healthy environment for young people. Youth Members and Teen ACCESS
Members can participate in a variety of programs Monday - Friday from
2:20 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. during the school year. Programs include: gym and
outdoor activities, cooking , arts and crafts, board & card games,
Youth Advocacy Program (YAP), Friday movies, bumper pool and socializing
in the teen room, etc. Special
outings are also offered, including hiking, camping, Camden Snowbowl and
Sugarloaf, trips to the mall, and more. Keep your eyes open for flyers
posted in the teen room and at our Member Information Station. Please
sign up by the posted deadline to ensure that trips are not cancelled
due to lack of registration.
Healthy snacks are served FREE at 3:00
each day!!
Note: The TEEN ACCESS Membership was established to provide
a safe, healthy environment for young people after school. This NO-COST
program exists due in large part to financial support from the City of
Belfast and towns throughout Waldo County. TEEN ACCESS has been ongoing
since 2001.

Youth Advocacy Program (YAP)
This group will be responsible for completing four projects throughout
the school year that focus on physical activity, good nutrition and
anti tobacco/alcohol.
There will be several trips throughout the year such as the peer leadership
conference in Bar Harbor on November 17, 2007. This will be an overnight
trip, including a visit to the State House to observe how political
decisions are made and bills are passed. There will be an opportunity
to meet some of our political leaders.
Over the past few years, this group has learned that their opinions matter and that they can make a positive change in their community and state. The YAP group is made possible through the Healthy Maine Partnership and the Waldo County General Hospital. A free snack is provided at each meeting.
Meetings will be held on Wednesdays from 3:30 - 4:30 p.m. in the teen room at the Waldo County YMCA.
