What is Enhancement Week and why does the Y close? 

Enhancement week is a yearly event at the end of summer when we close our branches to make improvements to our facilities. Improvements vary by branch and can include maintenance and construction projects, reconfiguration of spaces and a deep clean of the entire facility. We apologize for any inconvenience and invite you to visit another YMCA branch within our association
