About Us – Strengthening Our Community, One Life at a Time!

At the YMCA of Waycross, we are more than just a gym — we are a community dedicated to helping individuals and families learn, grow, and thrive. Guided by our mission “To put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all,” we strive to make a lasting difference in the lives of those we serve.

For generations, the YMCA of Waycross has been a place where children discover their potential, families build stronger connections, and individuals of all ages find opportunities to improve their health and well-being. Through our commitment to Youth Development, Healthy Living, and Social Responsibility, we provide programs and services that strengthen the foundation of our community.

From preschool childcare, afterschool programs, summer day camps, and youth sports to swim lessons, personal training, group exercise, and innovative fitness opportunities like EGYM, our Y offers something for everyone. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to participate, regardless of age, background, or financial circumstances.

But what truly sets the YMCA apart is our commitment to people. We are a place where friendships are formed, confidence is built, healthy habits are developed, and lives are changed. Through the generosity of our donors, volunteers, community partners, and dedicated staff, we work every day to ensure that our programs remain accessible and impactful.

At the YMCA of Waycross, we’re not just building stronger bodies — we’re building stronger kids, stronger families, and a stronger community.

Whether you’re beginning your wellness journey, looking for a safe and nurturing environment for your child, or searching for meaningful ways to give back, there’s a place for you at the Y!

Join us and discover what it means to be part of something bigger.
