Y News: Updated Inclement Weather Policy

Our staff understands that our decision to close or delay the facility opening during inclement weather often disrupts daily schedules. We also understand that our members are better served by having access to our facility for their health and well-being, recreation and family engagement.

But, as always, our top priority is the safety of our members and staff. The decision to close or delay opening is not an easy one. To be more consistent, we are changing the way we make these decisions.

INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY

If Carlisle Area School District is closed for winter precipitation*, the Carlisle Family YMCA will be closed with the exception of 24/7 Access. If the Carlisle Family YMCA is able to open safely, any changes to our opening or closure will be made by 10am that day and we may offer limited programming at the discretion of the Carlisle Family YMCA.

If Carlisle Area School District has a 2-hour delay for winter precipitation*, the Carlisle Family YMCA will open at 10am and may have limited programming at the discretion of the Carlisle Family YMCA.

If Carlisle Area School District dismisses early for winter precipitation*, all afternoon and evening youth programs are cancelled, and adult programs will be at the discretion of the Carlisle Family YMCA.

Please check our website, Facebook page and email communications (make sure we have a current email address on file) for the most up-to-date schedules and closings. We also will send text alerts (sign up here) and push notifications from our mobile app (download here) to everyone who is subscribed to receive them.

*This does not apply if Carlisle Area School District delays or closes school for low temperatures with no winter precipitation.
