The Sonoma County Family YMCA notes that it is committed to complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act and other applicable accessibility laws and regulations. The YMCA also offers the Y360 virtual platform as a free benefit for all Y membership categories. A parent testimonial states, “My son was very anxious about attending camp, and after the first day he informed us that he ‘Loves it!’ Now, when I wake him up in the morning, he’ll ask if it’s a camp day. When I tell him it is, there’s a loud ‘yes!’ with a fist pump. Thank you for making camp a good place to be.” The YMCA’s history in Sonoma County includes its founding in 1954, a program and physical education facility built near downtown Santa Rosa in 1972, an Activity Center added in 1993, a teaching pool added in 1995, and lobby, Child Watch, and a 4,700 square foot 2nd Story Fitness Center added between 2003 and 2005.
