The Door County YMCA has announced its summer hours, which take effect Friday, May 22, as the organization prepares for the start of its summer programming session beginning June 16.

The updated schedule applies to both the Sturgeon Bay Center and the Jackie and Steve Kane Center, with extended morning access and adjusted evening closures designed to reflect seasonal usage patterns and increased summer activity across the county.

At the Sturgeon Bay Center, summer hours will run Monday through Thursday from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m., Friday from 5 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.

At the Jackie and Steve Kane Center, summer hours will be Monday through Thursday from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., Friday from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Holly Butenhoff, Branch Executive of the Kane Center YMCA in Fish Creek, says the seasonal shift helps accommodate early-morning fitness users, youth programming, and family schedules that expand significantly during the summer months.

“Summer is one of our busiest and most exciting times of year at the Y,” said Butenhoff. “These adjusted hours help us better serve the community while giving families more flexibility throughout the day.”

Butenhoff said planning ahead is especially important as registration approaches.

“Programs fill very quickly once registration opens, so we always encourage members and non-members to be ready right at sign-up time,” she said.

Member registration for summer programming opens Monday, June 9, while non-member registration begins Wednesday, June 11. Registration opens promptly at 5 a.m. Butenhoff notes that many classes, camps, and swim lessons reach capacity shortly after registration opens.

The summer session officially begins June 16, featuring youth camps, group fitness classes, aquatic programs, and family activities across both Door County YMCA locations.
