The Door County YMCA is preparing for a busy summer season with several facility improvements, program offerings and volunteer opportunities planned over the coming months.

One of the most visible projects will be the final phase of resurfacing the parking lot at the YMCA's Sturgeon Bay Program Center. Construction is scheduled to begin Monday, June 8. YMCA officials are asking members and visitors to follow posted directional signs and instructions from construction crews while work is underway.

"If you're taking morning classes, get here early," said Sarah Gavin, Healthy Living Director at the Sturgeon Bay Program Center YMCA. "Try to carpool, ride your bike or walk over as parking will be at a premium, but it'll be woth it."

Gavin also highlighted the YMCA's upcoming summer program session, which begins June 15. Registration opens for YMCA members at 5 a.m. Monday, June 8 and for community non-members on Wednesday, June 10. The summer session will feature a wide range of youth, family and adult programs aimed at promoting healthy living, personal growth and community engagement throughout the season.

In preparation for the busy season, the Sturgeon Bay Program Center swimming pool will be closed from June 6 through June 14 for annual maintenance. The temporary closure will allow staff to complete routine upkeep and ensure the facility remains safe and operational for swimmers.

Meanwhile, organizers of the upcoming Door County Triathlon are seeking additional volunteers to assist with race-day operations. Gavin is encouraging community members to sign up for course volunteer positions to help support one of Door County's premier athletic events.
