FAQ YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Our Y, also known as the Cray Community Center, is far more than a gym. You’ll find a wellness center, an indoor pool, a therapy pool, a gymnasium with a basketball court, and a walking track. We also feature a community room and a teaching kitchen, so there’s space for fitness, learning, and social connection all in one place.
Yes! Kids Zone provides supervised care for your children while you take a class or get a workout in. With a family membership, Kids Zone access is included free, so you can stay active with peace of mind knowing your kids are engaged and safe in supervised play.
Your membership comes with great value built in. Members enjoy free group exercise and water fitness classes plus a free Member Orientation to help set your wellness goals. Best of all, your membership grants access to every YMCA location across the Greater Kansas City area, so you’re never limited to a single center.
We love supporting families beyond the workout floor. Our Kids Night Out events give children ages 3 to 11 an evening of crafts, games, swimming, and dinner while parents enjoy a night off. These themed events happen regularly, making it easy for the whole family to stay connected to the Y.
We’re proud to be one of the oldest community YMCAs around, serving Atchison since 1872. While our roots run deep, we continue to evolve with modern facilities and programs for every age and stage of life. By blending wellness, education, social connection, and youth services, our center has become a true hub for strengthening bodies, minds, and relationships.
