Bellefonte YMCA — Local services in Bellefonte

The facilities are clean, though the buildings are older and beginning to show some wear. There aren’t a lot of whistles and bells, but you do get sound programming; friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable staff and a great community asset at a...

I have been coming to this YMCA since I was 12 years old. I was in the Teen Leaders program, which was super awesome and taught me a lot about responsibilities I have to myself and my community. I also had parent/ child swim lessons with my daughter, the staff was fantastic and my daughter was swimming on her own in no time. Now I work here, and it is definitely the best job I have ever had. The staff is all very friendly and helpful, and I love seeing all the kids that come in for...
