New Registration Experience

The YMCA of Greater Seattle is launching a new Registration and Customer Relationship Management system in 2024. This new system will allow us to provide you with a more holistic online experience by consolidating your YMCA accounts into one place by year end — including registrations for programs like Before and After-School Enrichment, swim lessons, and day camp, your electronic forms and waivers, and your YMCA membership.

As a Before and After-School Enrichment (BASE) participant, you’ll be the first to access the new system when registering for care in the 2024-25 school year!

Please note that your 2023-24 BASE registration, YMCA membership, and any other registrations (including for 2024 day camp) will remain in our original Active Network and ePACT systems until later this year.

This page contains step-by-step instructions for creating a new account, registering for BASE, and applying and receiving financial assistance. Click a quick link below to jump to the information you need.

Before you get started, we recommend disabling any pop-up blockers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can siblings of currently enrolled participants register in the first priority window?

Yes! In our new registration system, priority qualifications for currently enrolled participants or YMCA members are attached to the household account rather than an individual, so any contact who is part of a household will be able to register in their designated priority window. 

For example, if you have an incoming kindergartener who is a younger sibling of a currently enrolled BASE participant, and they are a contact on your household account, both kid will be able to sign up during the first registration window on April 4 at 6:00 am. 

What is Pending Active in my registration status? 

Pending Active indicates that you are registered for a program but the program has not yet started. 

Can my incoming kindergartener, who is starting school early at age four, participate in Before and After-School Enrichment?

Due to state licensing requirements, kids who attend Before and After-School Enrichment (BASE) must be at least five years old. 

You may register now and start after turning five; however, you are responsible for all fees.  For all age overrides or additional registration questions, please contact us at registration@seattleymca.org or call (206) 382-4927 and select option three
