Gloucester County YMCA Set To Reopen Monday

GLOUCESTER COUNTY, NJ — After months of strategic planning, the Gloucester County YMCA in Woodbury is set to re-open its doors on Monday, the YMCA announced.

The nonprofit organization recently merged with YMCA of the Pines in Medford with the goal of expanding impact in the community, growing membership and forming new partnerships. It has also named Cameron Baker as its new executive director.

Baker’s priorities include creating new revenue streams, facility improvements and strengthening relationships with local school districts, city officials and local providers.

“The YMCA is so much more than just a gym,” Baker said. “We welcome all community members, regardless of age, income or background to learn, grow and thrive in an inclusive environment.”

Moving forward, the YMCA plans to grow youth development programs including “School’s Out” camps for students during holiday breaks, satellite camps and day camps this summer.

It will also focus on healthy living opportunities for active older adults, such as pickleball and open swim in the mornings. Facility improvements include improved locker rooms and new program space in the front of the building.

“We couldn’t be more excited about the re-opening,” Woodbury Mayor Peg Sickel said. “The Gloucester YMCA brings the Woodbury community together and offers valuable healthy living opportunities for our youth, adults and seniors.”

The YMCA welcomes all community members to tour the facility and learn about membership specials.

“During the month of December, any individual who joins will not pay membership fees until January,” Baker said. “We want community members to feel a sense of belonging and family when they walk through the doors.”
