Welcome to the YMCA of Greater Charlotte

Make your footprints count at Charlotte’s oldest road race - the 47th Annual YMCA Corporate Cup! This iconic Uptown event welcomes runners and walkers of all levels with a 5K, Half Marathon, Relay, and Fun Run. Compete as an individual or rally your coworkers for the Team Challenge, then celebrate together at a post-race party with music, food, and community pride. Register now and be part of a Charlotte tradition that gives back.

YMCA Day Camp and Overnight Camp give kids the space to grow, explore, and build confidence through meaningful experiences. From local day camps to adventures at Camp Thunderbird and Camp Harrison, programs spark independence, connection, and fun in a safe, supportive environment families trust. Overnight Camp and Day Camp registration is open.

Spring is the perfect season for kids to stay active, build skills, and grow through teamwork at the Y! From soccer and NFL Flag Football to volleyball and gymnastics, our youth sports programs welcome all skill levels in a positive, supportive environment. Registration is now open! Help your athlete grow confidence, character, and a love of the game this spring.

At the Y, swim lessons are about more than learning strokes - they build confidence, safety, and fun in the water. From beginners to advanced swimmers, our supportive programs help kids and adults gain skills, develop strength, and grow into confident swimmers for life.
