Welcome to the YMCA of Greater Charlotte

Join neighbors, families, and runners of all levels at the 22nd Annual YMCA Run! Ballantyne! Choose from an 8K, 5K, or Fun Run, then celebrate together at the Amp with music, food, and fun. Register today to secure your spot, snag your medal & shirt, and support programs that strengthen our community. 

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.

Be the reason a child has their best summer ever. As a Y camp counselor or lifeguard, you’ll build friendships, grow as a leader, and create unforgettable experiences for kids in our community. With free membership and paid certifications, this is more than a summer job - it’s an opportunity to change lives.
