We look forward to hosting Avery Middle and High School programs throughout the school year and K-5 Summer camps in this new building.
  • Avery County Aquatics Center Updates – After 18 years, the Aquatics Center in Avery County is due for a few upgrades. In 2025, the YMCA will be redoing the pool floor, pool deck, and looking at other upgrades that will help improve the health and safety of our staff, members, and guests.
