History

1985
The Rancho Family YMCA began as a result of conclusions made from the second strategic planning process conducted by the YMCA of San Diego County. Based on the conclusions of that survey, it became apparent that there was a great need for a YMCA to be built in the North County, along the I-15 corridor, somewhere between Scripps Ranch and Escondido.

1989
The Rancho Family YMCA began operating as a store-front location providing backyard swim lessons and day camps to the surrounding community.

1995

In January, the new Rancho Family YMCA had it’s grand opening for the building now known as the Program Center.

2000

The Rancho Family YMCA opened a main facility with a full workout center known as the Wellness Center, an interactive outside pool, main pool, a multi-purpose room commonly used for group fitness classes, Family Fun Night, and Birthday Parties.

2007

On June 16 the Rancho Family YMCA held groundbreaking ceremonies at the 4-acre site on Scripps Poway Parkway, which is now home to youth sports classes and leagues, summer camp home base, family walking clubs, and special events as interim use until construction begins on an additional facility.

Today
The Rancho Family YMCA provides programs for young and old alike, such as year round swim lessons and swim team, gymnastics up to competitive levels, youth sports and sports leagues, martial arts, summer and school year day camps, and Adventure Guides.
