"Thank you, Y friends, for your ongoing support and the role you play in helping us provide a consistent, stable, and welcoming place for people from all demographics to connect and belong.

What We Do
There’s truly no place like the Shasta Family YMCA! Established in 1946, and serving over 9,500 members—nearly 10% of our region’s population—our facility offers six group exercise studios, three pools, a functional training room, a dedicated stretching room, saunas, and a full fitness center. Our best-in-class facility gives your entire family the space and support to pursue their best at any age.
Beyond fitness, we believe in the power of connection — whether it’s through our group classes, enrichment programs, or simply sharing a cup of free coffee with friends. From energizing workouts to stress-reducing wellness offerings, you’ll find everything you need to feel healthier and more balanced. And for families, we’ve got something for every stage — from Child Watch and Music & Me to our competitive swim team and teen Y Club. The Shasta Family YMCA isn’t just a place to work out — it’s a place to belong. There really is no place like it.
When you give to the Shasta Family YMCA your support helps strengthen our community in real and lasting ways. Every dollar raised goes directly toward programs that empower youth, support families, and promote wellness for all ages.

Making A Difference
Phanh started her Camp McCumber journey as a camper back in 2015 and is now a veteran counselor. Not only has Phanh had the opportunity to experience the joys of summer camp, but her two younger siblings, Cee and Pim, attend Camp McCumber annually as well. For Phanh, summer camp is more than just outdoor activities, campfire songs, and s’mores; it is a chance for her to act like a kid again.
Phanh’s family moved to Redding from overseas; Phanh is the designated translator for her parents, as they barely speak any English. She often feels the responsibility and pressure to ensure that her parents make it to their destinations safely, but during the week that she is at Camp McCumber, she feels like a kid once again. When asked why Phanh looks forward to camp every year, she explained that she has the chance to experience everything that she doesn’t normally get to at home, like “creating bonds with new friends and learning about their different backgrounds”.
