MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION

Membership is year to date and is non-transferable, non-freezable and non-refundable.  Membership includes free use of all facilities including the gym, fitness and weight rooms, and pool.  Racquetball courts are available for a small fee.  Discounts are offered on most programs to members.

Upon joining the Ephrata Recreation Center, all members are issued a personal membership card with photo ID.  Your membership card is your key to accessing The Rec.  Please have your card ready to scan at our front entrance.  If you have forgotten your card, there is a $1.00 reference charge for entrance.  The Rec realizes that cards can be lost, stolen, or mutilated.  The replacement cost for your membership card is $8.00.

Participation in recreation or competitive activities entails some risk of injury. The Rec does not provide medical or accidental injury insurance coverage and is not responsible for your lost, stolen, or misplaced items. We reserve the right to suspend and/or dismiss a member, without refund, for unsuitable, destructive or criminal behavior.  Abuse of your membership can result in revocation without refund.
