OSHKOSH COMMUNITY YMCA RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILTIY AND IDEMNITY AGREEMENT 

​The Oshkosh Community YMCA is founded on Christian principles and values and prohibits inappropriate behavior and conduct. This includes, but is not limited to, profanity or abusive language, inappropriate or revealing attire, smoking, use of alcohol or drugs, sexually explicit conversation or behavior, any sexual contact with another person, harassment or intimidation, the removal of YMCA property, carrying or concealing a weapon or criminal conduct of any type. Such inappropriate behavior or conduct is unacceptable, and the YMCA consequently retains the right to deny memberships to its applicants and to revoke a membership of any current member or participant at its sole discretion. 

In addition, the YMCA reserves the right to deny access or membership to any person who has been accused or convicted of any crime involving child and/or sexual abuse, has ever been convicted of any offense relating to the use, sale, possession or transportation of narcotics or habit forming and/or dangerous drugs or is presently or habitually under the influence of dangerous drugs or chemicals, narcotics or intoxicating beverages. 

Members and guests are encouraged to take responsibility for their personal comfort and safety by asking any person whose behavior threatens their comfort to refrain from such behavior. Anyone who feels uncomfortable in confronting a person directly should report the behavior to a staff person or the building supervisor on duty.
