Yes, a couple membership can be purchased as long as it is one parent and one child under the age of 23. If it is a single parent with two or more children then a family membership must be purchased.
A Family membership does not include nieces, nephews, cousins, grandchildren etc. They would have to be added under the individual membership rate, or for shorter visits, you may consider our guest pass option.

Babysitters
Babysitters can be added to a family membership as follows:
- A babysitter (employee of the family, nanny, au pair, etc.) must be 16 years of age or older and have as their primary duty the care and supervision of dependent children who are part of a family membership.
- Babysitters may only use the Club only when accompanying children without parents. Babysitters may not use the Club for their own use.
- If a babysitter 18 or older is asked by an adult family member to take playmates of the children he/she is supervising to the Club, they may sign in those playmates as guests and pay daily rate per guest.
- A signed babysitter permission form must be submitted with payment.
- Since your babysitter is not a member on their own, and they have not been added to your family membership as a babysitter, they must be signed in as a guest. Please see our fee schedule.
- We limit babysitter membership to (2) babysitters for the season, as we understand at times and will accommodate a backup babysitter may be needed if the primary babysitter is unavailable. That babysitter still must have the babysitter ID card to bring the children to use the facility. The babysitter form must be filled out with both names.
