Annual Member

An Annual Membership entitles the member, their spouse or significant other, and all children up to and including age 25 to full Club privileges. Annual Members may not attend the Annual Proprietors Meeting, vote on any issue before the Proprietors, or serve as a Club officer or trustee. This is a temporary membership class limited to three seasons, after which members must apply for Proprietary status to continue. Annual Members are subject to applicable membership charges.

Individual Member

An Individual Membership is available to single (unmarried) individuals aged 21 or older. Individual Members enjoy full Club privileges but may not attend the Annual Proprietors Meeting, vote, or hold office. This introductory membership class is limited to three seasons, after which the member must apply for Proprietary status to continue. Individual Members are subject to applicable membership charges.

Junior Member

Unmarried children of Proprietary Members ages 26 through 32 may retain full Club privileges - excluding voting rights - by paying an annual surcharge. Parents of Junior Members must remain active members in good standing. The surcharge will be billed following approval by the AYC Board of Trustees.

Off-Season Member

Off-Season Membership offers full use of the Club from the day after Labor Day through the Thursday before Memorial Day. There are no initiation fees or food minimums, and no rate differences between single and married applicants. Memberships are limited to 250 families, with priority given to those currently on the waiting list for full membership. Applicants must include a letter of reference from a Proprietary Member sponsor. Off-Season Memberships are valid for one season only, are not prorated, and require a new application and fee each year.
