Membership Cards

Once a membership card is issued, it must be presented along with a picture ID in order to enter the facility. Children 16 years and under do not need a picture ID; however, they must present their membership card and have an adult present.

When purchasing a membership (other than a day pass), please go to the business office in Lower Miner to pay for the membership and obtain a picture ID membership card.

Anyone who loses their membership or student ID card will need to obtain a new card from the business office in Lower Miner with the replacement fee of $45 to print a replacement card. Students with a defective ID or is chipped or broken cards should visit the business office for a new one.
