Wenatchee Racquet & Athletic Club which started nearly 60 years ago by a community of like minded people, remains strong and dedicated to the health and well being of our community.  As much as we are excited to welcome you back to the club, we also are very aware and concerned that the guidelines and protocols which are set for our road to recovery are observed by all who participate.  

Distancing may be part of our new "normal", but equally as important is staying active and connected.  It is vital to our health to have safe places to participate in activities which boost our immune system as well as improve our mental and physical health through exercise.  

We have worked hard to modify spaces, provide proper equipment and means by which our members and staff can continue to exercise and practice this healthy lifestyle together.  All WRAC indoor activity spaces are now equipped with continually disinfecting Air Scrubbers in our HVAC systems.  Nightly disinfecting and cleaning though out the facility is now done with our new Electrostatic sprayer.  See photos of these below.  

We need your help to stay on this path.  To guarantee a safe environment by following our WRAC Care Program guidelines and showing the utmost respect for your fellow members as you practice safe distancing.  Not feeling well?  Stay home until you are well and ready to return to the club.  Thank you to everyone as we start a new chapter at the club, you are part of the team which will keep everyone healthy and safe.

The following slideshow is our full WRAC Care Program plan.  Please review.

You will be required to complete the updated Club Liability waiver for continued use of the club.  Please complete this online prior to or upon your return to the club.  If you need any assistance please contact the club by emailing info@wrac.org or calling (509) 662-3544.
