Summer Day Camp Safety Procedures
Our YMCA camps provide a safe, clean, and fun environment so your child can learn and do the activities they love at the Y.
How old does my child have to be to attend camp?
Camps are intended for children ages. Students must be currently attending or have completed their kindergarten year.
What are my payment options?
You can pay in full with a credit card or check or pay on a weekly basis by keeping a credit card on file. Payments must be made the Friday prior to the start of the selected camp week.
What should campers wear to camp?
Campers should wear comfortable clothing that’s okay to get messy and closed-toe shoes.
What is the camper-to-staff ratio?
The staff to camper ratio is 1:8 to 1:20.
Does the Y offer financial assistance?
Yes! As a nonprofit organization, financial assistance is made possible through charitable donations to our Make More Possible campaign.
Does the Y offer any type of educational enrichment?
Yes! In addition to having fun at camp, your child will also learn valuable skills! The Y has a daily, designated time for kids to read in our traditional summer day camps in order to help prevent summer learning loss. The Y incorporates physical activity, STEM and reading activities into our daily camp programming to help prevent summer learning loss as well.
What's the difference between camps and clinics?
Traditional summer day camp at the Y takes place during a full day or half day basis, based on age group. During this time kids explore a variety of activities at the Y. In our dedicated specialized camps and clinics, kids focus on their passions and concentrated learning, whether it be arts, swimming, gymnastics, or sports. These camps take place in a range of time frames, including anywhere from 2 to 4 hours with our knowledgeable staff.
If I sign up for camp can I still participate in a specialty clinic?
Aquatics Camps, Art Clinics, and Sports Clinics (gymnastics, soccer, basketball, etc…) are standalone programs and registering for a Day Camp week at your local Y does not provide access to these camps and clinics. Please register for the Aquatic Camps and Arts and Sports clinics separately. You may not register for Day Camp at your local Y and specialized clinic during the same week.
If I participate in a camp and clinic, would the summer camp fee be prorated?
No, there is no prorate for selecting multiple camps. If you’re a member and you sign up for 7 weeks of summer day camp at your local Y, you’re eligible for a 15% discount on the 8th week.
