About

Summer Day Camp includes themed weeks with hands-on crafts, interactive games, and workshops or clubs. Campers take part in Fun Fridays that feature guest speakers and special crafts. The program also offers swim lessons, water fitness, team sports, group exercise classes, water aerobics, and strength training.

• Schedule: Drop-off begins at 7:30 a.m., pick-up is by 6:00 p.m.; annual registration window runs from February 1 to April 30
• Price: A $25 non-refundable deposit is required per week per child to guarantee a reservation in the day camp program.

Each day, campers are expected to bring two healthy snacks, a non-microwavable lunch, water, sunscreen already applied plus labeled personal sunscreen for reapplication, a backpack, closed-toed shoes, a sweatshirt or jacket, a change of clothes if needed, and a sun hat, with all belongings labeled with first and last name. Children are not to bring money (unless stated in advance), games or toys, cell phones, electronic devices or games, gum, or candy. Every Friday is Spirit Day, when campers wear a YMCA Camp shirt. Parents are required to show ID to staff when signing out children daily, and a late fee of $1 per minute per child is charged for pick-up after 6:00 p.m. The program states that the Y has zero tolerance for physical harm. The mission of the program is to strengthen community through youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility, and it collaborates with community leaders to make healthy living accessible to everyone. Financial assistance is available, and no one is turned away because they lack the ability to pay. Member pricing includes early registration for programs and special member rates, along with nationwide access to a network of Ys across the country, including Puerto Rico.
