2025 SUMMER CAMP
Summer at Y Camp is more than just a break from school—it’s an opportunity for children to thrive in a safe, welcoming environment. Here, kids from all backgrounds are encouraged to explore, discover new skills, and grow their character, all while forming friendships that extend beyond familiar circles. Our programs inspire each child to reach their full potential, uncovering talents and celebrating achievements in a community that values every individual. We believe in fostering a sense of belonging and well-being, empowering children to become their healthiest and happiest selves.

Follow the steps below to complete your online registration. All steps must be completed to finalize registration. This program does not save incomplete information.
Families who have not participated in YMCA School Age Care, 4K Wrap or Day Camp in 2022 or 2023 must fill out the Child Profile as part of registration. As the profile contains information required by state licensing, it is lengthy and therefore we recommend you complete it in advance of registration. For families who have participated in YMCA School Age, 4K Wrap and/or Day Camp in 2022 or 2023 the information already entered into the Profile has been saved but you must review and update it before you can register.

At the Y, we believe in providing membership and program services to all who desire to participate in the Y, regardless of ability to pay. We are asking those in need of assistance to make an appointment prior to your scheduled camp. If you have a child who would like to participate, but needs assistance, please contact Member Services at your Y location. W2 state and county funding is accepted at some camps. Please call or email the camp contact for additional information.
Y Summer Camp Programs are open to children of all abilities. Children are expected to be potty trained. Parents have a duty to disclose significant medical, physical or behavioral needs at the time of enrollment. Due to the large group format of our Summer Camps, the Y is unable to provide one-on-one care. If your child has unique needs that require a more specific type of accommodation, a meeting must be scheduled with the Camp Director a minimum of 2 weeks prior to attending the program. This allows us to identify the most effective ways of serving you and your child. Children are still expected to maintain the standards for the Summer Camp Program to the best of their ability. Any disciplinary actions that would be required would take their ability into account.
