Summer campers
are to be signed in at the Day Camp Front Desk.
Morning activities will take place throughout
the YMCA facility and grounds. Campers will
be split into age groups to participate in activities
that correlate with the weekly theme. Outdoor
space includes outdoor fields, outdoor basketball
court, outdoor playground, picnic shelters,
and hiking trails. Afternoons may be spent at
a local pool or campers may choose from a variety
of activities.
The goal
of this program is to introduce the Day Camp
experience to young children in a comfortable
learning environment. Funshine camp is an 11
week program that runs a full day. All weeks
have a basic camp theme and activities will
include swimming, fitness, arts & crafts,
hikes, computers, cooking, story time and occasional
field trips. This program, like all youth programs,
focuses on three main goals: Safety, outdoor
education, and peer socialization skills development.
Funshine
(Pre K- 1st grade) - $90 weekly
Summer Camp (2nd-5th
grade) - $90 weekly
Second child
$80 weekly
Sports Camp (6-12
years) - $ weekly
*All prices include:
breakfast, lunch, snack and most field trip
costs.
Camp registration
will begin on for YMCA members on March 11th
and for non-members on March 25th, on a first-come,
first-serve basis. As weeks become full, a waiting
list will be started and interested individuals
will be notified when sports are available.
We cannot accept any youth that is not registered
prior to their first week of camp.
In order to be
registered, the enclosed registration form must
be completed and returned before the first day
that a child attends camp. In addition, all
balances must be paid in full. Parents have
the following payment options:
A) Payment of
each week in full at the time of registration.
B) Pay in full
of the first and last week of a campers registration
and a pay a $25 deposit on each additional week
that a camper is registered for. The remaining
balance will be due by 6:00p.m on the Thursday
prior to the week of attendance. Anyone with
an unpaid balance will lose their spot in camp,
and not be admitted. Payments can be made in
the form of check, cash or credit card.
Registration
and payments may be made to the YMCA Front Desk
or see the Program Office for questions or assistance.
Please call Kim Robertson, Billing Manager at
340-3540 for more information.
Campers
have two alternatives for their daily lunch.
They may bring a non-perishable lunch from home
or they may purchase a $3.00-$5.00 lunch from
Subway at the YMCA. A represenative will
be on hand each morning to handle requests.
Payment is required each morning. Drinks
are supplied throughout the day. Lunches
must be paid for in cash.
The YMCA employs the most qualified personnel
for all of its programs. Summer Camp staff
is no exception. Each counselor is chosen from
a large field of candidates who have the educational
experience and training to work with large groups
of youth. Their priority is to provide a safe
learning environment for all campers and staff.
All Summer Camp staff are trained in CPR, first
aid, and Child Abuse Prevention. The staff to
camper ratio is small then recommended at 1:12.
We ask that campers bring only camp necessities
with them on a daily basis. Toys, CD players,
playing cards and other items are not allowed.
- - Wear comfortable shoes. Tennis shoes each and every day. Older shoes would be preferred.
- Swim suits and towel. Please label everything for identification purposes.
- Sunscreen, extra t-shirt, hat, and sunglasses.
- Extra clothes. Camp is supposed to be “dirty” and “wet” and it will be each day. Be prepared.
- Camp T-shirts will be provided and should be worn on field trips.
- Most importantly: a positive outlook and a curiosity to try new things.
