Our counselors are trained in CPR, First Aid, child abuse prevention, bloodborne pathogens, emergency procedures, water safety, and our camp curriculum including songs and games that incorporate values and education. All counselors must pass a background check prior to employment.

Children are not allowed to bring toys and electronic devices, including cell phones, from home. Exceptions apply to field trip days. The YMCA is not responsible for any item that is broken, lost or stolen during camp.

The YMCA participates in the District Food Service program. This means we provide lunch for youth camp attendees at certain camps. Look for the red apple next to your camp in the Camp Brochure. If your camper does not want to participate in the program they will need to bring a cold lunch from home. Equestrian Campers and Skatepark Campers must bring their own lunches. Please note: refrigerators and microwaves are not available for camper use.  The YMCA also provides an afternoon snack to all campers.

If your camper has food allergies, make sure to note them on the student’s health form. The YMCA will provide snack options that accommodate your camper’s dietary needs provided at registration. Contact Camp Director if new needs arise.

Please communicate with camp staff via REMIND.

To minimize the chance of misplaced clothing and other items, please label all clothing and other property clearly. We are not responsible for lost or missing items. There will be a lost and found container at the sign-out station for all misplaced items each day.

At the first sign of inclement weather during our outdoor activities, campers will be brought indoors or to the nearest shelter until it is safe to return to the scheduled camp activity. The Camp Administration will send out communication if there is an emergency.

Visiting your camper is not recommended during the camp day. If you feel a visit is necessary contact the Camp Director to schedule a day and time.

Parents/Guardians are expected to park their vehicle and check in or check out campers from camp staff at Door A between the hours of 7:30-8:30am and 4:30-5:30pm. If campers are arriving late to the YMCA and the camp in which the camper is registered for has already departed, it is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to get their camper to the location of the camp. If a camper needs to be picked up prior to the dismissal time, it is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to meet the camper at the location in which their camp resides. A photo ID is required to pick up your camper. Campers will not be released to someone other than the parent/guardian. If someone other than the parent/guardian plans on picking up camper, that person must be listed on the camper’s registration or have written authorization provided from the parent/guardian to the camp after registration.

If your camper brings medications to camp including over the counter medications, it must be in the original container with the original label with their name. Do not pack medications into the camper’s luggage or backpack. Medications must be turned into the Camp Staff upon Check In.
