For Parents

The first price listed is the discounted rate for Monroe County YMCA members. The second price listed is the standard rate for non-members.

You may be put on a wait list for the camp you and your child are interested in. If a spot becomes available, we will contact you by phone. If are no longer interested in your wait-listed camp, please contact the Y and ask to have your name removed from the wait list.

We ask that you apply the first coat of sunscreen and bug spray at home each morning before coming to camp. Send a bottle of sunscreen and bug spray, labeled with your camper's name, in your camper's backpack so they can reapply throughout the day.

Please bring your child to camp in clothes appropriate for getting dirty, playing games, and having fun. Also consider the weather conditions for the day when choosing attire. We recommend wearing shoes that won't easily come off. No sandals, please. Remember to include a swimsuit and towel if your camper will be swimming that day.

Yes, parents need to pack a lunch for their camper every day. Please don't send food that spoils quickly in the heat. We unfortunately do not have the means to refrigerate lunches.

If bad weather occurs during camp, camp will be moved into the Y facility. Designated drop-off and pick-up areas for your camper will be posted in the lobby.

The only way another person may pick up your child from camp is if you have listed them as an authorized pick-up person at the time of registration.

If you wish to cancel your camper's registration before April 30, you will receive a full refund. After April 30, you may transfer your child to another week of camp if space is available for a $10 fee. Cancellations after April 30 will be given no refund. Due to the popularity of the camps and our important counselor/camper ratio, cancellations will only be considered if there are children on the waiting list. Any cancellation request after April 30 must be submitted in writing to Chris Stone or Esther Habimana-Griffin prior to the first day of the session for which your child is signed up. Welcome Center staff cannot issue a refund.

We will make sure that your child is taken to the proper camp when their original camp is finished. It is the parent's responsibility to let the staff know that their child will need supervision to and from the activity. We will also make sure that they have time for their lunch.
