CAMP HOURS
Official Day | 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM
Drop-Off | 7:00-9:00 AM
Pick-Up | 4:00-6:00 PM

Each camp has a designated drop-off/pick-up location marked by Y signage. In the case of severe weather, please follow Y signage to alternate drop-off/pick-up locations.

All campers must be signed in and out of camp at the check-in table. To ensure the safety of all participants, campers may only be picked up by a pre-authorized contact. A driver's license may be requested for identification.

Early drop-off or late pick-up are not offered. Late pick-ups will result in an additional fee of $1 per minute per child. If you need to drop off after 9:00 AM or pick up before 4:00 PM, please call the camp in advance so staff have enough time to gather the check-in supplies and get your camper and their belongings.

REQUIREMENTS
Campers must be toilet trained with independent bathroom habits.

ACCOMMODATIONS
We welcome children with special needs and provide inclusive care as required by the ADA. Please contact us to ensure we can meet your child’s needs with reasonable accommodations.

In order to comply with DCF ratio requirements, we cannot accommodate 1-on-1 care, physical aggression, leaving the supervised area, or any behaviors that pose safety concerns. If these occur, the Y reserves the right to discontinue enrollment.

WHAT TO BRING TO CAMP
Campers spend most of the day outdoors, so be sure to send your child to camp wearing appropriate clothing and footwear. Sunscreen and bug spray should be applied before camp and also brought to camp.

Please label and send the following items with your camper every day in a backpack:

• Non-perishable lunch (optional)
• Water bottle
• Sneakers or closed-toe shoes
• Swimsuit & towel (swimming days vary by location)
• Sunscreen
• Bug spray
• Change of clothes (recommended for younger campers)

Personal items of monetary or sentimental value, including toys, electronic devices, gaming systems, trading or game cards, valuable jewelry, and money, should be left at home. Weapons of any kind are prohibited, including fake weapons and water guns.

Children are not allowed to be on phones during programming. If they have a phone and refuse to put it in their backpack, it will be put in a locked box and returned at pick-up.
