Y Camp (Entering Grades K-6th) 

Y Camp reinforces learning all summer long with fun, interactive reading, science and arts projects. Kids will explore a specialized theme each week during the summer. Y Camp includes lots of time for group games, sports and free play, too. Y Camp includes two healthy snacks per day and entry for field trips.

Our staff has been hard at work updating our registration process to help reduce our historically long lines for summer camp and After-School program registration. Here is our plan for this year:

March 16-19 - Online Only Pre-registration

Google Form For Returning Participants
Google Form For NEW Participants

Pre-register your child using our new Google Form. The Google Form will be available on Wednesday, March 15 at 6:00pm. Your pre-registration will be automatically date/time stamped to hold your child’s place in the program(s) without you having to rush over and stand in a physical line. 

After our staff have entered your child’s information from the Google Form into our computer system, you will receive an email inviting you to come in to the Y to:

  • Complete the registration process by choosing your child’s camp schedule and/or confirming your child's After-School program schedule

  • Arrange for your method of payment for the program

You will have 7 days after receiving the email to complete the registration process.

March 20 - In-person Pre-Registration Begins

In-person pre-registration is available at the front desk beginning on Monday 3/20, online pre-registration will also remain open at this time, with the same process as above.

After our staff have entered your child’s information from the Google Form into our computer system, you will receive an email inviting you to come back in to the Y to:

  • Complete the registration process by choosing your child’s camp schedule and/or confirming your child's After-School program schedule

  • Arrange for your method of payment for the program

You will have 7 days after receiving the email to complete the registration process.
