Frequently Asked Questions

Rental costs vary based on the size of the group and the activities or team building requested. Please visit the rentals or team building page for contact information.

The YMCA uses an online registration system for all camp programs. Please follow the links to register your child. It will be helpful to have your child’s immunization records and other necessary resources at hand to expedite the process.

Please pack bedding for a twin mattress for each member of your family/group. You may prefer to only bring a bottom sheet, pillow and sleeping bag. You will also need to remember toiletries and towels/washcloths. Please pack for the weather and keep in mind many activities are outdoors. Loose, comfortable clothing that you don’t mind getting dirty is recommended. 

Photo release forms are built into every registration form. We use photos on our social channels and in marketing and promotion of the program. We also share on parent portals. Photos will only appear on approved channels owned/operated by the organization.

We have a behavior management system in place to address any issues that might occur. Our approach is focused on positive reinforcement and open communication. If a camper poses harm to themselves or others, we may need to excuse them from the program. If this occurs, no refunds are available.
