Description FEELS LIKE SUMMER!
The YMCA OF METROPOLITAN LOS ANGELES
has been serving families for over 140 years. Your family can count on
Y to ensure your child is having fun in a safe, nurturing environment.
The Y offers a variety of day camp programs, throughout the school
breaks, to meet the needs of parents and match the interests of our
campers.
Come and experience all the vibes of Y day camp, because it FEELS LIKE
SUMMER ! Y Day Camp has something for everyone! Feel like a champion
through sports and recreation or experience all the “feels” of
science with STEM activities that will blow your mind. Walk the red
carpet and feel like a Hollywood star or feel a little adventurous by
trying something new with friends. Whatever feelings day camp may
bring, we know that it will Feel Like Summer! Set in the
ultra-spirited YMCA style, each week will bring a unique theme and
camp ambiance. Campers will enjoy off-site field trips, on-site
enrichment visitors, aquatics visits and, at select locations, swim
lessons.
JOIN AS A YMCA MEMBER AND SAVE!
YMCA Day Camp programs are open for enrollment to the entire
community. A YMCA membership is not required to enroll and participate
in a YMCA Day Camp program. This SUMMER, we are offering Membership
Pricing! JOIN and become a YMCA member and save up to $40 per week,
per child, on SUMMER DAY CAMP. You can join the Y at
https://www.ymcala.org/membership [https://www.ymcala.org/membership]
or by emailing Membership@ymcala.org. Please note the following:
* In order to receive the discounted membership pricing, you must
have a Family Membership at any Los Angeles YMCA center at the time
that you enroll for the day camp, and both the payer (the parent,
guardian, etc.) and the child, must be on the membership. If you
register for day camp before joining as a member, the YMCA cannot go
back and adjust your fees and the YMCA will not issue credits or
refunds for the difference in price, of any kind.
* You must maintain your family membership through the summer. If
you cancel your membership before the end of your child’s last
summer session, you will no longer qualify for membership pricing and
your account will be adjusted to the non-member price.
* The Downey, Santa Clarita, Southeast Rio Vista at Maywood and
Wilmington YMCA’s have a standard weekly price for day camp (they do
not currently offer a member/non-member price differential).
* Sports & Specialty and Expo day camps at the West Valley, North
Valley and Torrance-South Bay YMCA’s as well as North Valley YMCA's
Junior Leader and Tiny Tot camps all have a standard weekly price
(they do not currently offer a member/non-member price differential
for these specific programs – all other day camp programs at the
West Valley, North Valley & Torrance-South Bay offer member/non-member
price discounts).
YMCA PROGRAM HANDBOOK ACKNOWLEDGEMENT:
By registering for this program, the parent, guardian or authorized
representative of the enrolled child acknowledges that they have read,
understood and agreed to all the policies and procedures for
enrollment in this YMCA program. In addition, the parent, guardian or
authorized representative acknowledges that they have received, read,
understood and agreed to the most recent edition of the YMCA Handbook
for this program. The YMCA Program Handbook is available to download
at www.ymcala.org/daycamp or via request to DayCamp@ymcala.org.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
The YMCA reserves the right to modify the program schedule, as the
YMCA sees appropriate, without prior notice to the parent, guardian or
authorized representative of the child. This includes but is not
limited to: weekly themes, weekly planned activities, weekly field
trips (including field trips and vendors that come to the Y) and the
weekly curriculum. The YMCA makes no guarantees that the day camp
schedule will match the advertised schedule, as things may change
between the time that the schedule is prepared and the time of program
operation.
PAYMENT DUE DATES:
There are three options to pay for your child’s summer program
(options can be done in combination): (1) register online and pay
week-by-week, pending space availability, (2) register online and pay
in full for all desired weekly sessions, or (3) register online and
reserve your child’s space by placing $25 non-refundable deposit for
each weekly session you wish to reserve. All deposits paid towards a
weekly program session are nonrefundable, non-transferrable and cannot
be used as a program credit. For the 2025 summer season, the last day
(the deadline) to place a $25 deposit and reserve a weekly session is
Friday, May 30, 2025. Deposits will not be accepted after this date.
After this date, any day camp enrollments must be paid in full at the
time of registration, via option (1) or option (2), as listed above.
When placing a deposit, the remaining balance of the program weekly
session fee must then be paid, in full, via a pre-set automatic
transfer service (ATS) draft, by the Monday prior to the start of each
weekly session. Please note that if placing a $25 deposit, the balance
for the week will be drafted the Monday prior to the start of each
weekly session, meaning 7 days prior to the start of each week.

CHANGES & CANCELLATIONS:
For School Break Programs, A written request is required for all
program changes, cancellations and refund requests. Without proper
written request, the change, cancellation or refund request will be
denied.
* ALL DEPOSITS PAID TOWARDS A WEEKLY PROGRAM SESSION ARE
NONREFUNDABLE, NON-TRANSFERRABLE AND CANNOT BE USED AS A PROGRAM
CREDIT.
* For School Break Programs During the Summer (such as a summer day
camp): The deadline to submit a written request for a cancellation,
change or refund is the Wednesday prior to the draft for each weekly
session (Please note, the weekly draft is the Monday prior to the
start of each School Break Program weekly session). This deadline
applies to all day camp enrollments, regardless of if the enrollment
is paid in full, paid via deposit with a balance or paid week-to-week.
YMCA School Break Programs are charged based on the weekly sessions
that the parent, guardian or authorized individual selected at the
time of online enrollment and it is therefore their responsibility to
ensure that any request for cancellations, changes or refunds is
submitted by the deadline.
* No credits, refunds or transfers will be granted for a weekly
program session once the deadline for changes and cancellations has
passed. This includes a program enrollment that happens after the
deadline for changes and cancellations has passed. If a child is
enrolled in a weekly program session AFTER the deadline for changes
and cancellations has passed for that particular weekly program
session, the enrollment and the sale are considered FINAL. The YMCA
will not issue a credit, refund or transfer for request made after the
deadline for cancellations and changes has passed, regardless of when
the child was registered and enrolled in to the program by the payer.
*
PLEASE NOTE: The Torrance-South Bay YMCA has a separate cancellation
and changes policy for their Sports & Specialty Day Camps. These
programs are offered in partnership with outside vendors. In many
cases, these outside vendors are secured in advance, based on
enrollment and expected attendance. For this reason, the following
policies will be enforced for all Specialty & Sports Day Camps offered
through the Torrance-South Bay YMCA:
*
At the time of registration, the payment is due in full. There is no
option to place a deposit.
* Requests for Cancellations and Changes must be submitted in
writing to DayCamp@ymcala.org 15-Days prior to the start of each
session. Without such notice, no cancellation or change will be
processed.
* If the written request for a cancellation is received by the
deadline, the cancellation will be processed and a 50% refund will be
granted. Because the YMCA is partnering with outside vendors, a full
refund cannot be processed.
CANCELLATION FEES (FOR SCHOOL BREAK PROGRAMS)
* If paid in full, all approved refund requests for a School Break
Program will be subject to a $25 cancellation fee, per week and per
child enrolled. Approval of the refund is contingent upon adherence to
the cancellation policies listed above.
* If a $25 deposit was placed and there is a balance due, the
deposit paid is non-refundable, non-transferrable and cannot be used
as a program credit.
ALL DEPOSITS PAID TOWARDS A WEEKLY PROGRAM SESSION ARE NONREFUNDABLE,
NON-TRANSFERRABLE AND CANNOT BE USED AS A PROGRAM CREDIT.

WRITTEN REQUEST:
All written requests must be submitted to DayCamp@ymcala.org. A verbal
notice or written request to the YMCA Director of the program or any
YMCA staff member is not sufficient, as YMCA staff cannot submit a
written request on behalf of a parent, guardian or authorized
representative. Physical forms are no longer provided. Any outstanding
balances will be due at the time of cancellation. The parent, guardian
or authorized representative is liable for any program fees that the
YMCA may incur in its effort to collect any remaining balances.
We hope that this information is helpful to you as you navigate
through the summer program. Feels Like Summer...enjoy the vibes!
