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.
