before August 1, 2025, the system will allow you to place a
non-refundable $100 deposit to save your child's space in the program.
The $100 deposit is non-refundable, non-transferrable and may not be
exchanged for YMCA credit. The deposit is used to secure your space in
the program during the pre-registration period. The $100 deposit will
be applied to your first monthly payment, which will be due on the 1st
of August. The monthly rate for August is prorated due to the start of
the school year. The monthly rate for August is listed in the total
amount, less the $100 deposit. It is set-up this way so that they
system only charges you the remaining balance for August, less what
you already paid through the deposit, which is applied towards your
August payment. If enrolling on or after August 1, 2025, the system
will charge you the first month upfront and in-full. If you are
eligible for a discount (such as financial assistance), it will
automatically apply. MINIMUM ENROLLMENT REQUIREMENTS: All YMCA
programs must meet the minimum enrollment numbers in order to operate.
Prior to the start of each school year, the minimum enrollment
requirement must be met or the program may be cancelled. If cancelled,
the YMCA will refund all payments/deposits for the first month of
school. 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/afterschool or via request to afterschool@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, if applicable (including field trips
and vendors that come to the Y) and the weekly curriculum. The YMCA
makes no guarantees that the program schedule will match the
advertised schedule, as things may change between the time that the
schedule is prepared and the time of program operation. CHANGES &
CANCELLATIONS: • School Year Programs: A 15-day (15 calendar days)
written request is required for all program changes and cancellations.
Without proper written request, the change or cancellation will be
denied and applied to the next qualifying payment within the schedule;
the subsequent ATS or EFT charge will draft, as scheduled. The 15-day
written notice is required 15 calendars days prior to the next
scheduled draft. Without such notice, that payment will be drafted as
schedule and the cancellation will take effect prior to the next
scheduled draft. YMCA School Year Programs are continuous, from the
first day of the program until the last day of program and monthly,
bi-monthly charges will resume until the program has ended or the
parent, guardian or authorized representative has emailed a 15-day
written request for cancellation. There are no refunds or credits for
missed or unused days of program for any reason, including attempts to
cancel after the deadline. Please note the following examples: o If
the written request is submitted January 2, the cancellation or change
will go into effect January 31, as the written notice was received at
least 15 days before the next schedule billing (15 days before the
February 1 billing). o If the written request is submitted January 15,
the cancellation or change will go into effect January 31, as the
written request was received at least 15 days before the next schedule
billing (15 days before the February 1 billing) o If the written
request is submitted January 19, the cancellation or change will go
into effect February 28 (or February 29, if a leap year), as the
written request was NOT received at least 15 days before the next
schedule billing (15 days before the February 1 billing). In order for
us to apply the cancellation or change request, the written request
would have had to be submitted no later than the end of day on January
17 (which is 15 days prior to the February 1 billing). In this case,
the cancellation would go into effect at the end of the next month,
February 28 (or February 29, if a leap year). o Regardless of if the
child attends the program or not, the YMCA does not process mid-month
cancellations; for this reason, the YMCA does not issue, reimburse or
provide partial refunds. The reason the YMCA does not issue, reimburse
or provide partial refunds is because we do not permit mid-month or
mid-session cancellations. In all cases, the enrolled child is
required to complete the monthly or weekly session and the correlating
billing cycle. • 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. o All deposits paid towards a weekly program
session are nonrefundable, non-transferrable and cannot be used as a
program credit. o School Break Programs During the School Year (such
as fall, winter and spring break day camp): The deadline to submit a
written request for a cancellation, change or refund is the Monday
prior to the start of each School Break Program weekly session. YMCA
School Break Programs are charged based on the weekly sessions that
the parent, guardian or authorized representative 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. o 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
representative 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. See
chart below. o 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.
o PLEASE NOTE: The TORRANCE-SOUTH BAY YMCA HAS A SEPARATE CANCELLATION
AND CHANGES POLICY FOR THEIR SPORTS & Specialty Day Camps. Please see
below to review that policy. 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.
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
afterschool@ymcala.org or 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 program.
