Safety and Staff: A Winning Combination!
Our day camps meet the highest health and safety standards of the YMCA and the NYS Health Department. Camps are
inspected twice each year by the Department of Health and files are available for inspection at your county health
department office. Our hand-picked staff are trained in First Aid, CPR, pool safety, heat and sun safety, age-appropriate
activities, conflict resolution, rainy day play and more! Staff training includes almost 30 hours before camp begins.
Camper Safety
Safety comes first at the Y. That’s why we ask all campers to celebrate camp in ways that are respectful to themselves, other
campers, and our staff. To ensure the safety of all those in our care, a camper whose behavior poses a risk to safety may be
removed from camp.
Photos and Videos
To help share the fun of summer camp, YMCA staff use photographs and videos that feature children from our camps for
promotional materials.
Refunds
We cannot refund the cost of camp for the voluntary withdrawal of a camper due to illness, vacation, or other absence
(temporary or permanent), or for the dismissal of a camper.
