TYPICAL DAY IN THE LIFE
OF A YMCA CAMPER
Each day at camp brings an exciting new adventure for our campers. The following is a sneak peek
of what a typical day may look like for our campers.
7:00am - 8:30am — BEFORE CAMP
Campers can be dropped off as early as 7:00am. During this time, campers will engage in small table top
games, group games, and other structured activities with the whole group. Morning snack is provided during
this time. If your child is dropped off before 8:30am and they are NOT enrolled in the Before Camp program,
your account will be charged $29.00 for that day.
9:00am - 9:30am — GOOD MORNING! Opening Ceremony
Campers will get to sing/shout to the top of their lungs, play silly camp games, possibly watch a goofy
counselor skit or lead the ceremony themselves! The Campers will also engage in a group discussion about the
theme and expectations for the day. Campers will then split into their age groups.
9:30am -11:00am — GROUP ACTIVITIES
Campers will play fun camp games, learn a new skill, or make a themed craft to take home! We have prepared
each weekly schedule for the summer so kids will continually play new games and learn new enrichment skills.
11:00am -12:30pm — SWIM TIME
12:30pm — LETS EAT!
During Lunch time we will enjoy great food as we fuel our minds and stomachs with food and great
conversation.
1:00 - 2:45pm— GROUP ACTIVITIES
In the afternoon, we will swim, play group games and have structured activity time. The campers will
participate in these activities as well as more games and crafts. Each week, we will participate in a large group
activity centered on the week’s theme! We have structured our day camp to be a very full and busy day for
our campers. For Specialty Campers, their activities will be structured to fit the Specialty Camp Theme. We
designate some time for our campers to take a break and enjoy some quiet cool-down time. Campers can read
a book, play board games, take on an art project or participate in spirit-mind-body talks.
2:45-3:15pm— SNACK TIME
After a busy afternoon campers will eat a snack and reflect on that day’s events.
3:15pm - 3:30pm — WHAT A GREAT DAY! Closing Ceremony
Campers will be able to give “Camper and Counselor Shout Outs” to the group. We will close with a quote,
skit, story, song, or dance. If your child remains at camp after 3:30pm and is NOT enrolled in the After Camp
program, your account will be charged $35.00 for that day.
3:30pm –6:00pm — WE WILL SEE YOU TOMORROW! After Camp
Parents will sign their child out and hear all about the awesome day they had.
This is a sample schedule. Schedules are subject to change.
• More detailed information will be discussed at Camp Open House on June 2, 2022!

Camp Open House
Meet staff, explore our camp area and learn about the program for 2022. Camp open house
will be on June 2 from 6:30pm to 7:30pm at the camp grounds.
Recreational Swim Time
All children will have the opportunity to swim daily, weather permitting. Each pool is staffed
by certified YMCA lifeguards. Every child will be given a wristband according to their height
which will determine the area of the pool they are permitted to be in. Campers must be in
third grade or higher in order to access the deep end of the pool. A swim test is required for
any third grade or higher camper that would like to access the deep end of the pool.
Pick Up and Drop Off
Children are required to be checked in and out on a daily basis either in the staff cabin or at
the picnic table located in the loop at camp. Anyone dropping off a child after 8:45am must
walk the child into the staff cabin to check them in. Two pick up passes will be given at the
time of registration, these passes grant permission for pick up. A pick up pass or photo
identification is required in order for the Y to release a child.
Absent Policy
Please call the Y by 9:00am on the days your child will be absent from camp. It is important
for us to know where your child is on days they are enrolled in the program. No refunds
will be given due to non-attendance. Additional information can be found in the parent
handbook.
Illness/ Injury
The health and safety of your child is a priority! Our staff are trained in emergency first
aid, CPR, communicable disease recognition and child abuse prevention training. If an
illness or injury happens during the camp day, we will provide basic first aid as needed.
Parents will be notified of minor injuries at the time of pick up. For more serious injuries we
will make every attempt to contact the parent or guardian using all numbers provided on the
enrollment form. A child may be required to be picked up from camp. If an injury warrants,
we will call emergency personnel who will then decide the proper medical care necessary.
Please view the parent handbook for more details about illness, injury or medications.
Behavior, Conduct and Discipline
We expect all campers to behave according to our guidelines. Please read over character
development and guidelines in the parent handbook as well as signing the behavior contract
in the registration packet. No cell phones or electronics of any kind are permitted at camp.
