Requirements
Your child’s first week of camp must be paid in full at the
time of registration. Additional weeks of camp require a
$50 non-refundable/non-transferable deposit. Automatic
withdrawals from a checking account, savings account or
credit card, are required for the balance of the additional
weeks. The withdrawals will be made on the Wednesday
preceeding the camp week. You may also make payment in
full at the time
of registration for all
the weeks that your camper is enrolled.
Your child’s immunization form and physical report must be submitted to the Camp Director by June 1,
2010.
Policies
Cell phones, video games, iPods/MP3 players, CD/DVD players
and electronic games are not recommended for camp as
the YMCA staff cannot be responsible for lost or stolen
items. Sneakers are required for all trips; no flip flops
allowed. All trips will leave promptly at 9:00 a.m. The bus
will not wait for late arrivals.
For the safety and security of your child, until he/she is
signed out by a parent/guardian or an authorized pick-up,
he/she will remain with the Day Camp Program. This includes
possible encounters with family and friends during
field trips.
Late Pick-up Policy: Camp ends at 6:00 p.m. and our staff is
scheduled to leave. Please notify the camp
director if you anticipate being late. This
will ensure the comfort of your child.
Beginning at 6:00 p.m., there is an
additional charge of $5 per child for
the first 15 minutes and a $1 every
minute thereafter, payable to the YMCA
at the time the child is signed out. You risk dismissal of your
child from the program if:
- You fail to pay the late pick-up fee.
- You are late picking up your child(ren) three times.
All trips are tentative and subject to change due to availability.
The YMCA of Saratoga day camps are permitted to operate by
