Registration and Payment Information

REGISTRATION

A Summit Area YMCA Membership is required to register for camp online. Summer camp registration (with the exception of The Learning Circle YMCA summer camps) is online only. You may reserve a space for your child by paying the full camp fee or with a non-refundable $50 deposit for each week of camp. Payments due on June 1, June 15, July 1 and July 15 will automatically be charged to the credit/debit card on file unless alternative arrangements are made with the Camp Registrar

To ensure a safe and quality camp experience for all campers, online registration will end Monday at midnight prior to the start of the upcoming camp week. No registrations will be accepted the weekend before the camp week begins. If late registration is accepted, there is a $30 late registration fee for day camp and $15 late registration fee for add-on programs. Late registrations must be requested via the Camp Registrar

If the Emergency Contact Information is incomplete for your child, their camp registrations will be rejected. For Extended Care participants, a Late Pick-Up Fee of $5/minute will be applied per minute for children picked up after 6:30PM. 

CAMP TRANSFERS

If space is not available in the camp you’ve requested, we will contact you. Change Requests must be completed online and submitted the Monday prior to bill date of camp week. Schedule as follows; May 27th for Weeks A – 2, June 10th for Weeks 3 – 5, June 24th for Weeks 6 – 8 and July 8th for Weeks 9 – B.
