Camp Registration Information

Age Limitations

Children younger than 6 years old will be permitted to attend camp ONLY if they have completed a year of Kindergarten/TK. Please refer to each camp for more specific age requirements.

Registration and Membership

Everyone is welcome to participate in YMCA camps! If you are not currently a member, there is a $40 Program Membership fee in order to participate in camps. This fee entitles your camper to an individual program membership and is good for one calendar year. It also entitles you to discounts on other YMCA programs.

Camper Health Information

All camper Health History & Medical Release forms are due on the FIRST day of camp. Please turn them in at the camp site your child is attending. Due to American Camp Association regulations, a copy of your child’s immunization record is required. Also, to best serve your child, please inform our staff of any allergies or special health conditions that may exist.

Financial Assistance

The YMCA offers reduced rates for income-eligible families who wish to participate in our camping programs. Eligibility forms must be completed & approved prior to enrollment. Please allow 7-10 days for this process. To apply or for more information please email ycampinfo@scfymca.org.
