Camp will operate all summer, Monday through Friday, 6:45 a.m.- 5:45 p.m. Campers may register for just one week or all the weeks. Sessions offered June 9 through August 15. Camp is located at the Kandiyohi County Area Family YMCA.

Safety is our first priority.

Campers are taught the YMCA core values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.

All camp staff are CPR and first-aid certified. With a staff-to-child ratio of 1:15, we make sure that each staff member can give the required attention to each child.

Swimming

Children that wish to swim in deep water must complete a swim test given by lifeguards. If they pass they will be given a green band and that communicates to staff that the child is allowed to swim in the deep end. 

• Snack
• Water Bottle
• Sunscreen

We recommend labeling belongings with your child's name.

Each Friday we will email a parent newsletter with highlights and need-to-know details for the upcoming week.

Membership and Program Scholarships

No one will be denied participation in YMCA programs or membership because of inability to pay. The YMCA, with the help of the Annual Y Partners Campaign, provides scholarships or reduced cost memberships to low income or needy individuals or families. In order for the YMCA to stretch the donated scholarship dollars as far as we can, we ask that Summer Day Camp or Leaders in Training participants first apply for county child care assistance. If your assistance for county child care subsidy is denied, please complete the scholarship applications available at the Welcome Center Desk.
