Summer Camps at the Y

WELCOME TO SUMMER CAMPS AT THE Y!

Summer camp at the YMCA of Snohomish County is so much more than a fun summer for all. At YMCA camp kids grow, build skills and gain self-confidence in a values-based environment. Our camps have much to offer kids from preschool to 11th grade. As always, the focus of our camps is to make a positive impact on your child: Relationships, Achievement, and Belonging are constant themes at camp.

Belonging

We inspire kids to work and play together, creating friendships that can last a lifetime.

Achievement

We provide kids with opportunities to try new experiences. Show them all they can do when they believe in themselves.

Friendship

We make kids feel welcome, feel comfortable being themselves, and know they’re a part of something great.

CAMP INFORMATION 

Special Needs

Y staff members are trained to help children with mild to moderate diverse–abilities. However, our facilities are not adequately staffed to work with children who need significant assistance with personal care, constant one–to–one support, or have great difficulty managing their behavior in a group setting. If your child requires specialized accommodations, please contact your local YMCA family branch.

Camper Safety

Professional Role Models

YMCA camp staff are dedicated to providing a safe and wholesome environment for each camper. Camp staff are chosen for their maturity, strong values, enthusiasm and ability to be positive role models for children.

Staff Training

Camp staff receive more than 40 hours in training prior to the start of camp. Training includes CPR, First Aid, child abuse prevention, emergency procedures, water safety, and updated COVID-19 protocols.

Group Size

Group sizes will be limited, and we will follow current guidance regarding camp group ratios and maximum campers per site. Campers will remain in consistent groups throughout the camp week.

Face Checks

Camp staff perform face checks and take attendance numerous times throughout the day and at every transition.

Authorized Pickups

Campers are only released to pre-authorized adults. Photo ID is required.

Handwashing

Campers and staff practice frequent handwashing with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Campers will be required to wash their hands upon arriving to camp, before and after meals, and as often as possible throughout the day.
