Exciting Changes to Camp Registration

As part of our ongoing efforts to improve our camp programs, we are introducing a new way to register for our Traditional Day Camp programs. This year, instead of registering for a specific group, families will register their camper for age-based groups: Lower Camp and Upper Camp

• Lower Camp: Ages 5-6 (Raccoons, Owls)
• Upper Camp: Ages 7-11 (Otters, Coyotes)

Camp leadership staff will create smaller weekly groups of campers based on age, ensuring a safe and engaging experience while maintaining our counselor-to-camper ratios. This updated process allows us to accommodate more families and manage waitlists effectively, allowing more children to experience the joy of camp.

Please note this change does not impact our half-day camp programs (ages 3-5) or Leaders in Training (ages 12-15).

South Shore YMCA Membership Rates

South Shore YMCA Membership must be active at the time of registration and remain active through the camp week your child is registered for in order to receive the discounted Y member rate.  A retroactive discount can not be applied.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
