For late drop off or early pick up, please inform your Summer Day Camp office the day prior. Specific drop off and pick up locations for your camp can be found on our website.

*Late drop off & early pick up is not available on field trip days.

WHAT TO BRING TO CAMP

Campers spend most of the day outdoors, so be sure to send your child to camp wearing appropriate clothing and footwear. Sunscreen should be applied before camp and brought to camp as well. All items should be labeled with the child's name, including sunscreen.

Send the following items with your camper everyday:

• Non-Perishable Lunch
• Water Bottle
• Tennis Shoes or Closed-Toe Shoes
• Swimsuit and Towel
• Sunscreen & Bug Spray

Please keep all electronics and personal toys at home. The YMCA is not responsible for lost or stolen items.

CAMP SAFETY

The YMCA of Greater Waukesha County takes the health and safety of each camper seriously. We will monitor CDC and other local and state agencies’ recommendations to make sure we are implementing protocols to keep campers healthy to the best of our ability. We will keep families apprised of our current protocols as we get closer to the start of Summer Day Camp.
