There is a misprint in our Camp Brochure that

Page 9 - Legoland Buidler's Secret Camp:
The Camp is listed as July 23-27, but will be
taking place on June 23-27.


 

DAY CAMP HOURS:

  • Mon.-Fri. 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM

EXTENDED DAY CAMP:

  • 7:00 AM - 9:00 AM & 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM

DAY CAMP SIGN OUT POLICY:

To ensure the safety of your child at camp, only persons authorized by you, the parent, will be allowed to pick up your child. All adults picking up children from camp are required to identify themselves with a photo I.D. Please plan accordingly. Anyone without proper authorization or identification will not be able to pick up a child. If this happens, a phone call will be made to the parent/ guardian immediately. Please notify us, in writing, of any changes to the information on the medical release.


LATE PICKUP:

A late fee of $1/minute will be assessed if you pick up your child after 6:00 pm. If your child is not registered for PM extended camp the late fee is applied starting at 4:15 PM. Checks are payable to the La Jolla YMCA. If a child has not been picked up by closing time, we refer to the emergency information and begin calling the numbers listed.

EARLY PICKUP:

Campers return to the YMCA by 4:00 pm. If you need to pick up your child early, please notify the camp Unit Leader in advance. You may contact the Unit Leader by calling the pager number on the activity calendar or writing a note and handing it to the staff directly.

SUNSCREEN:

Please apply sunscreen (SPF-30 or higher) to your child BEFORE you drop him/her off at camp. Sunscreen will be reapplied at least once during the camp day. If your child has special needs, please speak to the Unit Leader.

DROP OFF TIME:

Camp begins at 9:00 am. If you drop your child off after the camp bus leaves, you are responsible for transporting your child to the camp location. The YMCA will not send a vehicle back to pick up late campers.

CAMPERSHIP (FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE):

Camperships are available to those families in need of financial assistance. A family must meet the required financial assistance guidelines in order to receive funding. Financial assistance forms are available at the La Jolla YMCA Courtesy Desk. In order to process the paperwork in a timely fashion, financial aid and camp registration forms must be turned in at least 3 weeks before the camp starts.

MEDICAL EMERGENCY FORM:

It is vitally important that all the information on your child's medical emergency form (back side of the registration form) is accurate! Registration will not be processed if medical form is incomplete. Please include mobile phone numbers, and current daytime phone numbers!

CAMP TRANSFER POLICY:

Parents may transfer enrollment from one camp to another if there is space available. If the transfer is completed at least 7 days prior to the camp start date (by Monday 6pm), there is no financial penalty. If the transfer is done after this period, a $15 fee will be imposed, in addition to variance of camp fees. Transfers will not be accepted after a child has participated in 2 full days of camp. All transfers are subject to approval based on camp availability.

CAMP VOUCHER/REFUND POLICY:

Children absent 3 or more days in a session due to illness or injury may receive a prorated voucher or refund. Parent requests must be submitted in writing on a La Jolla YMCA Voucher/Refund Form with a doctors note attached, within two weeks of the absence. Vouchers and refunds will not be issued for missed days of camp. Before the camp starts, we pay our vendors, purchase our admission tickets and supplies, and hire our staff according to the pre-enrollment numbers. These are the reasons for the above policy. All vouchers and refunds are subject to approval. Vouchers may be used by any member of your family for any La Jolla YMCA program. Vouchers are valid one year from date of issue. If we cancel a camp, you will receive a full refund or voucher toward another La Jolla YMCA camp or program.
