PARENTS LOVE YMCA DAY CAMP “This program made a positive impact on my children’s lives because they had fun while outside with new friends. They will remember going to Ipswich YMCA Camp forever.” “The camp staff encouraged my son to take risks, try new things and were supportive when it was hard to do so.” “Camp is exposing them to different activities, solid values and acceptance of all people. It was an experience that will be remembered always.”
Registration
The YMCA of the North Shore makes registering and paying for camp easy and convenient. Parents can register in person at the front desk or online and can choose from one of the three following payment methods: • Pay in full at the time of registration. • Use our convenient E-pay system and we’ll automatically draft either a credit/debit card or checking account 7 days prior to the start of your camp session. Never worry about remembering to pay! Secure your spot with a $25 deposit which can be credited for other camps or programs up until 7 days prior to the start of the camp session. • Pay a $25 non-refundable deposit at time of registration and then pay the balance at least 7 days prior to the start of camp. Registration is complete when you have: • Completed and returned to the Y the required registration packet (emergency phone number and email contact are required at time of registration). • Signed off that you have received and read the Parent Handbook. • Provided an up-to-date physical and immunization form. • Paid for your first week in full. Paper registrations are taken at the Ipswich Family YMCA. You can drop off your registration at the Ipswich Family YMCA or mail it to 110 County Road, Ipswich, MA 01938. This process must be completed each year. Registration is due the Friday before camp care is needed.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Y summer camps are for everyone regardless of income. The Y provides financial assistance for families who are unable to pay the full camp fee. Subsidies are available thanks to the generous support of “Y For All” donors and United Way contributions. Visit your local Y or our website at www.northshoreymca.org for a confidential financial assistance application or to make a contribution. Applications for financial assistance should be submitted at least two weeks prior to the start of the camp session to allow for processing.
Cancellation & Refund Policy
All camp cancellations must be done in writing and submitted to the camp registrar at ipswichcamp@northshoreymca.org. Prior to the start of camp, registration cancellations will receive a refund minus the $25 deposit fee. Exceptions made only if accompanied by a doctor’s note. Families on e-pay may make changes up to 7 days prior to the start of camp without penalty. Once a camp session has commenced, to receive a refund, cancellation requests must be accompanied with a doctor’s note. Refunds will be granted for the days remaining in the session only. If you have any questions about registration, cancellations, changes or refunds, you can reach the camp registrar at ipswichcamp@northshoreymca.org.
