FUN FOR EVERY AGE 3

SUMMER CAMP 2015 / YMCA OF AUSTIN

CAMP OVERVIEW

Recommended for campers who have yet to attend Kindergarten and need a slower pace with a little more quiet time, Kinder Camp is the place to start. Campers benefit from an afternoon quiet/ nap period as well as lower camper-to-staff ratios: 12-to-1 during the camp day and 10-to-1 during swimming & field trips.

For those campers looking for the traditional day camp experience, Theme Camp is the way to go. Changing themerelated crafts, organized games, and character development activities help make each week a unique experience. Add in a weekly field trip and twice weekly dips in the pool and you have all the ingredients for a summer full of memories!

If your budding superstar is looking to increase his or her skills and learn about the values of teamwork and sportsmanship, then Sports Camp is your next stop. Daily drills and weekly competitions ensure skill development; while crafts, team building exercises, nutrition lessons, swimming, and community service events promote the development of the whole athlete.

If your camper has graduated from the day camp experience and is ready to move to the next level, then Adventure Camp should be this summer’s challenge. Get ready for a summer full of hiking, tubing, exploring, climbing, and achievement. Each week consists of three field trips and two days of swimming.

CAMP DETAILS

SHARKS ‘N MINNOWS This two-week theme provides Kinder and Theme campers with four swim lessons per week. Lessons are taught by YMCA swim instructors in small group settings. Remember to bring swimsuit, towel, and sunscreen everyday.

SUMMER CAMP 2015 / YMCA OF AUSTIN

T-SHIRTS While supplies last, the YMCA will provide one t-shirt per camper. Although not required, campers are encouraged to wear their Y camp t-shirt on field trip days.

FT-RSHEIRET!

FIELD TRIPS & BUSING Kinder, Theme, and Sports Camps take one field trip per week; Adventure Camp takes three field trips per week. Local school districts (Austin, Hays, or Round Rock) or charter bus companies provide transportation for all trips.

SWIMMING Weather permitting, all camps will enjoy two trips to the pool weekly. Most camps swim at YMCA of Austin interactive pools; some camps swim at city pools. Low ratios will exist for all swim trips and lifeguards will always be present in addition to camp staff.

SPECIAL NEEDS Summer Camp is open to all children, and the YMCA will work with children of all abilities. Parents have a duty to disclose significant medical, physical, or behavioral needs at the time of enrollment. Due to the large-group format of camp, the Y is unable to provide one-on-one care except on an intermittent basis.

SAFETY Safety always comes first at the YMCA of Austin, and it begins before the first day of camp. Staff are carefully chosen using in-person interviews, reference checks, and training attendance. The Y looks to hire experienced, caring, enthusiastic, and responsible staff for all positions.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE POLICY YMCA of Austin programs and activities are designed to benefit persons of all backgrounds, and fees are based on the cost of providing each program. While participants are expected to pay their fair share, when financial assistance dollars are available, the YMCA will assist any individual or family that wants to participate but cannot afford the fee. Financial Assistance (FA) applicants are required to complete a Financial Assistance Packet, which includes a one-page FA application, acknowledgment of award responsibility, and provide proof of household income—tax return, two pay stubs or bank statements of all household earners. Since demand for assistance is great and funds are limited, the Y encourages parents to apply early. Only completed applications (included enrollment forms and FA packet) will be accepted.

DISCIPLINE AND BEHAVIOR POLICY AGREEMENT BEHAVIOR POLICY – Good behavior is important to everyone in daily life. Certain behaviors are expected from the children involved in the YMCA Summer Camp, and following rules promotes a good learning experience that is safe and secure. When a child ignores or disregards rules, everyone’s experience is diminished. A Behavior Contract is the first formal step to help solve rule violations. The Behavior Contract involves parents, child, and staff and it requires the participation of all parties. If your child’s behavior becomes an ongoing problem, then a Behavior Contract will be issued. A sample contract is available at the Summer Camp site. Failure to correct behavior may result in suspension or dismissal. Please note that not all of the steps of a Behavior Contract will be taken every time a child breaks a YMCA rule. Disciplinary action will be determined for each child based on the severity of the action. Violence or issues which compromise the safety of the YMCA staff or participants will not be tolerated and can result in immediate suspension or expulsion from the program.
