CAMP FAMILY NIGHT

Camp is family! Near the end of each summer, we invite all our camp families to the Y for a meal and a camper showcase.

SWIMMING & PARKS

Campers spend the afternoon swimming in the Y pools. Mondays & Thursdays we walk to a local park for outdoor activities (weather permitting).

PIE DAY FRIDAY

Campers' names are drawn for the opportunity to pie your “favorite” counselor while all campers watch.

CAMPER OF THE WEEK

Each week campers are selected and honored based on their display of core values.

GARDEN CLUB

The Master Gardeners of Marshall have partnered with the YMCA Summer Camp to help educate the campers about gardening and sustainability!

*Schedule subject to change based on special activities and field trips.

Camp will operate all summer, Monday through Friday, 7:30 am – 6:00 pm. Campers may register for just one week or all weeks. Sessions begin June 5 and end August 18. Camp will start and end each day at the Marshall Area YMCA. Activities will start at 8:30 am and last until 5 pm. Before and after those times we give campers the opportunity for free play.

To ensure a positive experience, please let the YMCA know if you or your child have a disability requiring accommodation. This information enables the YMCA to better meet your needs or those of your child, within available resources and within reason.

Safety is our first priority. Children are taught respect for nature, others and the proper use and care of equipment. All summer camp staff complete Child Abuse Prevention, Blood Borne Pathogen, CPR, and First Aid Trainings. Staff are trained extensively in additional safety procedures involving travel, weather, and medication. Counselor to child ratios and group sizes follows the Minnesota Department of Human Services guidelines at all times. Swimming activities only occur when a lifeguard is on duty and utilizes a wristband system according to camper swimming ability. Bug spray and sun screen will be provided by the Y for outdoor play.

Stay up-to-date on camp information and announcements. Each Friday a parent newsletter is sent to those registered with highlights and need- to-know details on upcoming weeks of camp. Please ensure your contact information is up to date so we can keep you notified of our adventures.
