HOW TO REGISTER YOUR KIDS FOR SUMMER CAMP

STEP BY STEP GUIDE TO SIGNING YOUR KIDS UP FOR THE BEST SUMMER EVER

You want your kids to have the best summer ever, and you’re looking into one of our seven day camps to sign them up for. From sailing on the bay front to taking fun to new heights on our ropes courses, when your kids come to YMCA summer camps, they will make memories and friends that will last a lifetime!

Whether your kids are coming back for another unforgettable summer or they are joining us for the first time, we want to you with the steps you need to take to sign up.

If you are registering for Camp Corning the process will look different from below. You can use your regular YMCA Membership account.

STEP 1 – REGISTRATION:

  • After reviewing the information on the parent info page, please use the following links to start the registration process.
  • Please note: Your Membership login will not carry over to Campsite. Summer Camp registration is a different registration system from any of our other programs.
  • Returning Families: Please use your camp login information.
  • New Families: Click “New Family Enrollment”
    • New families will be brought to the new family enrollment information page.
    • Each field must be completed.
    • Your camper information will help pull what programs your camper(s) are eligible for based on their current age and the grade they are entering the following school year.

 STEP 2 – CAMP WEEKS:

  • You will then be given the camp options that are available for your camper’s age/grade level.
  • You will also see an option to filter by week.
  • You may only check one week at a time. Please make sure you only have one week selected at a time.
  • To select a camp option, click the “Add Option” button on the right and click the unit or specialty camp of your choice.

STEP 3 – CAMPER QUESTIONS:

  • Next you will answer camper specific and financial questions.
  • You will also have the opportunity to select any enrichment or swim lessons you would like your camper to participate in.

STEP 4 – BASIC MEDICAL INFORMATION:

  • The following page is the “Forms Page.”

  • Please note: If these are not completed, your camper may not be permitted to attend camp until the forms have been submitted.
