Weekly Payments and Payment Plans

​

All payments are required to be paid through electronic funds transfer via a checking account or credit card. Parents who choose to pay weekly will have their account debited on the first day of camp.

​

We also offer a payment plan that can be tailored to your specific family needs. The most common payment plan is a monthly draft either on the 10th or 25th of each month beginning at the time of camp sign up. Monthly drafts are determined by the total balance due after deposits divided by the number of months remaining until camp ends. For example: If you register in April, your monthly drafts will begin in May and must end by August. For more information on payment plans, please contact Nick Baldelli-Boggs at (205)345-9622 or nbboggs@ymcatusc.org

​

Late Registrations: Weekly registrations are accepted on a first come/ first serve basis as space allows. Registration will close on the Thursday prior to the start of each week at noon. No exceptions.

​

Refund/Cancellation Policy: If the YMCA cancels the camp, a full refund of the camp price will be given. If you wish to cancel a camp week for your child, you must notify Mr. Boggs in writing 2 weeks in advance. Please remember that deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable. If you fail to turn in a 2-week notice for a cancellation you’ll be responsible for full payment.  It is not possible to cancel a week of camp online.

​

Waiting List: Our capacities are based on building space and more importantly, bus space for field trips. For that reason, it is very rare that we are able to exceed capacity to allow waiting for children into camp.

​

However, if a child cancels that camp (which is common), the first person on the waitlist (based on the order in which you registered) gets dibs on the spot. Mr. Boggs will contact the parent and give them 24 hours to claim the spot (If you make other plans it is ok! You’re not obligated to a wait list spot!) and if he doesn’t hear back within that time frame, he’ll move to the next child on the waitlist (and so on).

Financial Assistance

​

The YMCA believes in serving the needs of everyone in our community regardless of their ability to pay full fees. Financial assistance, based on need, is available for our Classic Camp only. Financial assistance applications are given on a first come basis. It is required that you register for camp by May 1st to receive financial assistance; if for any reason your request for Financial Assistance is not approved, we will refund any paid balances towards camp including deposits. Please submit your Financial Assistance Application to Nick Baldelli-Boggs at nbboggs@ymcatusc.org or (205) 345-9622.

Parent Survival Tips

  • Drop off begins at 7:30 am and ends at 8:45 am. Please have your child here prior to 8:45 so they can enjoy a full day of fun! It is important for children to arrive by 9:00 am or they may miss the bus to planned outings. Please be sure to walk your child into the Child Development Center and sign her or him in for the day.

​

  • Pick up is from 5:00 pm to 5:30 pm. There will be days that we will not arrive back to the YMCA until 5:00 pm. If you need to pick your child up prior to 5:00 pm you must make arrangements in writing to Mr. Boggs at nboggs@ymcatusc.org

​

  • Your child needs lunch, snacks (we recommend 1-2) and drinks for the day. A refillable water bottle is also required. No soda or sugary drinks, please. The YMCA will provide one afternoon snack.

​

  • Your child will swim 2 days a week. Pay attention to their weekly schedule and send a swimsuit and towel on those days.

​

  • • *WE ARE A PEANUT FREE CHILDCARE FACILITY* For the safety of all of our campers, please do not send peanut products to the YMCA with your child.

    • Please send your child in play clothes and tennis shoes. We play hard and have fun at the YMCA! Your child will come home dirty. No crocs or flip flops allowed for safety reasons. Children not wearing proper footwear will not be permitted to attend camp.

​

  • Children are required to bring a backpack to camp each day to travel with them on field trips.

    • A schedule for the week is sent out via email the week before camp. Pay attention to field trip dates, special instructions, and days your child will swim.

    • Your child must wear their field trip shirt on EVERY field trip day. No exceptions. If your child comes without their shirt, they will not be permitted to attend the trip. Extra shirts cost $5.  Your child will get their shirt at parent orientation or on their first field trip day.
