We know that camp is a magical time for kids, and we are committed to bringing opportunities for discovery, enrichment, and play to kids across our region this summer. We also know that safety is a shared top priority for you and us! We have two summers of experience delivering safe and fun camps in conjunction with living with Covid-19. We are experts in keeping kids safe without comprising camper experience!

Our day camp offerings follow the most current recommendations from the American Camp Association, YMCA of the USA, and those of our local, state, and federal government agencies. This guidance can change frequently, and we will adjust our camp programs to match current recommendations.

The most up-to-date guidance that we are following can be found here. If you have questions about your camper and if they should come to camp, please follow the flowchart here.

For this camp, your child must 3 by the first day that they attend. Our registration system recognizes the age of your child on the very first meeting date of summer, in late June or early July. 

If you are receiving an age error but meet the criteria for the camp, please reach out to us at registration@seattleymca.org with your camper's name, date of birth, requested camp location and a good number to contact you at for follow up. Thanks for your patience.
