Preparing for camp at Parry Sound Public School
Whether your child is an experienced camper or it is their first camp experience, it is always helpful to know what they can expect at your camp location this summer!
Camper Information
To ensure we can contact you if required, your YMCA Online Portal profile must be up to date with phone numbers and emergency contacts/authorized persons for pick up. Also, all required camp forms must be completed before your child participates.
YMCA Values
At YMCA Day Camp, our community is built upon the values of kindness, integrity, inclusiveness, respect and optimism. The YMCA values are guiding principles at the heart of everything we do. We ask that every member of our camp community embrace these values each day to create a sense of belonging and an enriching environment for everyone.
We look forward to a fantastic summer with your child!
Swimming
Your child will swim every Wednesday at summer camp walking from Parry Sound Public School down to Waubuno Beach.
Please send your camper with their bathing suit, a towel, and preferably a bag for wet swim gear. Campers can bring their own goggles for swimming, but neither day camp nor the YMCA are liable for any lost items. Swim assessments will be completed by our Certified Lifeguards to determine swimmer abilities and access to the deep end of our pool. Lifejackets are available for those campers that require them.
Contacting Us After-hours
Day Camp staff work between the hours of 8am – 6pm, Monday to Friday.
Following provincial legislation and in keeping with our values, the YMCA is committed to supporting the wellbeing of employees. Our Disconnecting From Work Policy is intended to support work/life balance and staff wellbeing by ensuring that employees have the right to disconnect from their work outside of their scheduled hours.
If you have urgent concerns after hours, you can reach out to our Community Care Team between 6 am and 7 pm by phone, 705-792-7822 or email, [email protected].
Lost & Found
All lost and found items will be held at camp until the end of each month. Where possible, found items will be displayed at sign out for parents and guardians to see.
In order to reduce lost and found we ask that you label all of your camper’s items. Custom labels can be ordered from: camps.mabelslabels.com. If you type ‘YMCA Simcoe/Muskoka Day Camp’ in the search bar before shopping a small portion of the cost will be donated to our campership fund.
