Full Day - 1/2 Day & Afterschool Options Now Available

Need support during your children's school days / week? The Y is here to help!
During the Y's new program - Y-Kids Learners Camp, students ages 4 - 6th grade will have the opportunity of having a safe place to be when not in school - playing, making friends, swimming along with homework help and literacy time all while at the Y!
We’ve extended summer camp into the school year – SUPER fun!

We have prepared to have camp available on an "as needed" basis.  If you are in need of camp care, please PREREGISTER  online so we can staff accordingly. 

RETURNING CAMPERS:

1) If you do not need camp next or the following week, please change your registration inquiries 

2) Anyone currently registered will not see any changes in their charges  new registrants should choose the after-school rate

NEW CAMPERS:

1) Please read all information on this page to stay updated!!  

2) New registrants should choose the "After-school" rate

Campers will be divided into pods according to age, school district of origin & arrival time.  When children are spaced more than six feet apart or are physically active, face coverings are not required. When indoors or when physical distancing is not possible, face coverings are required.

Programming includes:  homework help & literacy time, swimming at least twice weekly and outdoor games and activities. The tradition of Campfire Wednesday will continue throughout the school year unless temperatures are below 10 degrees. 

Morning programming will consist of virtual learning and homework time.  Our staff has undergone training to help with virtual learning.  

Full day, 1/2 day, and afterschool activity will be outdoor based throughout the school year, although the Homebase for each group will change with the seasons. Initially, campers will make use of the tents outside of the YMCA that were utilized by the summer camp program and will migrate indoors to the YMCA as needed. While outdoors, participants will make use of the created playscape on the tennis courts, play Nine Square in the Air, gaga ball, hike and learn new outdoor games. Campers can look forward to snowshoeing, sledding and other UP outdoor adventures during the winter season in addition to their weekly programming.    

 Thank you to the Menominee School District for providing the after-school snacks!

Upon arrival, all participants of the Y-Kids Learners Camps will be screened for wellness, including a brief questionnaire and temperature check. 

Please note there are specific drop-off times for full-day and 1/2 day campers. Campers can be dropped off at the back of the Y, adjacent to the Outback building.

Drop-off for all-day camp is from 7:45 to 8:00 am, and pick-up is between 5:00 and 5:30 pm.  We do not have staff available to monitor the drop-off/pick-up circle outside of these times.  If you arrive late for drop-off or early for pick-up, plan to be patient.  We will do our best to accommodate requests for specific times if you arrange them with us in advance.

·  Drop-off for after-school camp is between 3:00 and 3:30 pm.  Pick-up times are the same as full-day camp, from 5:00 to 5:30 pm. 

Pick-up for full, 1/2 day and afterschool participants will be located in the same area, at the back of the Y, adjacent to the Outback building, in the drop-off/pick-up circle from between 5:00 and 5:30 pm with parents remaining in their vehicles at drop off & pickup. We will use walkie-talkies to communicate between pods that a parent is there to pick up.  If anyone is picked up prior to that time, they will need to wait while their child is sent to the pick-up point.
