• Who can register for field trips?: Only campers who are signed up for the week of camp that the field trip is set on can participate. We cannot accommodate campers who are not registered in the same week of camp as a field trip.
   
• What if my child is signed up for camp the week of a field trip but cannot go on the field trip?: Campers who cannot attend a field trip will have to find alternative care for that day as we will not have counselors or camp activities at the Y on field trip days. No discounts will be provided for campers who do not attend camp on field trip days.
   
• Is there an additional cost for field trips?: Yes. Additional costs are anywhere from $15-$20 per camper, per field trip.
   
• What grades can participate in field trips?: You can view which grades are eligible for field trips by going to the field trip registration page, or viewing the field trips information above.
   
• How will campers be supervised at field trips?: Camp groups will have a ratio of 1:10, which allows increased supervision of campers. Camp counselors have been trained to maintain ratio during field trips and count their groups and do name roll call several times before, during, and after the field trip. The same rules and expectations for campers at the YMCA will apply at field trips locations.

Drop-Off: 7:00AM-9:00AM  |  Pick-Up: 4:00PM-6:00PM
 

Camp will be held at the Rose E. Schneider Family YMCA. Children should be dropped off and picked up each day at the YMCA pavilion at their designated time. Children must be signed in and out of camp each day. At pick-up, parents/guardians will pull up to the pavilion, have their ID checked and their camper will be called for dismissal.

Anyone picking up their child after the designated pick-up times, listed above, will be charged a $10.00 late fee per 10 minutes per child. After 30 minutes if we are unable to contact the guardians, emergency contact, or anyone on their pick-up list we will contact the police to assist with contacting their guardians. If there is an emergency or you know that you will be late please call the YMCA at 724-452-9122 to let staff know.

Adults you wish to be authorized to pick-up your camper must be entered into the Authorized Pick-Up section during camp registration or by logging into your member account and updating authorized pick-ups.

We are commited to engaging in promoting team building, friendship skills, games and creative activities.

Camp Rose hosts huge events with onsite entertainment, from large water slides to petting zoos, we have TONS of fun! NEW for 2024: Each grade will have at least one off-site field trip this summer!

Yes! Our camp's focus is on social-emotional learning support and friendship skills. What does that mean? Our camp is designed to encourage character development and promote friendship building. Feeling like you belong is crucial to the success of youth and is a high focus throughout our daily lessons. 

Yes, typically campers swim daily, weather permitting! We know that the pool is one of the best places for youth to make friends and develop confidence around water, so we will be swimming every day. We will be following the YMCA's Safety Around Water Program to help youth learn essential water safety skills. For more information about water safety at camp, click here.

Campers will learn social-emotional strategies, many new games and activities, and ways to connect to the world outside of technology.

You must provide a breakfast (if needed), packed lunch, water, and snacks for your child. If a camper comes without a lunch, parent will be charged a $5 lunch fee to their billing method on file if a lunch cannot be dropped off prior to the camper's assigned lunch time.

Each week of camp, campers will create fun food and snacks through our Kids Can Cook program. We will work with any allergies your child has. We also provide optional days to purchase Kona Ice and other fun food services which will be communicated several days prior to the start of camp week.

Snack Shack* is returning this year! For $5, any child can purchase a Snack Shack pass which gives them five snacks they can get from the Snack Shack. *Requires separate registration that will be sent to you when registration opens.

A lunch should be sent daily in a bag or insulated lunch cooler marked with your child’s name. We do not have the ability to refrigerate or heat up lunch items. Don't forget to pack utensils, too!

For your protection, only persons authorized in writing by the parents on the Authorized Release Form may pick up your child with valid identification. Staff will question anyone who is unfamiliar to them and ask for identification to check their authorization. Anyone without proper authorization will be stopped from taking the child. In an emergency, or if we do not have prior written consent, you will be contacted by a Summer Camp Staff to authorize a verbal release.

Yes, your child must bring sunscreen. We recommend wearing sunscreen to camp every morning. Campers will be encouraged and monitored by staff to re-apply sunscreen a minimum of two times during our camp day. We encourage the use of hats or other sun protective gear. Counselors are not permitted to apply sunscreen to campers.

The Y recruits mature and capable staff to work in our programs. We count on each of them to be a role model to our campers and to teach campers the Y’s core values—respect, responsibility, honesty and caring.

All camp staff members are carefully screened and selected based on:

• Experience, skills, and abilities
• Certifications and education
• Character
• Enthusiasm
• Love of working with children

All Day Camp staff members attend a mandatory and comprehensive pre-camp training program.

Most of our Day Camp staff work for the Y year-round in our Youth & Family Department.

Camp staff is there to serve the children and their families. Families are encouraged to share as much information as possible about the child to make the child’s time in the Day Camp as pleasant as possible.

Medications must be in the original prescribed container with the child’s name and dosage. Parents will fill out a medication form that will remain with the child’s counselor. Epi-Pens and Inhalers will be able to stay with the child’s counselor in the grades’ camp backpack in a labeled baggy. Other medications that need to be given during camp hours may be stored in the Youth and Family Director’s office and be given at the prescribed time. All medication given will be signed off with dosage amount and time given with staff initials.

Depending on your child's condition, your child may attend summer camp. However, we ask that your child be provided the same support they are required to receive in the public school system. Please reach out to our Summer Camp staff at camprose@bcfymca.org.
