2025 YMCA Summer Camp Registration Guide

Thank you for considering YMCA of Central Ohio Summer Camps for your child this summer! The information below will help you with registration. If you have questions, please contact your location.

Registration Dates

For all Day Camps and most Summer Enrichment Camp programs.

Online Registration Opens: Tuesday, January 28 at 7:00 am

In-House Registration Support Starts: Thursday, February 27 (by appointment only)

• Contact your preferred location to make an appointment with the Youth Experience Director.
• Planning to use Title XX/Publicly Funded Child for camp? You must register in person at your preferred location to avoid the weekly deposits. You must be approved for PFCC before enrolling in camp.
  • Many of our locations accept PFCC/Title XX, but not all of them do. All locations offer program financial assistance. Please contact your preferred location or visit our financial assistance page for more details.

Online Registration

You will need an account in our registration system to register for camp. If you are already a YMCA member or have registered for programs in the past, you likely have an account. 

• We HIGHLY recommend logging into your account before registration day to ensure you have access and set up your account correctly.

If you do not have a YMCA account, you can make one: 

Membership: Sign up for a membership to receive a $30 weekly discount.

• Y Club participants get our member rate on Summer Enrichment Camp programs.

Non-member: Create a non-member account.

Registration Tips

See camp availability and register using the location-specific registration link on your camp’s location page.

• Please allow 30 minutes PER CHILD you plan to register. You must fill out all medical forms during registration.
• Gather the information below before you begin. The system times out after 40 minutes; you’ll have to start over.

You'll receive a confirmation email after you pay each week’s deposits. If you do not pay nor receive a confirmation email, you did not successfully register. Please reach out to your YMCA location for assistance.

Camp Payment

We require a $20 deposit per week per child at registration. The remaining payment will be drafted from your card on file starting on May 28, and every Friday thereafter - 10 days before the start of the camp week. Please ensure you pay your deposit using the same payment method you would like for camp drafts.

We automatically assess camp payments not processed with a $20 Non-Sufficient Funds fee. If you need to change your payment method, please contact the staff at your location.

Camp payment plans are available upon request. Please contact your location’s staff to set one up.
