Preparing for camp at Brooklin Chris Hadfield Y Day Camp
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!
Campers will bus to Cedar Park Resort located at 6296 Cedar Park Rd, Bowmanville every Wednesday for a full day of swimming. Please ensure your camper has water shoes as this is an outdoor pool. Campers are not permitted to use the water slides.
Drop-off and pick-up is located on the north side of the building. Follow the Y Day Camp signs and a staff will be there to greet you and your camper(s).
In order to be placed in the same group as a friend, campers must be in the same age group and registered in the same program. For us to efficiently track the requests, you will need to complete this form for each individual week you are requesting.
Please ensure your request is sent at least 2 weeks before the start of the program. We do our best to accommodate all requests, however we can not make any guarantees. If requests are submitted less than 2 weeks before the start of the program we can not accommodate the request. Only one family should submit the request for both campers. Please only submit the request for your camper and one friend.
The safety of children in our programs is very important to the YMCA of Greater Toronto. Our Child and Youth Safeguarding policy states; Campers 12 years and younger must be signed out at the Y Day Camp location or bus stop. Campers must be signed out by an adult 16 years of age or older and listed as a main contact or authorized pick up during the registration process. This person will be required to show government issued ID.
The YMCA of Greater Toronto will not allow a camper under the age of 13, to leave a Y Day Camp program without this form filled out and the request approved by the day camp team. By filling out this form, your request for your camper to walk home alone, or with another individual under the age of 16 may be considered.
Day Camp staff work between the hours of 8am - 6pm, Monday to Friday.
Following Ontario Bill 27 and in keeping with our values, the YMCA of Greater Toronto is committed to supporting the health and wellbeing of employees. A Right to Disconnect policy has been initiated effective of June 2, 2022. The 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 regardless of whether they are in a centre/office or working remotely.
If you have urgent concerns after hours, you can reach out to our Contact Centre until 8pm by phone, 1-877-303-2267 or email, register@ymcagta.org.
Although we try to keep campers' items in their backpacks, occasionally things are forgotten. Any items lost at camp are collected daily and kept in the camp office. If your camper loses an item, contact the Camp Director immediately and they will try to find it.
All lost items will only be stored on-site for one week, after which they will be donated to a local charity.
Unfortunately, the Y cannot take responsibility for lost items.
Please check your camper's possessions daily to ensure they arrive home with them.
