What to Consider Prior to Enrollment

  • Early departure from camp and absences from the camp program are not allowed.
  • To preserve the traditional nature of the camp experience, we require campers to leave all electronics, including cell phones, at home.
  • A Health Form is required, including proof of health insurance and a record of a physical exam conducted within 18 months of the camper’s arrival at camp.
  • Parents/Guardians have the right to request copies or review background check procedures, discipline policies, and grievance procedures upon request.
  • Becket-Chimney Corners YMCA works to provide nutritious meals for your camper each day. We are committed to providing quality food service at every meal. Each of the kitchens at BCCYMCA are inspected and licensed annually by the local Board of Health. We take allergy management and dietary restrictions seriously. Each kitchen will work with campers who have food allergies and dietary restrictions. Contact information for our food service team will be available closer to camp's start.
  • Becket-Chimney Corners YMCA is dedicated to helping each member of the community to develop their full potential. We believe that respect, kindness, and integrity are vital to the success of the camp community. For such ideals to thrive in our community, each member must believe in and support the mission and principles upon which our community is based and accept that one’s own behavior must reflect these values.
  • Each member of the camp community must strive to do all they can to create a respectful and safe environment for all. Each of us, including campers, family members, staff, and volunteers are responsible for their behavior at camp and will be held accountable for the code of conduct.
  • Campers are expected to participate fully in our camp program. This includes the activities of service, play, chapel, and living together. Participants must complete the full duration of the program in which they are enrolled. The Becket-Chimney YMCA reserves the right to decline acceptance to applicants who we feel will not be successful in our programs.
  • Make sure you review and understand our payment and refund policy prior to enrolling in camp.
  • Fees are established by the Board of Trustees to cover operating costs. Philanthropic gifts from parents and friends help to keep the tuition reasonable while maintaining high-quality programs and staff. The camp tuition is inclusive, covering room and board, program materials, trips, laundry service, basic in-camp health services, and membership in Becket-Chimney Corners YMCA. Specialty programs have a higher tuition to cover the extra costs associated with the program. Our fees do not include insurance on campers’ personal property, health & accident insurance, or store account deposit. We add a store account ($100 for four-week campers and $75 for Starter campers) to the camp bill so that each camper has a camp store account upon their arrival. Other elective services, such as transportation or linen rental, are provided for an extra fee.

FAQs

Once you apply, the primary account holder will receive an email confirmation from us with next steps. Please reach out to camp staff if you have any questions.

Camp contacts families in date and time order when an opening in a program occurs. You are welcome to contact camp weekly to see if your camper has moved up on a waiting list.

An individual who shares a vested interest in the well-being of the camper(s). A second parent or legal guardian who you want to be copied on all outgoing emails from camp and can speak with staff in regards to your camper(s).
You will be emailed when camp forms come out in the spring and are attached to your camp account. Please be sure to have them completed by May 1.
We recommend a store account ($100 for four-week campers and $75 for Starter campers) so that each camper has a camp store account upon their arrival. Money in the store account can be used for the purchase of clothing, snacks, toiletries, batteries and other souvenirs and for donations to YMCA World Service at chapels. You can add to this amount directly in your camp account.
