YMCA Summer Day Camper Call – Palermo Public School

Please ensure that your camper is coming to camp each day with the following:

• Hat / Sunglasses
• Sunscreen
• Refillable water bottle
• Please ensure you are packing your camper with a FULL lunch as they have two snack times and one 30-minute lunch break
• All lunches MUST be Nut free
• Comfortable clothing and closed toe shoes (mandatory)
• Bathing suit & towel for swimming or splash pad time

Every Friday there is a special event where campers and counsellor dress to the week’s theme, and this week we encourage campers to dress to the theme. They can choose to wear something related to the theme. Our counsellors will be dressing up, so we hope your camper will too.

Every Friday, we celebrate the week’s theme with Fun Fridays, a special event featuring four exciting stations: Passive Play, Active Games, Food Crafts, and Memory Frames. At the Memory Frames station, each camper receives a group photo to decorate and take home as a keepsake. Group photos are taken every TUESDAY, so to ensure your camper is included, please make sure they attend camp on that day.

Every Wednesday, campers take part in a special camp-wide event led by our site’s Assistant Director, Apollo, called Wednesday Wallaroo. These large-scale games are designed around the weekly theme and offer a fun, engaging experience for all campers to enjoy together. It’s a highlight of the week that brings the entire camp community together for excitement, teamwork, and unforgettable memories!

For our DIY campers there may be times when you need to bring in some materials to enhance some of our DIY activities. This will be given in a DIY slip which is a slip of paper sent home. DIY counselors will have enough materials to support all campers’ activities; this is only to enhance the craft if you would like.

If your child will not be attending camper for any of the camp days, we ask that you send me an email to the Director, Alessia (aka Star) at [email protected] between the times of 7AM – 9AM so I am aware of this absence and I can let our staff know.
