Welcome to School Break Camp!
Ages 5 -12

We are ecstatic that you have chosen the Cherokee County YMCA’s School Break Camp
for your child.  We have an exciting week planned and are looking forward to providing your
camper with the best possible experience. 

Our Staff

Our staff is highly trained to provide a safe camping environment for our campers.  The staff
is closely supervised by our directors and leadership staff. 

YMCA Character Development

The YMCA is dedicated to helping children grow in spirit, mind and body by implementing our
core values of respect, responsibility, honesty, and caring in our programs.  Your campers will
experience and develop an understanding of our core values through our directors, counselors,
and other campers.

Daily Activities

During the day your child will participate in arts & crafts, field games, character education,
and fun wholesome activities with staff that care.  During pre and post camp children will have
the opportunity to participate in organized games.  Kids will abound in the great outdoors on
trails, field games, hay rides and NATURE.  When the weather turns cold or rainy, we come in
doors to our secure cabins and dining hall.

Medication Needs
If medication is needed for your child, please follow our Medication Procedure: 

• Medication must be in the original prescription bottle with the child’s name.
• Fill out the Medication Form and place the medication bottle in the envelope.
• Give the envelope and Medication Form to the Check-In Staff.
• Campers are not allowed to carry or administer their own medication, including
  Tylenol or other non-prescription medication.

Additional Information

What to Wear to Camp  

We want our campers dressed appropriately and comfortably for all our activities.  Suggestions for dress are shorts, t-shirts, socks, and hats.  Sneakers are required for Day Camp Activities. Sandals, open toed shoes, Crocs, and heelies are not allowed at camp. A change of clothes is recommended for younger ages. 

We are not responsible for valuables lost at camp.

Camper Sign In and Sign Out Procedures

We know that after working all day, you are ready to pick up your child and go home. 
However, for the safety of your children and the other campers, we ask that you follow
all camp procedures.  You MUST sign in your camper in the morning and sign out your
camper in the afternoon.  We will verify the person picking up the child to camper’s
list to see if you are authorized to pick up the child. 
A photo ID will also be required as we do ID checks.

Early Sign Out

If you need to pick up your child early, please leave a note stating the campers, name,
age and approximate time of the pick up when signing in your child in the morning. You
may also call ahead to let us know what time your child needs to be ready and we will
do our best to have them ready to go.
