Y Weekly camps are the perfect place for kids to be kids! Campers will enjoy many fun activities with plenty of choices each day including games, sports, arts and crafts, swimming, filed trips and the great outdoors. At YMCA BC, we are proud to provide safe, fun and high quality programs that encourage children to develop in spirit, mind and body. Parents & guardians can be sure their children are in safe, capable hands when they are with Y staff and volunteers at our day camps. Upon registration you will receive an activity schedule for each session.
CAMP STAFF & VOLUNTEERS - Camp staff are selected for their experience and skill with children. All of our staff have certification in first aid and CPR, and receive training in leadership, safety and emergency procedures. All Y staff and volunteers go through a security clearance prior to the start of camp.
LABEL BELONGINGS – Campers’ belongings should be labeled. Kamloops Y will not be responsible for any lost or stolen articles. Please leave all toys and personal belongings at home, unless previously communicated with coordinator.

HEALTH & SAFTEY - Our programs adhere to YMCA and Interior Health Childcare Licensing health and safety protocols.
CAMPERSHIP SUBSIDY PROGRAM – Donations from individuals, service groups and businesses assist youth whose financial circumstances would prevent them from attending camp.

Please call the Y for more details and for a confidential application form. If you would like to consider a gift towards a Campership Program, please call the Y at (250) 372-7725.
