The YMCA’s goal is to have a Day Camp where everyone feels safe and included. One to one counsellor support is available for children with exceptionalities and/or disabilities that are eligible and require assistance to successfully participate in all camp programming. One to one support is facilitated by our friendly one to one counsellors (youth with at least one year of camp experience) and is offered at all day camp locations!

Camper and staff safety is our top priority and therefore it is important to acknowledge that there are limitations within certain YMCA locations, as well as limitations to the level of support our day camp one to one staff can provide.  Camper needs will be accessed individually, and some families may be recommended to alternative locations or programs, and at times family hired support may be required in order to ensure a successful camp experience.
