YMCA of Metro Atlanta Opens Registration for Summer Day Camp

Atlanta (June 8, 2020) — The YMCA of Metro Atlanta today announced registration for all sessions of summer day camp is open to the public on the organization’s website.

In adherence with the governors’ executive order, camps will have a reduced camper to staff ratio, enhanced drop-off procedures, including in-car temperature wellness checks for campers, temperature checks and face masks for staff, social distancing for campers and increased cleaning protocols.

Capacity numbers for camps have also been significantly reduced to maintain social distancing and to monitor campers’ wellness. Due to these new requirements, the Y will not offer specialty sports camps this year; instead, each branch will operate traditional day camps, which include arts and crafts, outdoor exploration, group games, indoor learning experiences and more.

“The safety of our campers, staff and community is our highest priority,” said Lauren Koontz, president and CEO of YMCA of Metro Atlanta. “Despite new protocols in place, one thing won’t change. Our camps will offer a fun environment for children to learn, explore and grow over the summer.”

To better accommodate families’ unique needs, individuals may register for a full week of summer camp or on a daily basis. Registration must be completed online at spirtionline.ymcaatlanta.org.
