WHAT’S UNIQUE ABOUT A RYE Y SUMMER? OUR COMMITMENT: At Rye Y camps, the social-emotional, cognitive, and physical development of all youth are nurtured and celebrated, resulting in the BEST SUMMER EVER!

POSITIVE ROLE MODELS Dedicated Staff

Rye Y camps are led by a team of full-time, qualified professional directors.

Our passionate and dedicated summer staff is selected for their strong character, maturity, enthusiasm and commitment to our Y values and serve as Professional Role Models for our campers.

We pride ourselves on our staff retention and look forward to their return year after year.

ACA Accredited Y Cares (Financial Assistance Program) Through generous donations we are able to send hundreds of children to camp every summer who may not have afforded our programs otherwise.

The Rye Y offers financial assistance for families who qualify.

Y Cares Application forms are available at ryeycamp.org under the Resources/Forms tab.

If you need assistance with the application or have questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us. If you would like to support our Annual Campaign, please make a pledge on the registration form or online at www.ryeymca.org

Counselor-to-Camper Ratios

At the Rye Y, we feel that the quality of our programs and success of your campers relies on low counselorto-camper ratios. As an ACA accredited camp, we follow strict ratio policies based on camper’s ages: Ages 3-4 : Ages 4-6: Ages 7-9: Ages 10 & older:

1: 4 (counselor to camper) 1:6 1:8 1:10

We safely bus all Discovery Campers to the Rye Y to participate in swim lessons daily with a structured recreational swim on Fridays. Instruction is provided through our certified aquatics staff and our trained camp staff.

Campers are evaluated on their first day of camp and are placed into the appropriate swim level for their age group. They will have the opportunity to progress through the levels as their abilities improve throughout the summer.

SPECIAL EVENTS, IN HOUSE PERFORMANCES & FIELD TRIPS! Each week we have a new theme to accompany the activities, projects and events we hold at Discovery Camp. From time travel to spending a week under the sea, our goal is to provide a safe, nurturing and engaging environment where our campers learn through DISCOVERY! Pioneers, Scouts, Trailblazers, and Pathfinders go on weekly field trips to an exciting regional destination. Examples of trip destinations include interactive children’s museums, amusement parks and much more!

Our Explorers group does not go on field trips, instead, each week, we have a special activity or special guest.

On Fridays, we have an ALL CAMP SPECIAL EVENT! From live concerts to circus performances, we do our best to provide a memorable summer experience for our campers.
