To enable us time to process your application, you must enroll 1 week prior to attending. Enrollment takes place at the Downtown YMCA, so please bring completed forms or enroll in person at the Downtown YMCA, 510 S. Wall.
To register, pick up an enrollment form at either Joplin YMCA location. Drop off your completed form or enroll in person at the Downtown YMCA only. When you enroll, you will be given two registration options for the summer - a daily plan and a weekly plan. If you choose the daily plan, you may pay the daily rate for any days your child attends Day Camp, and you do not need to give notice of the days they plan to attend. If you choose the weekly plan, you will be asked to select the weeks your child will not be attending Day Camp when you enroll. You cannot switch from the daily program to the weekly or from the weekly to the daily. Whichever program you enroll in is the program you will stay with.
Scholarships are available based on household income. Please fully complete a scholarship application to apply.
