Preparing for camp at Richmond Hill Swan Lake Y Day Camp
Whether your child is an experienced camper or it is their first camp experience, it is always helpful to know what they can expect at your camp location this summer!
Campers will bus to Oak Ridges Community Centre on Tuesday and Thursday of each week to participate in recreational swim, they will have access to the water slide. Kinder campers do not swim, they will enjoy water activities in the outdoor splash pad - please ensure they have water shoes.
Follow the Y Day Camp signs, entering from Bethesda Side Rd. Staff will greet you at the entrance and provide further instructions on our kiss and ride sign in.
In order to be placed in the same group as a friend, campers must be in the same age group and registered in the same program. For us to efficiently track the requests, you will need to complete this form for each individual week you are making a request for.
Please ensure your request is sent at least 2 weeks before the start of the program. We do our best to accommodate all requests, however we can not guarantee. If requests are submitted with less than 2 weeks before the start of the program we can not accommodate the request. Please note, one family will submit the request for both campers. Please only submit the request for your camper and one friend.
Thank you!

Although we try to keep campers' items in their backpacks, occasionally things are forgotten. Any items lost at camp are collected daily and kept in the camp office. If your camper loses an item, contact the Camp Director immediately and they will try to find it.
All lost items will only be stored on-site for one week, after which they will be donated to a local charity.
Unfortunately, the Y cannot take responsibility for lost items.
Please check your camper's possessions daily to ensure they arrive home with them.
