Garfield YMCA Summer Camp Field Trips & Optional Clubs

All field trips are by age group-please sign your child up for the trips coinciding with your child’s summer camp group. No child will be accepted on a trip that is not the same group as the camp they are signed up for.

Trips are first come/first serve. If your child misses the trip for any reason there is no refund or credits allowed. Spots are limited!

Permission slips must be signed in order for the child to be on the trip regardless of any prepayments made.

Please do not send your child with money on the field trip. We are not purchasing food or souvenirs at any field trip. Lunch will be provided for all trips during lunchtime. If your child wants something different for lunch please send your child with lunch (brown bag only-no reusable items such as lunch boxes, thermoses or water bottles) The Garfield YMCA will not be responsible for any of these items lost during a field trip.

Please check out each club before signing up-they each have a age restriction and limited spots as well. If you sign up for a club they are non refundable once they start, even if your child chooses not to participate or becomes unable to at any point.
