In recognition of
LUKE WARD
In 2010, the Sewickley Valley YMCA recognized Luke Ward
for his dedication and passion for the Y and our community.
Luke graciously donated his time and talent to the Y through
his leadership roles on the Board and in our development
efforts. Luke is committed to removing financial barriers
so that all may be a part of our YMCA. With his assistance,
the Sewickley Valley YMCA is better able to support friends,
neighbors, and the community.
GIVE THE GIFT OF CAMP
Last summer, the Y awarded $84,113 in financial assistance to 337 kids so they could
attend Summer Day Camp. Our community faces new challenges that create a greater
need than ever for the work the Y does every day. Fortunately, where some see
obstacles, we see opportunities for our YMCA and members to make a difference.
You can give every child the opportunity to explore, swim, and stay
active and engaged while building a positive foundation for their future.
Please consider a gift
of $5 to support sending
kids to camp at the
Sewickley Valley YMCA.

TEEN CAMP
TEEN ADVENTURE (GRADES 6-9)
Teens will go on four to six field trips during each session (cost is included in the registration fee). Past
trips include wave pool, museums, and mini golf. Campers will also participate in a variety of
activities including sports, hikes, themes, and games. Drop-off is on the front steps of YMCA.
COUNSELOR IN TRAINING (GRADES 7-10)
This program is for campers who are interested in becoming counselors. It teaches campers how to
become responsible, organized and prepared leaders through various team-building and leadership
activities. Campers will participate in leading, planning, and assisting all camps with games, songs,
swimming, sports, crafts and more. We will divide our CIT’s into two categories - Sr. CIT or Jr. CIT. By
doing this, we will be able to provide an experience and opportunity that will specifically assist our CITs to
grow and mature at their own pace.
Sr. CIT Participants that have been a CIT the previous summer and have shown the dedication and
responsibility to be in this category. Sr. CITs will have the opportunity to lead in a way that is similar to our
camp staff. Creating games, songs, themes, and special events will be heavily emphasized in the hope of
preparing participants to apply for the Jr. Counselor position (age 16). Sr. CITs will not oversee or
supervise Jr. CITs. Jr. CIT All new CIT participants regardless of age or grade level will enter the program as a Jr. CIT. Activities will include; assisting with games, snack time, and special events. These participants can be
moved to the Sr. CIT at the discretion of our Head Counselor or Camp Director due to age, experience,
and maturity.
Interviews are required for new CITs. Applicants must demonstrate maturity, commitment, an ability to work well with
others, and leadership potential. Daily drop-off is at the Teen Center in the YMCA.

POLICY ASSOCIATED WITH
LATE PICK-UP
If a parent/guardian are going to be late for
pick-up, please call 412-741-9622 ext 103 to
inform the camp director. If repeated late pick-ups
occur - the camper may be removed from the camp
program. Please respect the pick-up times for
staff/safety concerns.
EARLY PICK-UP
Camps will always be at their designated pick-up
locations at 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. If you need to
pick-up your child earlier, please come directly to
our front desk at the YMCA so they can locate the
appropriate camp. Since the camps have freedom
to roam throughout our camp area during the day,
please allow time to locate your child.
INCLEMENT WEATER
During rain please refer to our YMCA App for
updates and whether the camps are inside or out.
Look for the rainy day signs that will be posted at
the entrance of the parking lots as well as in War
Memorial Park.
AQUATIC SAFETY IS A TOP PRIORITY
At the Y we care about our campers’ safety at the pools. Adhering to all policies and procedures
concerning pool safety is vital to ensure that our campers enjoy their time in the pool safely.
All Camp participants must have a swim test before they enter the pool. We will divide our campers into
three categories to run efficient swimming lessons. Children swimming in the large pool will wear colored
“Safety Necklaces” that will designate the level/ability the camper has in the swimming pool. Camp staff
and Lifeguards will always be with the campers during the swim time. Children will be separated into
three categories based on skill level:
BEGINNER (RED)
Children who have little or no swimming background. Possibly have a fear of the water. Lessons would
be held in the shallow (3 ft.) end of the pool. A “Swim Trainer” water back float will be provided for all
non-swimmers for children 6 years old and under.
INTERMEDIATE (YELLOW)
Children who can doggie paddle or float and have no fear of the water. Lessons will be held in the middle
(4 ft. to 5 ft.) of the pool.
ADVANCED (GREEN)
Children who have taken swimming lessons before and demonstrate the ability to use freestyle or front
crawl for ½ the length of the pool without stopping. Lessons will be held in the deep (5 ft. to 12 ft.) end
of the pool.

Thank you for your cooperation.

INJURIES
PROCEDURE FOR REPORTING
SUSPECTED CHILD ABUSE
If a child is mildly injured during the daily activities,
the camp staff will administer first aid. If the injury
requires outside medical attention, the child will be
taken to the Emergency Room at the hospital by
ambulance and accompanied by the Camp Director
or Head Counselor. The parent will be called and
should meet the child at the Emergency Room. An
incident report will be filled out for all injuries for
the YMCA records.
As a YMCA Day Camp program, we are mandated
by Pennsylvania state law to report all incidents of
suspected child abuse or imminent risk. If a case
of child abuse is suspected by a staff member, it
will be the responsibility of the staff who witnessed
the abuse or had information disclosed to them to
report this information to authorities via the Child
Hotline. All staff and volunteers in the Day Camp
program will be trained on Child Abuse Prevention.
MEDICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Please be sure to inform the Camp Counselor of any
food allergies that your child may have. If any
medical consideration(s) should arise with your
child during the course of the summer, please notify
the counselors immediately. Medication should be
sent in the original prescription bottle with only the
dosage allotted for that day. Any variations of this
will not be accepted.
TSS / CAMP AID INFORMATION
RELEASE OF A CHILD TO IMPAIRED PERSON
POLICY
All campers that require a TSS or Aid to accompany
them throughout a school day, must have the TSS
or Aid in the Day Camp Program. All parties must
touch base with Rachel Pontis (412) 741-9622 ext.
122 two weeks prior to the beginning date of camp
with completed forms (Act 33 & 34 clearances along
with his or her company’s liability insurance). Please
remember that the same TSS or aid must
accompany the child for the entire two-week
session. (The YMCA does not allow multiple TSS
or aids per child). All Camp participants need to
be potty-trained. No pull-ups, diapers, or training pants will be permitted. If payment is being
made by an outside agency or school district, there
will always be space, but certain camps cannot be
guaranteed. BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT
Basic rules include having respect for each other,
the property of others, the YMCA facility, the child’s
safety and the security of the group. Children have
input in deciding the rules for their group and in the
establishment of acceptable group standards. Behavior management is accomplished through a
positive approach which will respect the child as an
individual. Discipline procedures are handled
individually, usually with a mild consequence that is
associated with the particular infraction. “Time Out”
is used on a limited basis. No child shall be
subjected to punishment that subjects a child to
verbal abuse, ridicule, humiliation, denial of food,
rest, or bathroom facilities. There is no punishment
for soiling, wetting, or not using the toilet, and no
punishment related to eating or not eating food.
sewickleyymca.org
In response to the growing focus on child care and
day camp issues, specifically concerning liability and
insurance, the Sewickley Valley YMCA Child Care
Department and Day Camp Department have
expanded the Department of Welfare’s policy
concerning the release of children to parent or other
designated adults who appear to the Day Camp
staff to be in an impaired condition. An impaired
condition specifically relates to alcohol,
mind-altering chemicals or other medical conditions
that render a person unable to operate a motor
vehicle and thereby endanger the safety of a child
who would be transported by the impaired person.
If, in the judgment of the responsible personnel at
the Day Camp, a parent or designated person
appears to be unable to safely transport a child, the
Day Camp personnel will ask the parent or
designated person to arrange such transportation. If the person is unwilling to provide such alternate
transportation, the matter will be referred to the
police before the child is released for transportation.
The Day Camp recognizes that this is a stringent
policy but we are morally, and could even be legally
responsible if we release a child to an impaired
person. Hopefully the necessity to implement this
policy will not arise, but should it, the parent/
designated person must be apprised of the policy.
TERMINATION AND SUSPENSION
The Sewickley Valley YMCA reserves the right to
suspend and/or terminate day camp services with a
one-day advance notice to families. When the
health, welfare and safety of other children are at
stake the YMCA reserves the right to terminate the
day camp services immediately. Possible reasons
for suspension and/or termination of a child from
day camp include: inappropriate behavior
considered to be harmful to your child, staff or
others, chronic tardiness at pick-up time, overdue
fees, parent/guardian behavior, as determined and
discussed with the Day Camp Director.
