Additionally, campers should be able to carry their backpacks, so it's important to avoid over-packing. Please ensure that all belongings, including sunscreen, are labeled with your camper's name.
Campers should arrive dressed for the present weather conditions, and be sure to check the forecast for the day before leaving home. In addition to what your camper is wearing, they may want to bring the following:
We believe every child should experience camp. Thanks to the generous support of our donors, we are able to offer up to one week of financial assistance to families.

Please contact Jeramy Katchuba at jkatchuba@duluthymca.org with any questions regarding the financial aid application. Return completed applications with documentation to Jeramy Katchuba at jkatchuba@duluthymca.org.

The C.I.T. (Counselor in Training) program is designed for youth in 6th grade and above. C.I.T.s will actively participate in programs such as School Age Childcare or Day Camp. Training for C.I.T.s will take place on June 10th and 11th, with a meeting beforehand with a mentor to introduce you to staff and the program. During this period, participants will acquire skills in working with children, become certified in basic first aid and CPR, sample games and crafts, and learn the responsibilities associated with being a C.I.T.
Upon successful completion of the C.I.T. training, individuals will be able to choose where they would like to spend their time (YMCA Camp Tall Pines or School-Age Care). Please note that positions are limited, so it's advisable to sign up early to secure a spot.
