REGISTRATION INFORMATION

Camp Registration Schedule

ONLINE: March 1 at 7AM

Visit your home YMCA web site's "Register Now" tab to complete your registration entirely online! Registration for all camps will close one week prior to the beginning of each camp week. For more information and instructions on using our program guide and registering for camps go to the how to register section a the bottom of this page. 

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

Below are options of applications for financial aid toward program fees. While we are a not-for-profit organization, we do depend on participation fees to help maintain our programs and services. We are committed to serve people regardless of their income, but we do expect participants to pay a fee based on their financial ability.

APPLY FOR CHILDCARE AFFORDABILITY PROGRAM (CCAP)

Maine’s childcare subsidy program helps eligible families pay for child care/camp so they can go to work, go to school, or participate in job training programs. Visit www.maine.gov or call 1-877-680-5866 for more information on how to apply, or use this link to view the application.

APPLY FOR SCHOLARSHIP

Summer camp scholarships are granted to families who need financial support who are not eligible for subsidy through the state, based on income. Please be sure to apply for scholarships through the Y early, as we grant dollars on a first-come, first-serve basis. Applicants must reside in the Lincoln County Area and meet yearly household income requirements.

SET UP A PAYMENT PLAN

All fees are due at the time of registration. Payment plan options are available. Payment plan dates run from camp registration through 10 days prior to the start date of your camper’s session.

For more information through the Boothbay Region YMCA, connect with Erin Gray; egray@brymca.org

For more information through the Central Lincoln County YMCA, connect with Morgan Perry; mperry@clcymca.org

CAMPDOC ONLINE

CampDoc is a secure network, used to collect campers’ medical and emergency contact information electronically. If you have an account through CampDoc last season, please make sure all of the information is updated for 2023.

Your camp registration will not be considered complete until the required documents are into the network. No exceptions will be made.

CHOOSING CAMPS AND HOW TO REGISTER

Our summer camps are open to campers from both the Boothbay and Damariscotta regions. To make it easier for families to see what camps are available to their kids we include all camps in one guide. However this can create some confusion in determining which camps are offered where and how you can register for them. Click here to view all the options we are offering this summer!
