PD Day, School Break, and Summer Day Camps

Summer Camp Updates

The Guelph Y is responding to COVID-19 across all its program areas, including Guelph Y Day Camps. On June 9th, 2020, our Provincial government announced that summer day camps are able to run! The health of our community is our first priority. We thank everyone for your patience and understanding as we all respond together to this unprecedented situation. 

Preventative measures that are in place at Guelph Y Day Camps:

• An active pre-screening and symptom monitoring procedures for all campers, parents and staff that is implemented
• Enhanced cleaning procedures of shared surfaces are in place across sites, using products approved by Health Canada for the disinfection of surfaces
• Frequent and thorough handwashing is being encouraged for all campers and staff. Handwashing stations and hand sanitizer are readily available across our sites and are restocked/cleaned frequently throughout the day. All campers are required to wash hands before and after eating, and before entering any building
• Our social distancing efforts include, among other things, reducing the number of campers at tables at lunch and snack, ensuring all campers/staff travel in designated small groups each day, maintaining, and being mindful of any games or program activities that require close or prolonged person-to-person contact.

Special Note: Leader in Training (LIT) Program

It makes us very sad to say that we have to cancel the LIT program this year. All families who registered and have paid in-full or paid a deposit, will receive a full refund within the next two weeks.

Serving youth is a huge part of what we do at the Y, so even though LIT isn't running this summer, we are still planning to offer many programs to this age group when we can safely do so. Just before the start of COVID-19 we began running a Teen Night every Friday at the Y and saw some early success. You can expect programs like this to continue when we are able to safely re-open our spaces.
