Reasonable Accommodations
Tampa YMCA youth programs are open to all children,
including those with disabilities. We strive to provide services
to children with disabilities in the same manner as services
are provided for other children of comparable age, within the
bounds of what is reasonably possible.
We have an obligation to ensure the physical and emotional
safety of all of the children entrusted to our care. It is critical
that all pertinent information about the child’s needs be
available to staff from enrollment and that a continuing bond
of trust and mutual partnership exists for the benefit of the
child. A parent/guardian is encouraged to share relevant
medical, physical or behavioral issues caused by a disability
or environmental circumstances at the time of the child’s
enrollment and on an ongoing basis to the extent that such
issues require an accommodation. All information provided
will be kept as confidential as reasonably possible and used
only to establish what, if any, reasonable accommodation(s)
may be provided.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Communications From Camp
Email Communications
The camp’s primary means of communication is
through the email address provided during online
registration. Please check your email regularly and
add the Y (@tampaymca.org) to the preferred email
address list to prevent our emails from ending up in
your spam folder. Camp Directors will frequently send
emails throughout week with updates about your
campers’ adventures.
Social Media
Our camps are included in our YMCA center Facebook
and Instagram pages. Follow your camper’s YMCA
social media page to share in the fun!
Parent Information Area
Every camp site has an area especially designed for
parents, generally located near the camp office or
parent sign-out area. There you will find information
on activity schedules, weekly newsletter, calendar
of events, permission slips, and messages that are
important to you and your camper. Please take some
time to browse this area so you are up to date on camp
information.
