At the
Chilton County YMCA, we divide our campers into age groups and provide
them with a Camp Counselor who will lead activities appropriate for that
particular group, assuring the best possible experience for every kid!
Scampers (Ages 5-6)
Designed for first-time campers, the activities for this age group
include creative games, arts and crafts, stories, songs, and daily
recreational swimming.
Trailblazers (Ages 7-11)
Designed for children who really enjoy the outdoors, this camp has an
active program filled with sports, games, arts and crafts, hiking,
nature lore, large and small group activities, and recreational
swimming.
Explorers (Ages 11-12)
While enjoying the recreational fun of camp, young people at this
challenging stage of life will participate in group sessions dealing
with life skills needed to meet the teenage years head on.
Counselors-In-Training Program (Ages 15-17)
The Counselors-In-Training program gives motivated teens the range of
knowledge, attitudes and ability to become successful day camp
counselors. See the Executive Director for a C.I.T. application.
What Will My Child Do?
There are activities for every
child’s interest at Chilton County YMCA camps. Every camper will
participate in age-appropriate activities that include devotions,
assemblies, sports, games, crafts, swimming, and special events; all
adding up to 9 weeks summer fun!
Specialty Camps/Sports Camps
These camps are for ages 8 and up. Some of these

The Chilton County YMCA strives to serves the needs
of all members of our community regardless of their ability to pay. To apply for
financial assistance, simply ask for a financial aid form. (Financial assistance
is awarded on a need and availability basis; verification of need is required.)
Financial assistance is made possible by YMCA members and your
community’s friends and neighbors through the association’s annual giving
program, “Campaign for Kids.” We will be happy to provide you with
complete information about this program. Call our office at 205-755-2382 for

Anything Else You Need to Know!
Wear comfortable clothing, socks and tennis shoes! Bring a swimsuit and towel on water fun days. Please bring an early snack, sack lunch, evening snack and three (3) drinks each day.
NOTE: By enrolling your children in Chilton County YMCA Summer Camp, you agree to allow the organization to take photographs of your children during practices and games to be used for publicity and print materials. If you are not comfortable having your child photographed for any reason please inform the Camp Director.
Staff
When parents leave their children in the care of others, it is important that they have peace of mind about who is watching their children. At the YMCA, we choose our staff for their love of children, and their teaching skills. All staff members go through an extensive training program. Our camp counselors do not baby sit: they teach and encourage children, helping them grow in maturity, self-esteem, and social confidence.
