2021 SUMMER CAMP GUIDE - North ...
Dear NSYMCA Families,
We are thrilled to announce that Summer Camp 2021 registration is open at the
North Suburban YMCA! Returning families, we cannot wait to see you again this
summer. New families, we are so excited to welcome you into the NSYMCA family!
Our mission, vision, and values are not just words on paper; we are a Y and a camp
that is truly for ALL.

In 2020, we successfully facilitated camp with zero cases of COVID-19 and
we received an unprecedented 100% positive experience rating through our family
assessments. We are incredibly proud of these accomplishments and strive to
achieve this level of success again in 2021.

Explore our camp guide and browse our wide variety of camp options and
programming. We understand that each family has individual needs and interests
and we work hard to accommodate everyone by providing weekly registration,
3- or 4-day registration discount, 1/2-day camps, payment plans, scholarships,
member discounts, multi-child discounts, and MORE!

All camp information can be found on our camp website. For a deeper exploration on
camp, policies and procedures please check out our 2021 Parent Guide online.

Planning camp certainly has been challenging as we know there is uncertainty with
our “new normal”. But as we successfully did last summer, we will follow the CDC
guidelines and the Camp Field Guide. As we receive information, we will regularly
update families to keep everyone well-informed.

One thing we are sure about is that camp at the NSYMCA will be FUN! From
everyone here at the NSYMCA family, we hope you consider joining us this year for
the BEST SUMMER EVER!

If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please email camp registrar
Nicole Hatfield (registrar@nsymca.org) or me (rgonzalez@nsymca.org) at any time.

COUNSELOR
IN-TRAINING
(C.I.T.)
The Counselor-in-Training (CIT) program is a 5-week intensive, hands-
on training experience that gives teens valuable insight into the role of
a camp counselor.

Our CIT program is designed to offer qualified young people an
opportunity to prepare for positions as camp counselors or recreation
leaders. Emphasis is placed upon developing leadership skills,
appropriate childcare, and program skills.

Guided by an experienced CIT Program Coordinator, CITs will develop
their decision-making and problem-solving skills by assisting with daily
activities and camper care.

CITs will be trained to work alongside our counselors, implement games
and activities, and assist on field trips. They will work with various
camp groups, allowing them to experience a wide array of opportunities
throughout the summer. CITs will participate in leadership workshops
and trainings throughout the summer.

Applicants must be an NSYMCA member, fill out a CIT application,
provide two references and complete an interview. Not all applicants
who apply and interview will be accepted.

Only accepted participants will be provided registration information.

For more information regarding the CIT program, please contact Camp
Director Ricky Gonzalez at rgonzalez@nsymca.org.
