Please be sure to register for the correct camp during the checkout process. If you have registered for the incorrect camp program, please reach out to the office. 

Initial registration is limited. We try our best to accommodate as many campers as possible while being in accordance with Department of Health counselor-to-camper ratio mandates. If the website says registration is full, please put your child(ren) on the waitlist for your desired camp. As we hire more camp counselors and spaces become available, we will reach out to families on the waitlist. Note, to fully be added to the waitlist you will have to proceed with checkout on the Community Pass website. There is no charge for being added to the waitlist. Please ensure all contact information on the Community Pass account is accurate.

School District residents are those who attend the Yorktown or Lakeland School Districts but are not Town of Yorktown taxpayers. We allow school district residents to register for our day camps at the resident rate alongside residents. 

When registering online using Community Pass, any account not on the Yorktown Tax Roll is marked as nonresident, which will include many School District resident accounts. This will block your ability to register. In order to be able to register online without interruption, please call the Recreation Department PRIOR to the camp registration date to be made exempt. This will allow you to register on time without any difficulties.

For any non-regular drop off or pick up times, please call you camp's Director using the designated Camp Phone Number.

Each group will follow a daily schedule of activities including swim, sports, organized games, music, nature, and gym. Specialized activities are lead by our Activity Specialists who have experience in their designated activity. This schedule is prepared by the Day Camp Directors and is subject to change due to weather conditions, special events, etc.  Below is an example of a Day Camp Calendar and a Daily Schedule. 

Our camps are an indoor/outdoor combination. A large part of camp will be held outdoors, with indoor spaces being utilized when appropriate. We ask to please prepare your child accordingly for the elements. 

No! We will be able to hold camp indoors even when it is raining. Camp may only be canceled in the case of severe, dangerous weather.

In the extreme case that camp needs to be canceled, parents will be contacted via email as soon as that decision has been made. Please be sure the main email contact on your Community Pass account is accurate to ensure you receive any notifications regarding camp.  

Yes! Our FULL DAY CAMPS visit one of our pool facilities daily as part of their scheduled activities, weather permitting.  Transportation to and from the pool facilities is provided. 

SWIM TESTING: SWIMMER VS. NON-SWIMMER: On their first day at the pool, all campers must complete a swim test with our Certified Water Safety Instructor in order to be designated as a ‘swimmer’ or a ‘non-swimmer’. These designations will give permission to the campers to utilize certain parts of the pool facility. Swimmers will be provided a green wristband, Non-Swimmers will be provided a red wristband to clearly indicate their designations. 

At Junior Lake Pool: Main Pool has float lines indicating Swimmer area and Non-Swimmer area, in accordance with the Westchester County Department of Health. Both Swimmers and Non-Swimmers have access to the Slide Pool.
