DAY CAMP STATEMENT OF UNDERSTANDING

Statement of Understanding I have read, and agree to abide by the Maui Family YMCA Day Camp Parent Handbook. I understand the policies and procedures set forth in the handbook.
Payments & Late Fees:
-Payments are due in full on the Friday before the upcoming week
-Payments will be considered late on Saturday and will be assessed a $25 late fee
-In the event of a returned check, a $10 fee will be assessed and all future payments must be made by money order, cash or credit card
-Payments will not be pro-rated due to absences or inclement weather
Refund Policy:
-For a full refund, cancellation must be made at least 48 hours prior to the start date of program
-A cancellation fee of $25 will be assessed if cancellation request is made after the start date of program
-Cancellations after the end date of the program are non-refundable
Expulsion Policy: The YMCA reserves the right to end your child’s enrollment with or without refund if the staff deems in the best interest and/or safety of the camper, other campers, parents or staff. If a child’s enrollment termination is deemed necessary by staff, parents will be informed of reasons for termination.
Check In: The YMCA requires that all children are to be properly signed in by an adult and turned over to a YMCA staff person. This helps ensure the safety of your child. The YMCA does not and will not assume responsibility for children that arrive before the start time at any location.
Check Out: Sign your child out when you pick them up from camp. Please bring a photo ID with you every day. Children will be released only to those on the authorized pick-up list specified on the child’s information sheet. It is the parent’s responsibility to notify the camp of any changes in authorization. Those picking up children should be prepared to show identification to the camp staff member upon request. No child will be released to anyone who is not authorized to pick up that child.
Late Pick-Up: We close promptly at 5:30 PM. For all children not picked up by the end of the program, a late fee of $1 per minute, per child will be assessed. Payment should be made directly to staff on duty, not the Welcome Center.   After your third late fee please note that you may be asked to withdraw your child from camp.   If you are running late, please notify the camp and attempt to make alternate pick-up arrangements.
Illness Criteria: Children must be healthy enough to participate in the program’s daily routine. We do not have the facilities to care for sick children and therefore do not allow them to attend the program. For the safety and comfort of your child, please keep them home until they feel better and no longer present the danger of passing on their illness. Please notify the YMCA if your child or any member of your immediate household develops a communicable condition (as defined by the local health department), such as pink eye, chicken pox or lice. Parents are responsible to notify the YMCA within 24 hours or the next business day. In the case of a life-threatening illness, please notify the YMCA immediately. It is important for us to post a notice to other parents as soon as possible. In the case that your child becomes ill during the program, you will be contacted as soon as possible. If the parent or guardian is unable to be reached, the child’s emergency contact will be notified. It is the responsibility of the parents to arrange for the child to be picked up from the center as soon as possible. Your child may return to camp when they no longer present the danger of passing on their illness or communicable condition.
Accidents/Emergencies: All precautions will be taken to prevent serious health risks to all campers. In the event that a minor injury occurs, First Aid will be administered at the camp location by the camp staff. The following procedures will be followed:
-First Aid will be provided and the incident recorded in the camp log.
-The child will periodically be observed after First Aid has been applied.
In the event of a medical emergency, immediate action will be taken by the staff as per the policies and waivers. Please be sure to keep these forms updated at all times. If parents or other responsible adults are unable to be reached, the child will be taken to the nearest hospital for any necessary treatment.
Children At Risk: Parents who arrive at the YMCA in an incapacitated condition (i.e. alcohol, drugs) present a risk to their child. The staff in charge will advise the parent of their options regarding the transportation of their child to his/her home. Some options that may be exercised are:
-Call the other parent
-Call another person on the child’s emergency contact list
-Call a nearby neighbor/friend
If a reasonable conclusion cannot be reached, the parent will be advised that either Child Protective Services or the Police will be called.
Code of Conduct: Our Day Camp programs strive to meet the needs of all children without ignoring the demands of any one individual within the boundaries of set guidelines and rules. The YMCA School Age Child Development programs have established rules, consequences and a zero tolerance policy on specific behaviors. The YMCA reserves the right to suspend or expel a child from the program at any time based on the severity of the actions of the child.
YMCA Rules:
-Keep hands, feet, body and objects to yourself

SWIM LESSON GUIDELINES

Regarding Payment
Once a participant is able to come off the waitlist, the Programs Director will automatically sign them up for the appropriate package and run the associated charge on the payment method that we have on file. The assigned Swim Instructor will then reach out to the participant about scheduling. For Renewals: Renewing for another package can only be done in-person with the Welcome Center or via email with the Programs Director. Should the latter method be used, the payment method on file will be automatically used towards purchase of another package.

Regarding Refunds

Maui Family YMCA will issue full refunds on swim lessons up until the start date of the designated swim sessions or anytime before the participation in the first lesson in a package. After a session has started a refund cannot be issued unless approved by the Aquatics Director. Below is a list of approved instances for refunds/credits.

1. Maui YMCA will issue a partial credit for any lessons cancelled due to absence of instructor, weather cancellation, or unexpected pool closures.
2. Maui YMCA will issue a credit or refund for missing a class due to illness of parent or student with a valid doctors note.
3. Maui YMCA will issue refunds for serious concerns regarding lessons. If your child has a bad experience please let us know, we want to do our best to build strong confident swimmers.

Thank you for being understanding regarding our swim lesson guidelines. Our guidelines are to due high demand for lessons with limited spots for everyone. These ground rules help us serve as many program participants as possible. Thank you for registering for Y swim lessons.

Retroactive Refunds
I understand that NO member discount can be applied retroactively if I decide to purchase swim lessons at the Non-Member Price on any date before membership activation.

Please note: Private Swim Lesson Packages are due to expire one year after purchase. All unused lessons in a package at the time of expiration are forfeit and not eligible for use or a credit/refund.

RECURRING YMCA PROGRAM SIGN-UP AGREEMENT

I understand that by signing up for this program, I authorize the Maui Family YMCA to add on a monthly charge according to the regular rate of the program either along with my regular monthly membership dues taken out on the 20th of every month or every 1st of the month, if I am not a member. I understand that this is a perpetual charge that will only stop unless I formally submit a cancellation request either online via the Maui Family YMCA Website, in-person with the Maui Family YMCA Welcome Center, or via email with the Membership Coordinator of the Maui Family YMCA. I understand that all cancellation requests must be made at least 30 days in advance of either the next scheduled monthly draft on the 20th or the 1st, depending on whether I have a membership at the Y or not, in order to stop that upcoming charge.

RECURRING YMCA PROGRAM CANCELLATION AGREEMENT

I understand that this is a formal request to cancel my registration for the Recurring YMCA Program that I, or my child, are currently signed up for and to cease any further monthly auto-payments. I understand that this cancellation request must be made at least 30 days in advance before the next scheduled monthly draft on either the 20th or the 1st, according to my or my child’s membership status at the Y, in order to stop that upcoming charge from being deducted. I understand that it is too late to stop the scheduled payment for the current month and accept the charge for the current month without issue.
