CLOSURE UPDATE: Per mandate from Governor Polis, and because it is the right thing to do, our facilities are closed. Check here for COVID-19 updates. We are running emergency childcare for any family who needs care.

CAMP NOCO

LONGMONT

Join the Y this summer for a safe, enriching licensed day camp program. Campers will make tons of friends, disconnect from technology and thrive in a welcoming community. Based on CDC and state guidelines, this summer’s modified camp programs will focus on helping kids unplug, try new activities, learn new skills, enjoy tons of physical activity and bond with friends (yes, socially distanced bonds). Because we are not offering most of our specialty camps this summer, we will include aspects of our sports, STEAM and outdoor education camps into this well-rounded traditional day camp. Activities include camp songs and cheers, archery, sports and games, science fun, arts, crafts and humanities, and much more! Enthusiastic and well-trained staff will ensure a safe, healthy and super fun summer.

Part-time and full-time options available. All campers will be divided into small groups. We are required to maintain small group sizes, so space is limited.

The precautions we are taking to protect your family during COVID-19:

Only curbside (outdoor) pick-up and drop-off will be permitted to limit the number of people entering the buildings. All parents must wear masks during drop-off and pick-up. It is very important that you allow additional time for drop-off every morning to allow for wellness checks.
We will do wellness checks for all children at sign-in. A parent must sign off on symptoms within the last 48 hours. All campers will have their temperature recorded upon entry into the building. If a child has a temperature at or above 100.4 degrees or shows any signs or symptoms, per the local Department of Public Health, they will not be able to remain at camp and may be asked to quarantine before returning to camp.
Staff members are required to wear masks, per CDC guidelines, and children under 12 are recommended — but not required — to wear masks while at camp. Children 12 and up are required to wear masks. We currently have extra masks for children, but we ask that you provide a mask for your camper, if possible, as we have a limited supply.
Our staff members are doing frequent cleaning and disinfecting of all spaces and objects that are used during camp.
We will be on heightened alert for symptoms and enacting a more stringent sick policy to avoid having sick children or children with potential contagious symptoms in the program.
Campers will be kept in smaller groups spread out in more program areas to reduce proximity with others.
Increased frequency of hand-washing for staff and children throughout the day.
Please send your child with a refillable water bottle daily as the drinking fountains will not be permitted.

Creative Campers

Session 3: June 8-12

Let’s get artsy, shall we? Let’s paint, make and create. During this week, our campers celebrate their artistic skills and interests (and maybe even get a little messy, but don’t worry, it’s artistic expression). We will use our hands to create masterpieces with paint, chalk, clay and other raw materials. We’ll even add in some music. This week will be a work of art.

Welcome to the Jungle

Session 4: June 15-19

In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the campers play and explore. During this week of camp, we are going to the birds… and lions… and butterflies. Campers will spend the week enjoying animal-inspired activities and games. It’s gonna be wild!

Survival of the Fittest

Session 5: June 22-26

We are embracing our inner competitors for this week of team and individual challenges. We like to think of it as survival of the funnest (yes, we know that’s not a word) as we try out ninja warrior courses, Minute to Win It challenges, games and more. No matter a camper’s skills — whether it be brain, brawn or beyond — we will celebrate their individual strengths and their group successes.

Islands of Adventure

Session 6: June 29-July 2 (no camp July 3)

Ahoy there, friends! Shiver me timbers… OK, you get the point. During this week of camp, we are going on a treasure hunt. Captain Blackbeard buried his booty at YMCA Camp Noco but has lost the map to reclaim it. We join forces to race against other pirates to find the lost treasure. Arrr you ready?

To Infinity and Beyond

Session 7: July 6-10

5, 4, 3, 2, 1… Blast off! This week is one small step for camp and one giant leap for camper-kind. We will put on our space suits and practice our moonwalk as we spend the week exploring deep space. Gaze at the stars, dive into the solar system and try to keep your boots firmly on the ground. It’s going to be a bumpy ride!
