REGISTERING FOR SUMMER
USING OUR NEW ONLINE STORE

Whether you're new to YMCA Summer Camps or a seasoned veteran, there are a few things you'll want to know about our new online registration process. In October 2009 we launched an online store that enables us to offer online registration for many of our program offerings like Swimming Lessons and Summer Camps. The ordering process is different than you may have experienced in prior years.

STEP 1 - MEMBERSHIP STEP 2 - REGISTER FOR PROGRAMS

STEP 1 - START WITH MEMBERSHIP

You need to be a facility or program member to register for Summer Camps. More about these memberships here.

New to the YMCA? You'll need to purchase a membership and then return here to www.ysummer.org to select the camp you'd like to register for. You may then continue to register for summer camp.
If you're an existing facility member or have purchased an annual program membership within the past 12 months, and haven't used the online store yet, you'll need to activate your online account. You can do this first or as part of the registration process. Click here to read more and activate your online account...
If you're an existing member of the YMCA and have used the online store before, you're all set to register for programs. All you'll need is your login information. Click here to move ahead to STEP 2 and register for YMCA Summer Camps...

I'm new to the YMCA and need to Purchase a Membership
Visit our main website and purchase a membership. You have two main membership types to choose from:

A family Facility Membership allows you unlimited use of 12 different membership facilities in King County, including most health and wellness programs. Specialty classes and programs with fees are offered at a lower rate to members. For example, YMCA Summer Camps are $25 less per week with a family Facility Membership. There are several types of Facility Memberships to choose from that offer different monthly rates.
A Program Membership enables you to sign-up for select YMCA programs such as YMCA Summer Camps, swim lessons, youth sports, child care, parent-child programs, etc. The annual fee is $50 and allows any member of your family to sign-up for YMCA programs.

You'll be able to select a YMCA location that's convenient for you to call your home YMCA. Once you've purchased your membership, return here to www.ysummer.org and select the summer camps you'd like to register for.

Also check off Wrap Around Care for each week that you need care. Wrap Around Care will be located directly beneath the week of camp for a given calendar week for those camps offering Wrap Around Care as an add-on option.

Once you've selected the weeks you'd like, click the Register button.
Account Access / Log In

Review your selections
A $15 deposit will be required for each session you are registering for. The deposit is nonrefundable. All deposits and payments will be credited to your family's summer program fees. Deposits are transferable and may be used by other family members, or for other programs.

You'll need to check the "Schedule?" box for each week. If you need to change the payment date, complete the order process and contact your local YMCA to make the adjustment.

Once you've reviewed your selections and made any desired adjustments click Next.
