When can I register for summer camp?
  • Registration for 2011 will open in January.

How do I register my camper?

  • Register online, stop in any Green Bay YMCA location, or call the YMCA at (920) 436-9622.  More information about the registration process will be available in January 2011.

How do I register my Teen Leader (IC, JC, AC)?

  • For IC's, and JC's, simply register online, stop in any Green Bay YMCA location, or call the YMCA at (920) 436-9622.
  • The Assistant Counselor program is open by application and interview with the Camp Director.  Information for the 2011 season will be available in January.

Can my child register with a friend?

  • You can make a buddy request on your registration form. Generally, campers who sign up for a specialty camp during the same session will always be grouped together.  Campers who choose the traditional camp weeks will be granted buddy requests if the children are of the same gender and within one year of age.

This year has been tough for us financially.  Is there anything we can do to make the camp fees more manageable for our family?

  • Absolutely.  We believe so strongly in the power of the camp experience that we are prepared to work with you in order to bring your child to camp.  Information about financial aid with be available in January for the 2011 season.

Can my child attend more than one week of camp?

  • Of course!  It's very common for us to see kids more than once during the summer - or even for the entire summer!  In that case, we make sure that we place your camper with different counselors throughout the summer while they enjoy new groups of kids each week.  Weekly themes keep things exciting, too.  If your camper is at least 9 years of age, we highly recommend taking a look at our specialty camp offerings that include extra field trips and special activities.

We want to do a specialty camp.  When will we know exactly what trips we are going on and what we need to bring?

  • Itineraries of the week are sent to you in the mail following your registration.
  • 2011 Specialty Camps will be announced in January.  Visit the Specialty Camp page to view last year's options.

What does my child need to bring with them to camp?

  • The recommended daily packing list includes a bag lunch, a filled water bottle, sturdy shoes (flip flops are not suitable for active games on our terrain), swimsuit, towel, water shoes (required for swim time), sunscreen, and bug repellant.  Camp Wabansi provides an afternoon snack each day.

I'm not sure if my camper will want to stay overnight on Thursday night.  Can we decide later?

  • Sure! You and your camper can make that decision all the way up to that very day.  Camp will be in touch with you that week about your plans.

Where can my camper get on the bus to go to camp?

  • We use five daily bus stops: the East Side YMCA on Huron Road, the West Side YMCA on Cardinal Lane, Langlade Elementary School next door to the Broadview YMCA, Luxemburg-Casco High School, and County Road DK in Dyckesville.

Can I drop off my child at Camp Wabansi instead of driving them in to Green Bay to catch the bus?

  • Of course!  Just let us know when you register.
