Y Adventure Camp

Fun + Adventure at Rock Point

Y Adventure Camp at Rock Point is our co-ed summer day camp for kids who have completed 3rd grade through age 13.

This camp takes place on the beautiful Rock Point property on the shores of Lake Champlain. Campers spend most of the day outside, and will have a chance to tend the gardens, use the outdoor pizza oven, swim, kayak, paddleboard, play games, create arts and crafts, do STEM activities, hike, and much more. This is a traditional outdoor camp full of fun and adventure. We appreciate the collaboration with Rock Point that allows us to access this incredible property at the reduced rate they extend to us as a community partner.

Campers bring lunch and two healthy snacks each day.

Financial Assistance

If you plan on applying for financial assistance, please reach out to [email protected] before you register.

Scholarships will be awarded by April 1st. Families who apply after this date may still be eligible for assistance depending on remaining scholarship funds. If the cost of camp is not accessible after the scholarship discount and the registration is cancelled, any registration fee or deposit paid will be refunded.

Financial Policies + FAQs

The Y requires that payment be made by credit card/debit card, or bank draft from a checking or savings account. Please note that a 2.5% service fee is added to all card transactions. Full tuition is due May 1. If your payment is declined, the Y will attempt to reprocess the payment one additional time before contacting you.

Please submit a Child Care EFT Authorization Form with your program application to the Y at 298 College Street, Burlington, VT 05401. You may also email your EFT Form to the Business Office at [email protected].

Camps must be paid in full before attending camp. Payment plans can be discussed with the Business Office.

If your payment declines, the Y will notify you of the decline and balance amount due. It is your responsibility to communicate with the Y’s Business Office to ensure your balance is paid in full. If there is a lack of communication and your balance is not paid in full, the Y reserves the right to cancel your enrollment in the program. The child’s enrollment in any other Y program will not be permitted until the account is paid in full. It is the sincere wish of the Y that none of the above steps will need to be taken. We appreciate you keeping your account up to date. Please contact the Y immediately if your financial circumstances change and you are unable to make your tuition payments, prior to your weekly or monthly withdrawal.

Unlike the Y’s Camp Koda, Y Adventure Camp is not a state-licensed program. As such, families cannot use subsidy funds received through the Vermont State Child Care Financial Assistance program. Please check out our Camp Koda program or inquire about Y financial assistance.

In keeping with the Y’s commitment to serve families regardless of their ability to pay, partial scholarships may be available to those who qualify for tuition assistance. We welcome you to contact the Business Office at [email protected] or 802-652-8190.
