Drop off and pick up will be curbside from 7:00 a.m. – 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. Caregivers must sign their child in and out daily. At this time, we are not offering early drop-off or late pick-up. Late pick-ups will result in a late pick-up fee of $1 per minute per child. 

CHILD CARE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (CCAP)
The Lake Superior YMCA will send you an invoice at the beginning of every month for the outstanding balance. Please be advised that the county payments are often behind on their periods of service payouts and the bill may not reflect all periods of service that we have received payment on from the county.

All CCAP families must fill out a “CCAP Families Payment Agreement” that will be provided upon receipt of CCAP paperwork. It is the caregiver/guardian responsibility to:

●  Know what you have been awarded from the county.

●  Know your co-pay amount.

●  All communication with the county is the responsibility of the caregiver(caregiver/guardian).

●  The county is not allowed to share information with us beyond your awarded amount of coverage.

●  Pay balance in full.

Please notify your case worker directly that you are utilizing the Out-of-School Time program for care and what specific school site your child(ren) will be attending. Out-of-School Time has a child care provider number with St. Louis County. Families must do this at the beginning of the school year, and when the summer program begins if switching to a different school location. We can assist you with your provider number as needed.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

We believe every child should experience Out-of-School Time programming.  Thanks to the generous support of our donors, we are able to offer financial assistance to families in need. Families must apply for Child Care County Assistance prior to applying for financial assistance. Financial Assistance is awarded to qualified applicants on a first-come, first-served basis.

Families are responsible for all child care payments until financial assistance has been awarded. Financial assistance is awarded at a discounted rate based on qualifications and applies only to future enrollments, not past-due balances. Families should wait to receive their financial assistance award notification before registering their child for the program.

Financial assistance applications are available by contacting kcorbett@lakesuperiorymca.org or 218-722-4725 x 124.

Summer 2026 Registration opens on February 2, 2026.

Registration Fee:

Register online at lakesuperiorymca.org/register or contact 218-722-4745 x140/x103. Families must complete all registration forms and payments before their child can begin attending any program.

Be sure to have your child's current medical information, health history, and vaccination records available when registering. As a Minnesota state-certified program, we require vaccination records during registration to meet state-level certification requirements. If your child is exempt for immunizations, families must fill out an exemption form and be notarized.  To access this form, please call the Out-Of-School Time Director at 218-722-4745 x124 or at kcorbett@lakesuperiorymca.org.

A $52 deport is required at time of enrollment and is non-refundable after May 25. To view program fees, please visit lakesuperiorymca.org/register or contact 218-722-4745 x140/x103. Families pay two weeks in advance for the upcoming week.

If payment is not made by the deadline, your child will be unenrolled, and you will lose your spot for that week. Cancellations and changes must be made at least 17 days prior to the start of the camp week. No refunds will be given for missed days.

Regular email about the program will be shared with enrolled families. Welcome emails will be shared one week in advance from your child's week at day camp.
