Does my child need a membership to go to camp?

  • To register for Mountain Mist Day Camp, your child must have a current membership at the Meriden or New Britain-Berlin YMCA. Your child would need to be part of a family membership or have their own youth membership.
  • If you are a new camp family and are interested in a family membership, ask about our special membership offer for new camp families who sign up by March 31, 2025.
  • You do not need a membership if you are using the Campership Scholarship. Campership Scholarships are for one two week session. If you qualify for Campership and add on additional sessions membership is required.
  • You do need a membership if you apply for financial aid.
  • The CT Lions Club Pathfinders Camp does not require campers to have a membership.
  • If your child had a membership in the past and needs to reactivate and update it, call us at (203) 235.6386 and we can help over the phone.
  • If your child does not have a membership now, come to the Meriden YMCA to sign them up before you register for camp.

Registration Deadline

If you want your child to start on Monday of the camp session you are registering for, your completed registration (including registration, medical form, Camp Doc info and payment) must be received the Monday before that session starts.  Please note all camp payments must be made in full before the camper attends camp unless other arrangements have been made. Completed registrations received Tuesday - Sunday will start on Tuesday of the session.

If your child has attended Mountain Mist in the past, please email the nurse at mmnurse@meridenymca.org to make sure your medical form is up to date. If you register your child Friday after 12:00 p.m. - Sunday at 12:00 p.m. before a session starts, your child will start camp on Tuesday.

How to Register

There are two parts to the registration process. First is to register online or at the Y. Second is to complete Camp Doc. 

  • Registration Part One
    • Online: Members who have accounts in good standing can register online through their account. (This does not apply to DCF/Care4Kids/Campership/Financial Scholarships).
    • In person: Please bring your completed camp forms to the Meriden YMCA at 110 West Main Street and have your form of payment ready. If you are applying for Care4Kids, bring your completed summer form. 
  • Registration Part Two - You must complete 100% of your Camp Doc registration. Your registration will not be complete/valid until both parts of registration are completed.  
  • Balances - Any back balances on your account must be paid before you can register for this summer. All camp balances must be paid one week before the start of the session the camper is registered for.
  • Camp Payments - All camp payments must be made in full before the camper attends camp unless other arrangements have been made. Camp payments are auto-drafted weekly so camp is paid for by the start of camp.
  • Financial assistance - If you need financial assistance to pay for camp, the Y accepts Care4Kids and offers camp scholarships to those who qualify.  Please scroll down the page for more Care4Kids details.
  • Camp Scholarship - If you are applying for a Camp Scholarship, your scholarship must be approved before registering. 
  • Refund Policy - Should I wish to withdraw my child from the program, I agree to give two weeks written notice in order to receive a refund. Deposits and camp improvement fee are nonrefundable. If the two week notice has not been received, a Y credit will be given. Full refunds (minus the camp improvement fee) are given for medical reasons only (must provide a note from the child’s physician). Refunds are at the discretion of YMCA management.
  • DCF camp registrations - Registrations are by appointment. DCF staff please contact us at 203-235-6386 or email mmdaycamp@meridenymca.org.

Medical Forms & Care Plans

Mountain Mist Day Camp uses CampDoc, an electronic, web-based health record system to maximize the health and safety of our campers during the summer, and after school participants throughout the year.

  • Your medical information must be submitted through CampDoc.
  • Once registered in Daxko, you will receive an invite from CampDoc to provide your medical information. 
  • Medical information must be entered and completed by the week before your camper attends camp.
  • Please refer to the CampDoc “how to” information link for step by step instructions. 
  • CampDoc Parent Letter
  • CampDoc User Information 
  • CampDoc Health Profile
  • CampDoc Upload Documents
  • Email mmdaycamp@meridenymca.org with questions.
  • Every camper needs a medical form signed by your provider in order to attend camp. You will need to print the form and have your medical provider complete them. Then upload the document to CampDoc. Email the camp nurse with any questions at mmnurse@meridenymca.org.
  • State law prohibits a child from attending camp without the medical forms completed by a physician within 36 months prior to attending camp. If you have attended in the past, please check with the camp nurse by emailing mmnurse@meridenymca.org to check if your form is up to date before getting a new one. 

If your child needs to take medication at camp and/or has a care plan, they must be dropped off to the nurse the Saturday before the camp session starts at the downtown Y 9:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. They may not be dropped off the day camp starts. Drop off dates are: June 14, June 28, July 12, July 26, August 9, 2025.
