Do I need to fill out any additional paperwork for BASE programs?

Yes, we have partnered with PLAYERSPACE as your communication and paperwork management system. You will receive an email from PLAYERSPACE giving you access to your Parent Center where you can complete required forms and waivers, including immunization records, update emergency contact and health history information, and upload photos for child(ren) and parent/guardians. You must complete this paperwork before your child(ren) can attend BASE programs We estimate this work will take about 30 minutes. 

If your child(ren) participated in summer day camp this year, you will have just a few new tasks to complete as some previous paperwork does carryover.

What is the cancellation policy?

BASE is a school-year long program where fees are paid on a weekly basis. Families enroll in an option that works best for their family for the entire year. Families may upgrade or downgrade enrollment options but must provide 14 days notice written notice via this form for all changes, cancellations, or transfers. If you choose to downgrade your enrollment, you are not guaranteed a spot if you decide to upgrade at a later date. 

For example, if you are attending before and after school for five days a week and downgrade to four days, we cannot guarantee that you will be able to return to five days of care at a later date. 

Deposits are non-refundable and may be non-transferable. The Y reserves the right to charge a $25 fee for multiple registration changes.
