Downtown Y camp drop off/pick up is at the Downtown YMCA (1000 North Market Street).

Enter the Y parking lot, pass in front of the Y, and take the first right to go down the side of the building, passing the fenced soccer field. At the stop sign, make a left. Go to the back of the parking lot, where staff will greet you to drop off your child. The same process applies for pick up. We use a school-style process, andd we ask drivers to remain in their cars when dropping off or picking up.

We use a school-style process where we ask drivers to remain in their cars when dropping off or picking up.
