Carleton College and the Northfield Area Family YMCA are collaborating with their summer Day Camp programs in areas to include staff training, easy online registration, rosters, invoicing and communication.  Programming is coordinated and developed separately from one another. 

Combined, both programs offer parents a wide variety of options for summer opportunities (full day, 1/2 day or 3, 4 or 5 day options).  We hope you find this collaborative advantageous as you plan your summer.
