How to register for camps and activities

Show more content...

Helsinki YMCA uses myClub-system for registering for activities and camps. If you do not have a myClub account,
you can create a myClub account and a member account when you first sign up for a camp or an activity. Member
account is an account that contains the pre-filled information (name, age, etc.) on the participant, for example,
the child participating at the camp.


The system will send a message confirming the registration to the email address used for the myClub account. You can
also check your registration directly through myClub. In case you need more information regarding the registration, you
can contact our office via email: leirit(a)hnmky.fi

myClub is also available as a mobile app and can be used on both Android and iOS devices. Mobile app operates
similarly to using myClub through a browser, and you can register to activities, update personal information and inspect
open invoices.

Step-by-step guide to creating a myClub account and adding member accounts:

You can change the interface language to English from the bottom of the page.
Follow the steps:
1. Go to the event page of the camp or activity and click ’register’ in the right corner.
2. Provide an email address that you will use to manage the member accounts. The same myClub account can manage
information of several participants.
3. The system will inquire about your age-range. Choose ’I am at least 13 years old’. Then fill in your own name as
the guardian
, and give the myClub account a password. Check the box to accept the terms and conditions and
privacy policy.
4. Add a new member account. The member account means the participant at the camp. You need to fill in the
information of the participant (e.g. the child attending the camp) first, and the information for the guardian later
underneath.
5. Click ‘next’ and then confirm.
6. If you wish to add a second member account, for example for a sibling of the first participant, click ’new member
account’ and fill in the second participant’s information like before. When you are signed into myClub, the button to
’register another member’ can also be found underneath the activity description.
7. The system will send you a confirmation message to your myClub account email after the registration.

Watch this video tutorial to see how the registration happens through the myClub website in Finnish. You can change
the interface language to English from the bottom of the page.

Troubleshooting problems with registration:

If the system gives you an notification (You already have a myClub account, please login), see the following for
possible solutions:
- the participant has registered to a camp before or received an invoice through myClub (e.g. participants in Helsinki
NMKY iltapäiväkerho/afterschool clubs). In this case, click ’forgotten password’, and the system will send you a PINcode through email. Fill in the PIN-code and submit a new password on the website.
- the participant has registered to a camp before but through a different guardian. Registration should be done through
the email that was first used to create a myClub account. The first guardian can share the rights to use the account by
adding another guardian’s email to the account. You can share the rights by going to ’own profile’ section by clicking
the member account in the right corner of the myClub page, then choose ’users’ tab and click ’new invitation’. Add the
email address of the second guardian here.
- if the participant already has a member account with Helsinki NMKY (e.g. they’ve participated in afterschool clubs,
music lessons or camps) but you cannot access the account, it is possible the member account has not been linked to
your myClub account. Follow the steps:

1. Make sure you are logged in to myClub (in the mClub website: id.myclub.fi)
2. Select the club (Helsingin NMKY) that the member account is part of and which you wish to connect to your myClub account.
3. Go to your myClub login page.
4. Click ’add a new member account’.
5. Fill in the email address that is added in the member account you are about to connect to your account, and click ’next’. - you will receive an email invitation to manage the member accounts associated with the club. - the invitation will be sent separately for each member account that have the given email address as a contact information or as guardian information. - if the email address does not match with the member account, contact our office (leirit(a)hnmky.fi)
6. Open your email and click ’accept invitation’ to link the member account to your myClub user account.
7. myClub opens in browser to show a message: ’You are about to connect member account to your own myClub ID’. Choose accept. - the member account is now connected to your myClub user account and you may continue using myClub. Please, contact our office (leirit(a)hnmky.fi) if need be, and we will provide assistance with the sign-ups!

Campers

Helsinki YMCA camps are open to all and the places are filled in order of registration. You can register a camper for more than one camp, but a separate registration form must be filled out for each camp. Most of the Helsinki YMCA day camps are aimed at primary school children. Depending on the camp, about 25 campers are admitted to the camps and up to 50 campers in Pakila in the summer.

The camper must be able to operate independently and in a group according to his or her age, as no separate assistant resources are allocated to the camp. If a camper needs a separate assistant at school or is in a special class, please contact the organiser before enrolment.

Camp Programme

Functional day camps at Helsinki YMCA offer pleasant and varied things to do for schoolchildren. The camps last four to five days. In addition to exercise and play, the camp week programme includes a wide range of other fun programmes such as excursions, crafts and outdoor activities. At the paid camps, a warm lunch is offered for children, as well as a snack in the seven-hour day camps. Campers are insured for the duration of the camp.

Camp instructors

The camp instructors are experienced instructors from Helsinki YMCA, who mainly act as after-school club instructors or youth instructors in our offices during the season.

Camp Letter

Before the camp, a camp letter is sent to those enrolled with further information about the camp. Camp letters will be emailed on the week before the camp. The camp letter also contains information about the equipment that the camper should have with him or her at the camp. Campers should always pack clothes for both being inside as well as for outdoor activities, a hat or other headgear, as well as a water bottle. Remember to name all the equipment and clothes that are brought to the camp! Campers and parents should pack the equipment together so the camper knows what they have with them.
