Member Testimonials
Kids loved all the programs and activities.
My kids are safe, enjoy a variety of activities, and they are having fun
Engaging kids well through awards ribbons etc. energetic counselors
My son loved him times at the Y! I only wish he could've received a ribbon like everyone else in group. He is a quiet, reserved kid and I think his great behaviors are not noticed.
I appreciate the structure, values, exercise, and learning opportunities. Thank you for giving us the best summer !!
You can tell the staff really cares about kids and their experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better summer!
Well structured, lots of outside time, emphasis on values
Great length, ribbon rewards were encouraging. Fostered new friendships
The YMCA Specialty camps, specifically Sports and Arts, have kept my children excited about Summer Camp all summer. The counselors are wonderfully and truly appreciate that the focus on core values such as responsibility, respect, and teamwork. Definitely a program that I have and will continue to recommend.
I like the convenience of the YMCA French Creek's location most of all.
My granddaughter loved the summer cams and has already requested to come back next year.
It’s been a positive, structured and safe environment for my son for the past 4 yrs. He is 10 and a busy kid, he loves going to sports camp!
Literally one of the reasons we moved to avon lake was to be near to this program. Our kids LOVE the camp and the counselors. They do an amazing job of helping g the kids learn and grow, and I appreciate the emphasis they put on living the Y values . We could not be happier!

The counsellors are great. The programming and activities keep the kids engaged. My kids loved camp.
Communication was excellent, easily the best communication of all the camps my son did this summer. Ribbons were a big hit. Loved getting time in the pool and at the Crushers stadium. Thank you, will be back next year!
Attention given to kids and the ribbons program
My son loves the sports camp so much. He often gets mad at me for picking him up too early when he's in the middle of playing a game! I love the organization and how friendly the camp leaders are. I know my son is in good hands while there.
Thanks camp leadership! Great job!
Both my kids are happy, likes camp, looks forward to it, is making friends, and has positive experiences. Councilors know kids by name and are encouraging. They love getting ribbons. They come home exhausted. Pickup and drop-off is easy. It's our first year and we'll be back again next year.
My son Loves the camp. We’ll definitely be back next year.

The recreation pool is a lifesaver for my arthritis.
