Member Testimonials
The care provided is wonderful. My son has grown physically and emotionally over the summer and loves the field trips and activities every week! You don't get that with other summer programs.
Everything is very organized and very well put together.
I like the friendly people who greet us. I am able at 76 to work out on equipment that will keep me going.

Great instructors, swimming Gail, Angie, Marcia
Personal trainers Sterling
The leaders and staff are super engaged and enthusiastic, my son had a really fun time and loved the activities they planned. He came home super happy, excited to share his day, and super tired!
Getting the kids off a screen and being extremely active at camp is fantastic. All the counselors are energetic and positive.
The French Creek YMCA is inviting. The people are great the interact with. The facility is solid. What more could you want?
The YMCA promotes the building of strong bodies, mines and personal esteem.
In addition the YMCA provides various outside activities (such as bus trips) that promotes friendships and community building.
I think the only thing I would say is better communication about what the campers need to do for the day/week. For example pajama day I was not informed. Also one day they didn't need to bring a disposable lunch and I had to run home to get an ice pack and lunch box so the food didn't go bad. I was late for work because of this lack of communication. Other than those two things my kids love it.
Camp counselors have been wonderful. Kids have had a blast.
Pickleball
I am a lap swimmer and no longer swim at the Y because the water temperature is too cold for me. If it was raised to 82 I’d be back. I’d love to come back to the Y,
It is evident a lot of time and effort is put into this program to make it successful. Between the various themes across specialty camps, swim days, field trips, activities, games and fun and engaging counselors, my son had nothing but fun and good things to say about his time each day. I appreciate the dedication to learning the core values and teaching kids along the way. Every effort is made to keep kids of the same age together and counselors seem genuinely happy to be apart of the kids day. I greatly appreciate the communication and passion from the Director of the program. Hannah is responsive, flexible and genuinely cares about the kids and success of the program. My son already conveyed he wants to be at the Y next summer for camp. We will be signing up once available.
Kids had fun, Awesome field trip, kids are safe.
I really enjoyed that my child liked going every day. The new themes for the week were fun for them.

Everything is organized, I love the values, game, and activities. The price and his are reasonable as well.
Outstanding program! My boys lived it and we definitely be back next year. Thank you to the entire French Creek camp team for all that you do.
This camp is AMAZING. This is our first year doing the YMCA camp and we will continue with all 4 of our children. It's such a great program that promotes healthy habits and the Y's core values. I love that you can mix and match the weeks and camps that fit with your schedule and children's interests. Hannah and the counselors are incredible. 100% recommend.
First, the staff and counselors are fantastic! Second, the programming is great and my daughter had fun everyday. I love the concept of the ribbons to encourage positive behaviors. Third, the hours are great for working parents.
Our daughter very much enjoyed camp this year! She loved Swimming weekly at the Y, the various Field Trips and Water Days! She made so many new friends and looked forward to each day!
I like exercising at Heritage, a site very convenient for me.
I also very much enjoy bus trips.
Loved the sports camp at the YMCA. My son learned more about sports and the details and rules for many different sports. The awards were a big highlight for him to work toward each day.
