What do you like about our program and activities?

I'm more sad that Jonathan has aged out at camp than I was for his 8th grade graduation.

Thank you guys for another great summer

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

Great facility with lots to offer. It would’ve been a 10, But I feel the Amount of people scrolling on their cell phones is too prevalent, and ties up the weight machines For too long. I believe a policy of no scrolling would be more appropriate.

What do you like about our program and activities?

Kenzie is amazing as a director and manages to know everyone’s name and parents name it truly amazing! Jen is a wonderful fresh face and answers every question you can possibly have about the camp process and registration! Takes the edge off of registering for the right camp. The high ropes have been my daughters favorite activity this year at camp and they always say they want more of it.

I love the fact staff are very involved with the children. The program itself is always a new adventure for my daughter. The staff takes the time to familiarize themselves with each and every camper as well as parent

The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Each person I encountered, from front desk to registration to orientation, listened to me and made relevant suggestions to meet my needs. I felt very comfortable and welcome. I am looking forward to a solid relationship with the YMCA.

What do you like about our program and activities?

There are a few instructors that are not that great with children. But the ones that are make up for it. I also love that the teaching is hands on that was unfortunately not done at our previous place.

What do you like about our program and activities?

Jimmy and team at the drop off and pick-up tents are great, they are friendly, patient, and accommodating. My kids love the archery, ropes courses, and pool time. Some activities could be thought out and resourced better like music, art, and arcade but the good programs make up. I gave 9 because of the team and the camp itself. I do recommend both the camp and Y all the time as its good value and my kids enjoy it there. However to the corporate entity and policies at be I'd give 5 at best. My main issues are: 1. Camp registration this year was a mess with the last minute change from 10am to midnight the prior day, meant I was unable to get my kids into the specialty camps they wanted b/c a I missed the one email that was sent about the change. 2 It would be helpful if there were additionally payment options, instead of getting slammed with the full payment the week before it'd be nice to be able to split the payments up monthly or on 3-4 parts between the January sign up and start if camp, this would've made it much less painful for the following situation. 3 Refund policy, I lost my job in early June more than 60 days before our late Aug weeks and was unable to scale back any of the time we'd booked in January when I thought I'd be fully employed without penalty. The inability to even drop the aftercare was a punch in the gut from an organization that values community inclusion and promotes their need based aid. The"death" as the only full refundable condition is a little harsh, especially if its more than 60 days notice and you have a waitlist. Because, I was forced to continue with camp extra week & hours I no longer needed nor could afford I will be forced to drop my family membership at the end of the month, That's a 10 year relationship spoiled by one thoughtless policy.

What do you like about our program and activities?

Lucas enjoyed the camp Star program and each year he leaves sad because he does not want camp to end. I really wish there were more programs like this that we could send him to during the school year. I think he misses seeing his camp friends from other towns and the staff. Great camp they do a fantastic job with our kids. Feel safe dropping our son off and he comes home tired, smiling and full of stories about his day. Thank you for providing this opportunity for our children.
