Included and very confident in what he is doing. Coach Mike has taught him how to he respectful to the people around him. Thank you to all of the staff for being so wonderful!

What a great year! Love the addition of archery and swimming 5 days a week. The sports mania focus on gym sports and still including steam and theme has been perfect!

Great facility, wonderful staff -

My daughter was very nervous to go to camp and didn’t want to leave my side the first morning. By the end of the week, it was all she talked about. I saw a huge boost in her confidence. Her counselors were fantastic and her program (Move, Play, Explore) was everything I could have asked for. I am so happy I sent her to the Y!

My daughter LOVED the camp! I was a bit worried as she was from out of state and didn't know anyone - and it was somewhat of a longer day than what she's used to. But after the first day she came home and told us she had the best day ever. She came home each day happy and tired. She loved her counselors. She made new friends. And after her last day, she asked if she could come back next year and attend camp for 2 weeks instead of 1.

It was organized, I felt she was safe and well cared for. She liked the schedule and planned activities as well as being able to select ones she was interested in.

Gillian Snyder (Reese Snyder was camper)

My daughter is a Ranger fan! She has had an impeccable experience from the moment she gets on the boat until she comes home. She's gone snorkeling, kayaking, swimming in the ocean, and made a ton of friends along the way! A big shout out to all the counselors who turn these moments into memories for our children.

Well run camps, good variety of options for all kids. Good hours for working parents.

Facilities and staff

The instructors do a great job explaining skills and making it fun. My daughter loves going and looks forward to it.

Coach Clementine is great and helping our 9 year old son catch up on swimming safely.
An ear infection and then the pandemic got us behind a few years.

Good mix of athletics, fun, and pool.

My son is constantly engaged. He can’t wait to get out of the car in the morning and is exhausted when he gets back in the car after camp, he is learning sportsmanship. The counselors are fantastic! Coach, Alexia and Coach Zach as well as Coach Mike are his favorites. He can talk to them. He can tell them the good things and the bad. They treat my son so well. He loves gaga ball. He looks forward to playing it every day.

Addie is so on top of the logistics and getting kids to classes, especially at the start of a new session. I also like that each class covers a range of activities over time, so not only are kids building skills, but they are being exposed to new skills as well.
