Love the variety of activities. My kids never say they’re bored at camp!

Swimming learn

Our grandson spent one week at Manchester, one week at Midlothian. The camps were night and day. He loved Midlothian for the activities and the counselors. Much better program.

My child liked it! He loved being outside most of the day and playing lots of games.

Our son reported that it was well organized and fun. That’s enough to make a great summer camp.

I like the variety of activities my child is participating in from swim lessons, to Lego, to nature, and STEM projects. She's told me about a large art board that her group has painted for everyone to see in the camp. Her favorite activity has become archery, hitting targets with arrows. She also commented on the new friends that she's made! I will definitely be enrolling her again next summer!

Very active keeps kids outdoors and less electronics! My daughter was asking to go back each day!

The camp counselors were great. My (3) kids really enjoyed themselves. Rates everyday 9/10 pm the fun scale.

Keeps kids active in a fun setting.

My daughter has fun, she likes the art and Friday free swim

My kids had a fantastic week! The staff are very on top of things and everything ran so smoothly. Well done!

I like that my daughter is outside the majority of the day at camp and participating in activities that allow her to use her creativity and also get physical exercise. She's commented that she made new friends and likes her Huddle 9 counselors! This is the first summer in a long time that she's having a lot of fun!

My daughter loves camp! She likes the rotations and different activities. She always excited to get out of the car each day, which is a change from her old daycare.

Our boys love
camp Saponi! Thanks for all the hard work and time you put in!

My children love being outside and playing. They love swimming everyday, we love that they are learning these skills. They also like the councilors alot which we love as well.

My child was constantly engaged and doing different activities. They really seemed to flourish and grow over the course of attending camp this summer. I cannot say enough good things, and am extremely happy with the experience.

Love that he got lots of outdoor time and was exposed to new things especially swimming!

Everything was great. Reminded me of what camp looked like when I was a kid. Appreciate the variety of activities throughout the day. Only constructive feedback would be to have the drive up in the morning go until 9am. Our elementary school doesn't even start until 9:10 so 8:30 was a bit of a shock! Otherwise we love it and can't wait to send my youngest summer 2026!

My child LOVED Camp Saponi. She came home every day excited about what she did and the new friends she made. I was nervous at first since this was the first program she was attending outside of daycare but the YMCA staff took great care of her. I additionally appreciated that pick-up and drop-off were seamless and clearly well organized!

Programs were fun and engaging for daughter

Outdoors! Loved archery and slingshots

YMCA runs a great day camp program! Our 6 year old was entertained all summer!!

My daughter stays so active and loves all the staff.

They made friends the very first day

First off, this is the third one of these we've been asked to fill out, so the best thing you can do to improve the camp is to leave people alone. The staff makes the camp fantastic. They are dedicated, enthusiastic, and able to connect to kids effortlessly. They keep parents informed and lead activities that foster new talents. We cannot wait to send our child back next year and likely fill out another three or four of these.

Enjoyed the camp and all the camp staff.. very friendly

Drop -in and off was wonderful. Counselors were polite, organized and pleasant/happy. Price for weekly camp was affordable.

I like the personable interactions. I feel like my kid isn't just a number otlr another camper. I get daily updates on his behavior and his day to day interactions. I feel very comfortable with my son in their care. I would refer their program to anyone!

Keeping the children engaged, mixing up the activities, the use of time management

Our kids love it
