good job good job, way to go way to go -

All three of my kids, aged 4-11, enjoyed Camp Saponi! I cannot believe I have found something they all liked AND that it was outside all day. I am so pleased and we will definitely be back! They all particularly loved Gagaball and the target sports. Thank you!

It’s a great program for kids. My daughter is enjoying her summer

I like that the kids are outside and active all day.

Everyone is so loving and accepting of all children. They are off screens and enjoying the outdoors. My daughter comes home exhausted. I would recommend this camp to anyone!

The kids are kept busy in a safe environment without too much drama

My son is very happy at Camp Saponi! His only complaint thus far is that after the closing council, they often just hang out in the classroom without anything to do. Since I work, I can’t pick him up right at 4:30 each day. Not the end of the world, but thought it was worth sharing as an item to improve. Overall, I love seeing him excited every morning and exhausted every evening. Thank you for a fun summer!!

Such a great program and keeps my son active over the summer break.

The kids had a great time thank you

Kaia has a blast every week at camp! They are always doing something fun and active.

The director, Shantese Harvey is amazing! Very organized and excellent communication.
The kids love the camp, they are able to try new things and help build confidence.

The structure and the counselors who are actually paying attention to the kids

We wanted our son outdoors and having fun! That's exactly what he did this past week at camp! We are very pleased! He will definitely be back next year!

The kids are outdoors and active most of the day.

My LO loved the rock painting and making “magic” with Mr. John.

I like that I can trust that you will do what you say you are going to do. My kids are safe, cared for in a while that helps maintain their freedom to be kids. The kids always had funny stories from their counselors. The music played was appropriate. Their safety was a priority when it ae to the temperature outside or how the group behaved. I wish all ymca's were the same in this regard but I know Camp Saponi is!

Very organized and well thought out program! My child was kept busy and had fun each day!

I love the welcoming of the kids by name with a smile and organized manner they get to their respective huddles. For those arriving after the group is at the campsite, there is always a staff member to receive at the top of the hill to escort to the campsite. Total satisfaction with the pick up system at the dismissal.
My granddaughter is always very happy with her day at camp…

The hours, staff and activities

Love it all and the camp leaders!

The staff at the YMCA Day Camp are one of a kind! They fostered a culture of fun and structure that made for a memorable week for our kids!
