Member Testimonials

Active learning and creative play are so important. We love that the Y incorporates lessons into their programs. The themes were fun, and our camper came home every day excited to return.

My daughter absolutely loved Patrick Henry YMCA camp this Summer! She came home happily exhausted from fun activities every day and always had fun stories to tell. She made lots friends and adored her camp leaders. This is a very well put together Summer program. We will certainly be back year after year! Thank you for everything!

It’s a great program that keeps a smile on kids faces 😊

Everything!! Awesome counselors, well organized, safe, fun, affordable, and loved swimming every day!!!

I LOVE EVERYTHING!!! My granddaughter has been coming to the YMCA for a year now, first for after school care, cheer and swim lessons and then the big summer camp!! I can not find one thing to complain about!! The professionalism/ and caring attitude the counselors exhibit is remarkable!! It’s a wonderful feeling to drop your child off for care and able to have a piece of mind knowing they are being well taken care of!! I Absolutely Love the Patrick Henry YMCA!

I love everything about the YMCA And all they offer the children! I am very pleased with everything

How they keep the kids active and teach them how to swim

My kids loved the variety of activities, and I loved that they were outside and active!

Love that the kids are able to try new activities

The outdoor activities like archery and marksmanship. My boys loved those!

Are the best!!!

The camp offering at Patrick Henry YMCA has been such a tremendous positive experience for our daughter. She has made friends, enjoyed all of the activities offered, and comes home each day happy, tired, and well-cared for!

All 3 of my kids love camp. They have great counselors and are engaged in so many fun activities primarily outside which is wonderful. They are making great memories, getting all that energy out and fully enjoying summer.

Wonderful summer camp experience for my children. I love that swimming lessons are incorporated on the daily.

The counselors are great, and they have done a great job navigating the heat wave. My daughter has had a blast!

All

I like how organized the camp is with managing so many kids. It would be nice to have an agenda for the day so I know what exactly happening and when. I don’t have a lot to say about the programs and activities specifically because my info comes from my son who doesn’t share a lot. It seems like he had a great camp experience though. I like that there were sports camps to mix up the summer.

Love the opportunities for the kids and my son loves the camp and counselors !

My child learned new social skills via interactions with other kids and the camp director and others in charge are very communicative and keep us on the loop!

Fun for the kids with different themes

Friendly well trained staff

Paige was the best counselor! My daughter had a blast! Great communication and a fun summer!

Absolutely wonderful. The staff is great and the program is fun, my child loved it.

There was a different activity every week. The staff was very enthusiastic.

The new director not only planned the activities, he participated.

It was the best experience for my grandson.

The counselors seem to really care.

Everyone is great, helpful, and my daughter loves all activities.

I like that you offer swim lessons each day and free swim on Fridays. Learning to swim is very important and the frequency matters. I like the ease of drop off and pick up. I like how there are sports camps to add variety.

Every single counselor is so engaged, knows the campers, and genuinely seems to enjoy their job! Camp feels like a nostalgic summer camp with all the “typical” camp activities from childhood - songs, opening ceremonies, swimming, archery, sports, crafts, etc.

The counselors and Mr. Derrick are unbeatable!

Love the program especially teaching them how to swim !
