Good Programs and counselors

Raynor said he loves that he gets to swim everyday. He enjoys getting to try new activities and meeting new friends. He also said the counselors are really nice.

I felt that my grandson was protected and treated with kindness and respect while participating in the camps this summer..Great job Shady Geove☺️

My son always comes home tired and happy from camp! The counselors all seem so nice and helpful! We've had a great summer at the Y!

Our daughter comes home with a smile, covered in dirt, and singing camp songs to teach us. We know she is making wonderful memories there.

My daughter and I love the YMCA every program we have been a part of has been above and beyond. I know my daughter is safe and having the best time at the Y infact I have been warned that I will be grounded if I pick her up early. The staff is caring fun and amazing at what they do. We can't say enough about the Y! We LOVE it!

&safeBest place for my family

My son had a great time doing all the various fun activities with a friendly and helpful camp staff. Thank you all very much!

I love that my kids are outdoors most of the day, playing with other kids, getting dirty and having fun! They love the Y!

Great staff! Reasonable cost. Water safety.

We love day camp, it is fun and educational for our kid. She enjoys her friends, swimming, and activities every week.

The kids had a great time. Learned new things and made so many friends.

My son loved the day camp at Shady Grove! He came home happy and tired every day!

Hours, activities, staff are all great!

We love that every day is structured and spent outdoors

My girls absolutely LOVED this summers day camps! Being outside, swimming each day, the chants and the songs, the counselors! There wasn't a day that they didn't enjoy coming to camp and were always happy when I picked them up. We can't wait to be back next summer!

Swimming everyday, outdoor play, STEM activities. Counselors are friendly and kind.

My Granddaughter Anjoli attended the Shady Grove Day Camp and loved all the activities and fellowship at the camp! Miss Angela and her YMCA crew did a marvelous job.

Swimming was the go to for my kids and they had a great time overall

Reliable and safe. My guy loves it.

My daughter hates going to camp without friends. She was dreading this experience, but she absolutely loved it- every minute. Great counselors, fun activities, organized days. Five stars.

My kids like the camp I recommend it

Most of all I love knowing my daughter is safe and having an amazing time while there. This year my daughter has also improved significantly with the swim lessons provided during camp which makes me feel like she much safer when in water. My daughter and I love Ms. Angela, Ms. Madison, and Ms. Brie. The activities provided are fun and exciting. Everytime I pick my daughter up she tells be about all the fun she's had. There's never a bad day at The Y! :)

My son was so excited to go to the Y everyday. Swimming was his favorite activity. He loved playing Gaga ball and all of the other activities provided. He had a wonderful experience overall and we will definitely be returning next summer. Thank you to all the counselors!

My girls are learning so much about the outdoors. Angela has been so supportive during our children’s transition from daycare to camp. The counselors are kind and compassionate. We have notice significant growth in swimming skills in a short time frame. We couldn’t be any happier with this program!

I love that swim lessons are included with day camp. This is such a valuable skill to have. I also like that many of the activities are outdoors and allow children to get fresh air while establishing healthy habits.

My daughter had a really fun time at the camp. She said the counselors were very nice and she felt very safe and comfortable throughout the week. Staff was also flexible and pleasant with me around some crazy scheduling that week.

She was very uncomfortable with the porta potties. I realize this is often a necessary part of outdoor camp, but perhaps more frequent inside bathroom opportunities or more frequent emptying of the units would be helpful.

The kids not only have fun but they learn about teamwork, discipline, interacting with their peers, sharing, etc. we’ll be back again next year!!

My kids having so much fun thank you
