Member Testimonials
I love seeing all of the posts on Parentsquare. I love the layer of safety in all adults having IDs when picking children up. I appreciate that I can reserve the care so many months in advance and have that peace of mind. I have been enjoying the themed Friday events. My son loves all of the sporting activities and has not had experienced any bullying this year.
I wish there was a post with a name and face of all the camp counselors and what groups they are in charge of- like a get to know me type page. I have no idea who is with and influencing my kids all day. This would add an additional layer of comfort and peace of mind.
Overall I am very pleased with this program and thankful for it and all it provides.
The variety and drop off and pick up times. Thank you Marc Bauman and team for all your help.
Staff is very friendly, changed are communicated clearly, and my child enjoys her days there.
My daughter started YMCA care when she was in the third grade. We continued until sixth. Going into junior high, she won’t need those services, which makes me a little sad. The YMCA staff every year have been wonderful. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.
Very entertaining for my child
My daughter loves it and is tired every day after so it's does it's job
The kids have a lot of fun
Simple process, with 0 to reduced challenges. No parent wants to face challenges. The most important thing is have consistent staff. This way children are not leary about being left until school starts.
Granddaughter loves them. Only problem is she takes her water bottle and when she runs out of water she won’t refill it because she says they fill up the water container with the hose. Not sure what to think
Swimming & sand pit
Organized. Pool time everyday, variety of activities, flexible drip-off/pick-up time,
Great and engaged counselors.
Daily activities, swimming, and field trips.
My niece from Anderson is having a great time and making many new friends.
My daughter absolutely loves going every day. She has so much fun and is absolutely wore out. The camp director is amazing and the counselors are awesome
My kiddo has never done anything like this before and was incredibly anxious (day 1 drop off was ROUGH.) He had a blast. He couldn't wait to go back every day and we've officially signed up for another week.
Ms Jean at NBE was so wonderful this year. Our oldest was a kindergartener and so this was our first experience. She was so warm, welcoming and patient with us and our daughter. If things weren't working well for our daughter, Ms. Jean was there with ideas and adjustments and support. They were always doing fun activities and programing. We were so happy with the level of care and fun. Excited to be back next year!
My daughter likes all the counselors.
I like the variety activities that the kids get to choose from.
Outside play, specialized lesson crafts
The YMCA staff at Bridgeport were amazing. We will miss truly miss them .
The providers are helpful, attentive, and take time to get to know the kids.
Creative play
You keep the kids active and teach them to be kind to one another.
Marc Bauman (ans his helpers at Adams Elementary) and Kim Robnolte are amazing people and an integral part to help and make this before and after program thrive. Thank you for always being supportive and quick to respond. My family appreciates you!
Teaching Y values, having activities and parties for kids, Y-bucks program, caring and attentive staff
My daughter loved the ladies that worked at Brookview. They were all so kind and each morning they greeted us and waved when they saw us.
Inclusion, child to staff ratio, and hours of operation.
Keeps kids busy with art, outside play, etc.
Site Director Tiffany is the absolute best. She cares for the children as their own and teaches the kids to be caring little humans.
Lots of outdoor activities and swimming everyday!
My kiddo really enjoys it! He does a lot of arts and crafts, which he loves. And of course swimming!
