I like the onsite availability for my daughter to walk from her classroom to aftercare. She loves the arts and crafts based activities. Keep up the great work!
I like how students work on cooperation and fairness. They also have to problem solve when things don’t necessarily go their way. I also appreciate that they get to be leaders to the younger children. Lastly, I like how students work on creative projects.
The kids enjoy swimming and field trips along with the arts and crafts and the dungeon and dragons club they have for them and it has helped my oldest son to become more out of his shell to engage with his peers
I love that the program is held at my child's school ( Haw Creek). All of the staff are so kind and supportive of her. She loves extra time with her friends, and everyday I pick her up she greets me with a huge smile on her face! Thank you for all you do!
My daughter loves everything about it, and she never wants to leave
My kids really enjoy this program. Lots of cool club options, lots of time outside, and the counselors are wonderful!
My child can be at school in an environment that she is familiar with and we know that she is getting energy out.
I like how there’s a lot to choose from and you have fun no matter what
The opportunities available through Adventure and Explorer camps to be outdoors and experiencing nature around our area
I LOVE the staff, all of them are wonderful. I love that they keep the kids engaged and having fun for camp.
My child attends beaverdam location and we love the different theme's each week so she doesn't get burnt out on being outside so much
The staff take pride in what they do and genuinely care for the kids. Always fun activities planned and safety is always first
I like that they involve making sure the prek class at least gets to play in the water because they don't get to go on field trips
There is great communication this year! Lots of fun and good variety of activities. We are so greatful to have this summer camp.

My boys loved Ray, their counselor. They stepped out of their comfort zone and tried new activities. Each day was a new adventure. Thank you for providing this fund camp for the tweens.

Great camp! My son is having an amazing time! All the field trips are awesome. The staff have put in A LOT of hard work!!

My son loves the YMCA after-school program, and as a parent, that means everything to me. The staff truly cares about the kids they’re encouraging, attentive, and make every child feel included. He enjoys the activities, gets a chance to burn energy, learn new things, and build friendships. I feel completely confident knowing he’s in a safe, fun, and supportive place. Highly recommend the YMCA afterschool to any parent looking for a great after-school option!
