Fun camp for the kids in my area
My daughter loved her session at Camp Evergreen. The staff was very friendly and encouraging. My daughter liked the spirit building activities like the Thunderbird and cheers. She enjoyed swimming, boating, archery, rock wall, and the ropes course. She also liked when they gave awards to kids and adults. Thank you for providing a wonderful experience for her. She is looking forward to next year!
It is a great summer camp experience, a traditional summer camp without the kids having to be gone overnight. My daughter absolutely loves being able to swim, meet new friends and the friendly competitions
Kids spend most of the day outside.
The staff! We miss the horses
The kids had an awesome summer and adored their counselors. Our "coyote" camper (Iris) stayed motivated all summer to maintain the summer camp spirit everywhere she went. We saw a level of positivity and teamwork from her that we've never quite experienced and are so grateful to the staff for the incredible impact they had on her this summer. It was also really wonderful to see our kids bond over their experience at Evergreen with all the stories, friends, activities, various games/challenges and events. Many core memories were made this past summer. Thank you!
The kids love the daily swim sessions. Art camp is a huge success. My son can’t wait to attend next year. As a working mom, I really appreciate the extended hours and the ease of picking up and dropping off children. The kids are extremely engaged and the various activities keep them entertained. They like to be picked up close to the end of extended care to enjoy time with their friends. The counselors are so friendly. The only downside is the stress of registration when you have multiple kids. It worked out this year that my daughter was able to get off the waitlist, but it was a stressful few months waiting. We went to another camp for a week and she said the Y was so much better!!!
Our son is 5-years old and entering Kindergarten. This was his first Summer experience at the YMCA camp. He is a somewhat shy, hesitant, and anxious kiddo and he loves going each day! I wish there was a camp, even if it was once a month, for adults to play and do fun activities, ha-ha.
Each year, my children have THE BEST time at Camp Evergreen. The staff is unbeatable and very inclusive. They are fun, upbeat and happy! My children love the variety of experiences that they can be involved in at camp. They also really enjoy being able to participate in the overnights. Dom has done an incredible job. My children are already talking about going for more than just two sessions next year!
The counselors, activities, experiences, positive reinforcement and structure are so incredibly beneficial for our kids. We love the Northwest YMCA camp and will continue to send our kids year after year!
I love the pool area - it is very clean and well maintained. The locker rooms are likewise clean and well kept.
My son had an awesome summer, and I really saw him grow a lot more independent and fun loving throughout. Dom and the staff she put together were awesome!
My daughter loved camp.
My son loved camp Evergreen. He came home covered in dirt, exhausted and with a smile on his face every day. He can't wait for next year!
My kids loved it! I wish there was a little more communication about things like special days, sooner.

We would like to shout out Brooke, one of the counselors. My kids loved her and couldn’t say enough good things about her!
My son’s first time at camp and he loved it! Did session 2 and 3 and was upset he wasn’t doing session 4. He is already looking forward to next summer!
