Member Testimonials
Ariell and Yousef are always great when communicating events, incidents or just reminders my child loves his camp counselor Mr.Jax; he always has a smile when I pick him up and and so excited for the field trips. This is his 4th summer at camp echo and we love it
The schedule works great for our needs and the ability to schedule by weeks instead of sending my son on weeks that won't interest him. The staff at Camp Echo is amazing and keep parents informed! Always comforting when you recognize the team year after year. Our last year but he has enjoyed 4 yrs of summer camp with the YMCA and experienced so many great things.
My kid has a good time, you're not too expensive, and they get to go places.
I honestly cannot say enough good things about Camp Coyote. I have seen my child grow so much both socially and emotionally due to this program. The activities are so helpful and she is just coming out of her shell.
My child had a fantastic time. Counselors were attentive and she was never bored.
I love that my son can use his voice and telling the workers how he feels! I love the communication and that I have a story to hear everyday
My son enjoyed it, and I loved being able to keep up with what he was doing through the pictures that were uploaded to the app!
My child enjoys going everyday
Great place to get your kids active for the summer.
My son is happy when I pick him up.
Fun activities that keep kids engaged. Counselors are so nice and care about the kids!
My grandson loves the YMCA. He especially loves the swimming lessons. He is learning a lot about swimming techniques. He loves the staff and has made several friends. I didn’t go wrong by allowing him the opportunity to go to summer camp at the YMCA of Grand Prairie.
A variety of activities daily. I also love the weekly field trip and swim lessons. Did not know the program was this amazing and will definitely be signing up early next year.
Variety of activities and swimming lessons
So far the camp has been excellent. The only issue we have run into is our 5 year old daughter, who has not has a bathroom accident in over 2 years, had an accident waiting in line. Also, I ask our 7 year old daily what they have done. For instance they had a fishing day and she said they just sat and watched others fish because the teacher never said it was her turn. I have told her to be more vocal, but also would like the camp coordinators to make sure the kids are participating.
Outside of those two things the kids are enjoying it.
I find the ladies very helpful, organized and friendly. Jacob had enjoyed camp
YMCA summer camp has been an effective "partner" for us, because we need to work on summer vacation for our daughter. They have clean facilities, a staff well-trained and willing to provide a nice environment for the kids to spend a fun time
My daughter loved her week at YMCA Dallas. She met new friends and was engaged the entire week. Everyday she said she had a fun. She especially loved field trip day and swimming day. I thought it was fantastic that these 2 activities were included in the cost. :)
When I pick my son up, he comes to the car happy and can't wait for the next camp day! It doesn't matter if there is a field trip or if they are at the camp site, he enjoys the fun activities. The camp leaders are friendly and I'm always greeted with a smile and a positive attitude.
Our 7 & 11 year old niece & nephew were visiting us in June- we signed them up for the YMCA camp and they LOVED it- thank you so much to the wonderful staff- we appreciate your wonderful work. Our niece is a tough little red head & you were so good with her- thank you!
Safe environment, that keeps my active kids entertained and for a great price.
The communication regarding activities and updates is great.
Amazing team, kids had a blast! Highly recommend!
The YMCA Day Camp in Dallas has been a great experience for my family. The staff always provide daily updates. They’re upbeat when assisting with drop and pick up. Thank you for keeping the kids smiling!
What I like most about my YMCA Day Camp in Frisco experience is the variety of activities and the opportunity to make new friends. The camp provides a fun, safe, and welcoming environment where my daughter was able to learn new skills, participate in field trips, arts and crafts, swimming, games, and team-building activities. I also enjoy how the counselors are supportive and encourage everyone to work together, build confidence, and have fun. Every day brings something new, making the experience exciting and memorable.
Zack and Aurora were amazing!
The kids have said great things about going to camp everyday. When they’re happy, I’m happy!
Also, I had a chance to look from the outside in on the measures taken to safeguard the children for their field trip and I’m satisfied that they are well organized and have taken the necessary precautions to keep our kids safe when they are away from the campus.
So far so good!
My kid loves the counselors. They are so good for him. They are full of love and fun.
It’s such a great value and my 4 year old has been raving about how much fun she is having! I love the variety of experiences she is having in a safe environment. We attend other camps that don’t do half as much and charge way more! We are so grateful for the Y and the ways they support families in the community.
The swimming and various activities were great for the girls. I loved that they had archery too!

Stem activities, strong protection/safety, interesting agends, field trips.
