More field trips!!!
The volunteers appears to be alert and attentive to the children and the children appear to have fun and feel safe.
I absolutely love it. From the beginning the enrollment was a breeze. It keeps my baby busy, active, entertain all while she gets to meet new friends. She don’t be wanting to leave. Laughing out loud. 😆 The staff is knowledgeable, nice & enjoy what they do. I’m looking forward to signing my daughter up next year & my son when he becomes the appropriate age.
I could write a whole novel about how much we have loved Pee Wee camp so far, but will keep it brief.
This is our first group experience on a daily basis for our daughter. We were very worried but from day one the staff made sure she had a great time and had great communication from the staff. Ms. Cheyenne is wonderful. They do so many crafts and use the parent app to send updates throughout the day so we know our daughter is having a great time.
Outside of the actual time at camp, it has helped her be more independent, creative, and broken her excessive time being on electronics.
Amazing
“Miss A - May I have her ALL day? She is nice.”
“Craft time”
“Blowing up balloons with Miss Rocio.”
“That’s it!”

“I did NOT like the magician. Do you want to know why? Because a magician should never reveal his secrets. And he literally revealed all of his secrets! So, Mrs. Doris, we need a better one, please!” -EKN 😂
It’s a place where my kids feel safe and cared for.
All the leaders and the program. You all are going a great job!!!!!!Thank you for all you do for our kids!!
Lots of fun...
My daughter had a blast here and is excited to come back next week. Counselors and admin are super quick to respond with any questions and you get a calendar of the events right after you sign up. Great summer program for the kiddos!
My girls had a blast
Stem activities, strong protection/safety, interesting agends, field trips.
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

The staff is warm and welcoming every morning. My son has enjoyed his time going on field trips and swimming. He loves playing with his new friends at the site. YMCA Day Camp in Dallas allows me to have peace of mind while I work.
