Member Testimonials
Our group had a great time. The cabins at Grady Spruce are the nicest ones we have stayed in and the fire rings are really well done. We also loved all the programming and the saturday ceremony too
Great program and bonding experience
Such a great weekend. You guys did a phenomenal job. Thank you so much.
All the activities and bonding
Good facilities and activities for the boys
It's a great way to get out of the city and get outside with my kids. They've all done Adventure Guides and they've always had a great time. The improvements at Camp Grady Spruce have been great as well.
The camp ground and cabins were in excellent shape. The cabins were clean and comfortable (but still felt like camping!).
The fire pits and grassy areas were also well maintained.
Staff were friendly and coffee was made early.
Well done!
The adaptive sports program was great for both the children and adult who participated. They made every person count.
As all the YMCA sports need to be better communication
The team work and activities that aren't available if you don't go camping.
My son likes soccer; this is an option for the child to evolve, gain confidence and develop his talent.
It was an incredible time for my daughter and I to bond in the great outdoors!
I like the diversity my children are able to experience by participating in YMCA Sports.
Lovely. Please do one with moms
It's an incredible opportunity to spend 1:1 time with my daughter and let her run around with friends outside. It's truly unique to let her enjoy some time in nature, doing fun activities and being 100% away from screens
The grounds (CGS) are amazing and the activities are great for our girls!
Adventure Guides is a great way to spend concentrated quality time with my kiddo doing amazing activities and making lifetime memories! I recommend this program to all dads with K to 3rd graders.
The kids love it. But for the cost, it’s really hard to justify especially when we are on our own for the 2 biggest meals. And no meal Sunday now at sky ranch.
My daughter loves all the activities. The staff was awesome and treated the girls with care. We accidentally forgot our sleeping bags and and pillows and they were able to provide is with some. We appreciated everything they did for us that weekend.
Activities, facilities, flexibility
This was my first time taking my son on one of these trips and we had a great time.
Sky Ranch is a great facility and my son and I had a great weekend!
The kids always look forward to these camping weekends. There’s lots of activities at Sky Ranch and helps my kid explore and try more things.
It’s amazing because of the opportunity it gives children to do something they like.
The only downside is YMCA doesn’t provide a closer location for Irving residents.
Very grateful for receiving my child. The team was amazing made my son fit right in even though he was the smallest of the group.
Please bring back the cow up needs basketball
Miracle League is amazing and Vicky is amazing. She brings such energy and joy to these events. My daughter is very sad when she has to miss a game.
we are so grateful for this program.
One of one time with my kids
Community with other dads
Ceremonies that give the campouts more meaning for me and and my kids.
It was great to break away from the normal routine and spend some time together with my daughter!
activities were good, great location
Chance to spend quality time outdoors with my daughter. Additionally as a leader at campouts I am happy to share/make the experience great for the other campers and their dads.
