My son and I had a fantastic camp out! Desmond loved getting to do th zip line and climbing the wall. He also enjoyed getting to spend time with some friends and with his Dad, sitting around the camp fire and eating s’mores for the first time. It was a great bonding experience for us both. We’ll definitely be back.
This was our first time. We had an absolute blast. I thought it was well put together and there were a lot of great events to do. My son had a great time, and I enjoyed the time I got to spend with him and the other kids in our tribe.
Very well organized for the kids. Could use better signage on the cabins and how to get to them as well as the mess hall. Stock the lake. :)
High quality event with staff that cares about the experience. Large variety of activities that appeal to all age ranges
Amazing location. Amazing facility. Amazing Experience!
The camp grounds and staff suppprting the events are first class!
Good experience.
Spending time with my daughter! The activities are structured well with not too much structure where I feel I am forced to be somewhere all the time. Only suggestion is invest in some new mattresses. You cave into the middle of them and they are pretty uncomfortable.
The setting is second to none, the food is great, the cabins (when repaired) are more than enough
Getting away from technology, no phones, no computers and just hanging out with your son or daughters
Love it every time. The Grady Spruce team is the best.
They make the campout easy to plan, and both the dads and kids have a great time!
It was a fantastic experienced for the boys and dads!
We really like this program. The leaders are very engaged, very good with communications, and offer training and game-nights several times each week. We also especially appreciate the fact that the YMCA offers the kids a relatively safe online platform for enjoying games and playing with others. I know that there is often not enough registrants for some of the tournaments, but that’s not the program’s fault. I hope ways can be found to grow membership which will make for an even better experience for everyone.
My son and I had a great time, despite the inclement weather!
Had a great time with my daughter. Really enjoyed camp Grady spruce!
My 3rd grade son loves the campout, and it's a great opportunity for us to get away from the standard grind and technology to just have time together
It's amazing experience for our kids.
It’s great
I love the one-on-one time I get with my daughter, the strong sense of community, and how well run the campouts are. Would recommend it to every dad
Very good experience for the kids . They enjoy the sports activities thoroughly
Great time had at Possum Kingdom. Activities are good - horses, zipline, boat ride and hike. Good job to the organizers and volunteers. Only complaint is the council fire is still too long. Should be 15-20 minutes max. Thanks!
The positive messages, organized events and fun! Great bonding time with kids.
Family time with Dad & son, lots of fun activities, great camping locations
Great experiences for dads/daughters
An excellent way to get your kids in the woods and bond with them!
Our boys had the best time making life long memories at YMCA Adventure Guides - yatahey!
It's a wonderful and powerful bonding experience between Dad and daughter, building amazing memories. Meeting other great Dads and their daughters building friendships with yours having nonstop fun. Experiencing nature and the many activities make such an amazing experience.
Well organized. Good communication
Ethan did a great job! Kids had a blast and activities were perfect. Nice job YMCA!
