Program is great. Food at Sky Ranch is terrible...has been terribly every year for as long as I can recall.
it is such a great time for the kids to connect with their dads - and for the kids to connect with each other - and for the dads to connect with other dads - we just love it
Isabella and the team do a phenomenal job of putting these campouts together for us dads!
Sky ranch amenities are great, but it is always way too crowded.
The time and unique experience it affords me and my children. There are not many better ways to build great memories!!!
Love the option for various activities - zip line, horseback riding, etc. Great father-son bonding.
Great experience and the kids love it.
It is a great way to spend time with your daughter or son and create lifelong memories!
We love participating in the YMCA Adventure Guides, but I feel like the group is missing some of what I remember hearing about w/ the old "Indian Guides". There were more organized tribal games, lessons, etc. Perhaps that is gone away now, but I think it would be fun to get back to some of those roots. I do love, however, all of the time spent and memories made with my boys!
I love adventure guides and plan to attend all that I can with all 3 of my kids.
BUT
My daughter and I just got back from Sky Ranch and I do want to provide feedback.
This is the 5th AG trip we have gone on and by far this was our lowest rated experience. I do not want to be critical and like I said, I love AG. Below is feedback.
-Our cabin was too small. We had 7 dads on fold out beds and there was not enough room
-the camp was extremely full
-seemed like Sky Ranch was under staffed. Seemed like not enough life guards. So slides were open 2 hours, blob was open 2 hours. This made the lines very long as everyone went to those activities for the short amount of time
-Horse - only had a handful of spots for hundreds of campers
-2 hour wait for the zip line
-Lunch on Saturday was burgers. Since dinner is on our own most camp sites are doing hamburgers and hot dogs. A different lunch option would be more thoughtful
Hoping this helps improve the experience for others.
Fun and low pressure environment for my kids to explore sports.
I truly appreciated Free Jersey and socks for soccer games!
However, I thought the coach will be provided!
YMCA made it so easy to sign up and follow the dates & times and events. Also, I liked that the sports parents didn’t get rude and the overall atmosphere was nice and sportsmanlike.
Coach Stegall was very supportive. My son loved his team. He really enjoyed the whole experience.
We love our YMCA Sports team and experience.
My daughter loves the time with her friends and her dad, and she enjoys the activities. This was our 3rd time to go and we plan to go again.
It’s a great way for my daughter and husband to bond and go on a unique adventure.
It's a community effort. Not just a business. Would love to also see similar efforts for self sustainability teaching to our children by having vegetable garden projects...bird sanctuaries and permaculture. Love the vibe at YMCA!!
The coach and all the volunteers have been wonderful. Very thankful for all they do.
Volunteers and staff did an excellent job. Girls had a blast!
Fun activities and well maintained campsites
Activities were super easy and fun! Everything was close together and was easy!
Quality time with my son in God’s beautiful outdoors.
It was an amazing experience for my daughters and their Dad. It was a great bonding moment and was a great time with friends.
Very family oriented. My daughter had a great time.
The campouts are a great bonding experience for both me and my kids as well as my kids with their friends and also the father's.
Great time to connect with my daughter and meet her friends and her friends dads
Awesome experiences with father-son/daughter Father-father Children. Great coordinators!! Always available and helpful
What an amazing campsite! Great mix of structured activities and "free time" to enjoy the surroundings. Awesome leaders!
I think it’s greatly organized.
