After school programming through middle school with transportation from Garner schools = lifesaver for me as a working parent
My daughter leaves the Y laughing and joking with other kids and the Y staff
It is clean!! The atmosphere seems low key. I love watching the kids st the pool!
My daughter, rising first grader, is attending for her 2nd year and has really enjoyed the camp.
I have a rising K, who's sensory sensitivity and the fast paced fun environment has been a struggle for him. I completely understand the ratio requirements and I am not putting this on the camp counselors themselves, but there is a gap in the market for a lower ratio camp options with less stimulus for children who may need to smaller environments. I would love to see a place like the YMCA offer something like this, even if it's a more costly, it would be helpful.
