Good parent communication, and consistent systems! I do wish the sports camp included a little bit more skills and drills instruction, but that's coming from me as a parent, not from my camper, who had a great experience! The counselors built great relationships with him over his multiple weeks of sports camp this summer.
Both my kids love Sterling Woods! They have lots of positive things to say about many of the staff members and they love spending so much outdoor time with friends, hiking, swimming, doing crafts.
As a parent, I could not want more for my kids in the summer than a safe place to go where they are moving their bodies, getting fresh air and spending time with other kids. The talent show is a highlight for both the kids and parents! My kids loved practicing their routines and performing for the audience. The best part is that the kids come home tired and dirty and with huge smiles every day.
I am also super impressed with how Kenzie remembers not only every kid’s name, but what their parents look like! Pickup of all those kids has the potential to be a total cluster, but she runs it with ease and patience and it goes quicker than you’d think possible. She even stopped to help me out when I picked up the kids early for after camp stuff a few times. Thank you! Jimmy is also incredibly kind and helpful, and always makes my kids feel seen. He put my daughter in a group with her friend when she was feeling nervous, and it made her summer so much happier! He stops to say hello, even when camp is not in session. We’re very happy to have Sterling Woods close to home and my kids are already eager to return next summer!
You came through and found a spot in the program for Max during on the final week of camp! We are so grateful for your help and assistance, it really showcases how involved you are in both the organization and to its members/participants in Camp Sterling experience.
I truly appreciate the dedication and attention the staff gives to my children, and I’m so glad the YMCA has so many diverse programs. I always suggest it to my friends and family, encouraging them to join and enroll their kids here.
I love the variety of activities and experiences offered to my children. I could peacefully work knowing my children were well supported and cared for.
There isn’t much I don’t like about the program. More importantly my daughter loves camp! She saw Mr. Michael today! She had him as a teacher at the early learning center so it was pretty awesome seeing him at camp! Thank you!
Everything! My child loves going to camp and talks about it all the time. They do a great job communicating with me and they work really hard to provide a safe healthy environment for all the kids.
My son had an absolute blast at camp this year! He loved the ropes courses, swimming and games. We felt very comfortable sending our child everyday and he couldn’t wait to go each week!
I liked everything. The team members from cheers they were very patient and helpful and friendly with the kids. My daughter always come home smiling because she say she had a good time. Thank you for being so kind with my kid.
The facility is very clean and the area for my doing aquatic exercises is great, particularly when no one else is in the designated area. The staff at the entrance are always so friendly. The guards are also very congenial.
