This is the first year for my kids to attend the YMCA Summer Camp and they are absolutely loving it. I kept hearing good things about the camp and it has not disappointed at all. The staff is so kind, they always have something planned for them to do, my kiddos get to go on different trips/adventures every week multiple times. It's all the way around a fabulous heart warming set up for everyone, kids and parents. Parents know their kids are safe and enjoying a fun summer and its affordable, especially considering everything they get to do. It's so appreciated and allowing me to work and without breaking the bank even more. We will be back next year!!
The YMCA provides a great list of activities and accommodations for all ages including classes, sports, swimming, rock wall, challenge course, weightlifting, birthday party, racquetball, and pickleball.
I would say the most important aspect of your programs are that it allows my husband and I to go to our jobs with minimal interruption to our work day. By having the morning, after school and then School Day out, Summer Day Camp programs, we are able to continue working our regular work schedules which is very much appreciated.
We also love that the Summer Day Camp offers breakfast, lunch, snack and entertainment for the kids. The arts and crafts, sports, field trips and swimming days allow our kids to still feel like they are having a fun summer, even if we cant take them on a vacation. So we appreciate that very much.
Plus a lot of their friends also attend the programs you offer, so that helps to give them time to socialize and have fun with their friends too.
The best part of the YMCA school program is Miss Brenley! She is the reason I can work and not worry about our special needs daughter. She fits into the program seamlessly and she absolutely loves it! Consistent staff is extremely valuable to our family. Miss Michelle and Mr. Bryce have been amazing additions to the summer program with the Cowden/Holland students. The programs are educationally sound, the snacks are healthy and filling, and the playtime is organized and age-appropriate. We appreciate the coordination and the low-cost option for care for our kiddo. Thank you, YMCA!
