My son was excited to go to camp every day and can't wait to return next year. He is very into sports, and the fact that camp got him into something else (theater) was so great.

The camp was engaging. It offered a good blend of academics and fun. Our kids were able to make new friends and continue to learn and explore during the summer.

The staff is so welcoming and friendly! My daughter can be a bit shy at first, but she's really jumped into camp this summer and has been having a great time. She's excited to go to camp each morning and it's been great to see her having such an awesome time.

Consistency in formatting of information with the different camps would be extremely helpful. The various emails, links and website information is confusing, and some information was not accurate. The address for dropoff camp was not correct and I had to call the main office to get the correct location.

This has been such a great summer experience for my son! Between the pool and field trips, he's had a blast and made new friends. He's doing a skateboard clinic as well and is surprising himself with how much fun he's having. He's not usually a sports kid, so this has been very eye opening for him. Thanks so much to everyone who makes this program so special!

The variety of trips at Teen Adventure Camp. The staff has been so friendly and at Creative Theatre Camp as well. My very introverted daughter is having the “best summer ever” as she said! Thank you so much South Mountain YMCA for your dedication to children and quality summer programming.

great chance to hang out with kids from school in a different environment. the activities were fantastic, well-planned, well-communicated, and spaced out well. of course no pool was a big downside, but out of your control, obviously. a little more communication from the Y's end on that would have been helpful, as, of course, would even one day negotiated at a different pool. But to be clear, it was obvious that SO didn't have their schedule figured out well until very late. Finally--how fantastic for the kids to be able to sign themselves in and out. it's a really great way to give them some independence while also some structure. If AT ALL possible, I'd recommend allocating the resources to call parents if kids are absent without notice. I can't imagine it would take a ton of time, and it would help a lot for those of us who want our kids safe, independent and SCREENLESS. thanks for a glorious couple of sessions!
