My son loves that it is outside and at a lake. He has loved all the activities and looks forword to camp every year. I like the hours 9-3 is great! 9-4 would be better.
Our 7 year old had a lot of fun. It was the cooler week with rain and he still had a blast. The drop off / pick up is way better than it was before YMCA took over.
The resilience and independence you all nurture is unmatched. My daughter struggled at the other camp we went to this summer, but truly thrived with y’all! We will be back for the entire summer next year!!
My daughter loved Camp at Lake Helena! She asked to return every summer. She enjoyed the friendships she made, the counselors, and the activities. 10/10 recommend!
My children had a blast. This is their second summer attending camp at Lake Helena, and they have both already said that they want to come back next year. They love the variety of activities - they can try something new everyday.
The activities, tie-dying, boating, lake time, making bracelets, camp fire, the transportation options, camp myths. Courtney yelled at the kids alot on the bus and in groups which put a damper on things, but overall it was a good experience and we will be going again.
My six year old daughter was immediately comfortable when we arrived at camp and so was I. Everyone is exceptionally warm and friendly, and there is a real palpable energy of fun at camp!
Kids seemed happy with the activities. At previous day camps my kids came back using language I didn’t like and conversing in disrespectful tones. I didn’t notice that after this camp. I think the counselors did a good job keeping the atmosphere positive and kind.
