Kids loves it! I wish there was a bus from Sumner or Puyallup!

My daughter had an amazing time. It was well organized, there was great communication, and everything went as smoothly as possible.

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 camp was well organized, the shuttles were on time and diligent about safety. The kids loved the diverse activity options.

The decompression opportunity it provides my son.

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 Helena. She loves canoeing and the fun activities her counselors did with them. Being outdoors all day is awesome!

My daughter enjoyed her whole week and wants to come back again next week. Checking in and out was very easy. My daughter had plenty to do each day.

The structure of the camp, the amazing camp counselors, the variety of outdoor activities, the connection and playfulness

My kids had a great time at Camp Lake Helena- they loved the lake, games, and fun with friends

Variety of activities and location

My son (8) had a great time and was so eager to tell me everything he did that day when I picked him up.

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!

Mica loved the camp. Lots of new friends and activities!

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.

really attentive staff, solve the issue on next day. Overall kid is happy.
