The camp program was well planned because it had a variety of fun and engaging activities for the kids. The staff was great too and the children got a chance to make new friends! We look forward to what's in store next summer! Thanks YMCA team
Terrific. Safe, reliable place where your child will enjoy the day.
Kids had lots of fun!
My daughter had the time of her life. She looked forward to summer camp everyday. I was nervous about her attending camp at age 3 but she did well. They staff were kind and supportive. We will return next year.

The camp counselors were absolutely amazing and the activities were so fun. My son had a fabulous time
My son loved y care summer camp!
I’ve used before. We are thankful for this offering as double working parents. .
I loved the amount of activities available during the camp. Each week was at least 1 field trip. My son was able to ride a horse for the 1st time. Just amazing opportunities. Kept my son active and engaged all summer. Loved having swim every Friday. Loved it!
The kids loved it. It had a great range of activities and communication was run well. Jesus was great and kept us up to date on information and how the camp was going. Now just do one close to Brookside! Thank you!
Great experience.
The Instructors are very knowledgeable & personable. Our little one enjoyed each week with the awesome activities and field trips that were planned. What a great experience!
Staff was exceptionally kind, professional, attentive, and organized. My daughter experienced none of her traditional social anxieties. I felt that she was well cared for. The structure of the entire camp was remarkably well done. I cannot speak highly enough of Jesus' YMCA summer program.
It is a great place for my daughter to go during the summer while I am working. Its keeps her active and around other kids her age. She gets to go on field trips and going swimming and participate in fun summer activities.
My child enjoyed the field trips and team building games
Excellent people excellent place. Highly recommend.
It was very well organized. There were a variety of field trips that were great for all ages. There were different types of activities each week that could appeal to different interests.
Please enable the YMCA and/or JCPRC to continue offering this no matter what the cost. We have to work during the summer and this enriches our kid's lives during the summer. I understand there's a cost to the district but it means a lot that you chose to use our home elementary school for this.
The teachers are kind and keep the kids' behavior in check. They do fun theming and frequent fields trips. My daughter's confidence level has increased significantly with the consistency of staffing allowing her to be able to form connections with the teachers.
Safe reliable staff. Activities for kiddos
Great teachers, activities and programas
Tha staff are all awesome. The kids seem to like it at the Y-day camp. The locations are always at t local elementary school which is nice because the camp locations are usually convenient and because our children get to meet children from other surrounding elemenbary schools wihch will be nice for when they go to middle school and they will already know some children from the other elementary schools that feed into the middle school.
My son has had so much fun at YMCA Blue Valley Day Camp for the past two summers. There are many fun field trips and always a lot of different activities for him to participate in, from arts/crafts to sports/games. I personally appreciate that they have dedicated time for reading, too.
My son always comes home fulfilled and says he had fun/ a good day! The camp directors have always been great about communicating upcoming events and reminders.
The only activity my son has mentioned on a couple of occasions both this summer and last, that he doesn't have amazing feedback on is the pool. I think being indoors is not as much fun as when he did a JCPRD camp where they went to outdoor pools. I understand there are not as many community pools in Blue Valley, and that you'd like to use YMCA facilities, but if you are already bussing them all the way to Prairie Village, from southern OP, I thought I would share.
He has also mentioned that the swim test is inconsistent across locations - he was very disappointed that he could not wear goggles during the swim test at the Olathe location. This threw him off and he didn't want to do the test, even though he can swim. Olympians get to wear goggles, he says. :-)
Thank you for a great program and we definitely plan to sign up again next year!
My son has had a great time at camp. He has met many new friends and loves the staff. It has been a great summer and am happy that he was able to attend.
We've been going for several years now and it's been a wonderful experience. The staff is so good with the kids and the activities have been excellent.
The comfortable environment created that my grandson enjoys very much. He likes the counselors.
My girls loved it. They liked the teachers and loved all the fun field trips.
My kids loved the staff! They kept them busy :)
Fun field trips and lots of activities for the kids.
