Member Testimonials
The McGee girls from Meadow Lane have enjoyed every camp they attended. Thank you to the staff for keeping them safe and having a good summer! See you next summer!!
Conveniently located in the same pre-K school where my child attended and perfect for after school program. The teachers are great and taught my child a lot- from making art to improving on her writing skills with lots of learned singing too!
I like how personable the instructors are and how they get to know my child. They know what my child likes to do and how he interacts best with others. I feel like my child is in safe hands and has a place to learn and grow.
My son he is very happy. with this summer school thank you very much for having him.
This is our 3rd year doing YMCA camp and we love it! The team does such a great job of curating events and activities for the kids. My son has made great friends at summer camp from other schools that he wouldn't have met during the regular school year.
As a parent, I really like the fact that there are male counselors. My son has expressed interest in being a YMCA counselor "when he grows up". :) The fact that he feels represented in a traditional female-dominated field is wonderful!
Thank you all for your dedication and support.

My child really enjoyed getting up and going to camp each morning. We loved the organized activities and field trips. The communication from staff was great! We always knew what was going on each day.
I love that my kiddo gets a different, fun experience every week during the summer while also making friends.
Kids have structure during the summer, plenty of activities to do and fun experiences
Both of our kids loved their camps this summer (Highlands and Ray Marsh)! The staff were all very friendly and they did a lot of fun activities and field trips over the summer.
good experience
My kiddo had a great time at camp this summer! Highly recommend!
Whitney did a great job and the kids enjoyed the year!
Keeps the kids active all summer. Extended hours are really convenient when juggling work hours too.
The day camp we first attended which was Highland Park was terrible!!! We moved to Unity Village Camp and it’s been amazing. Those teachers are kind, understanding, and compassionate. They greet families when they arrive and when they leave. Ms. Kim and Ms. Treva are so great, I can’t say enough kind things about them. Their staff is well trained and Ms. Kim expects the best from then and it shows because they are the best. We will definitely be attending Unity next year too. The program activities are much different than the others and promote creativity, exploration, and independence. My kids have really grown from this program. So happy to have been a part of this particular camp!!! We will definitely be back next year.
Friendly, organized
Ms. Melissa is great! My son has friends from school and seems happy there
The counselors are amazing. They’re all very nice and professional! They take great care of my daughter!
The structure and field trips are a lot of fun. Knowing that my girl will be cheerfully meeting by a staff meeting each day and seeing her excited to go play with her freinds at y-camp is great. Wish they went to the pool every week, but was glad they still had other things on the weeks they didn't go to pool.
Each week gives the kids a chance to venture out into the city and explore. My kids love everything about camp. The counselors, the activities, field trips and going to the pool!
Convenient, affordable, and fun! Plus, I love that you can sign up for only the weeks you need camp
This is our second summer doing YMCA camp and it’s been great! My daughter is learning to be more responsible and getting a lot less screen time than she would be otherwise! The field trips and special guests have been great!
My daughter really enjoyed all of the field trips and activities. Things were well organized and the communication from staff was helpful each week on what to expect. We appreciate you keeping her busy and happy this summer!
Our son has a great time this summer. Got to do a lot of fun things and make a lot of fun crafts whole meeting new kids.
As a parent, I like that it offers a consistent, full-day schedule that lasts almost the entire summer (great for working parents), includes both indoor and outdoor activities and fun field trips, and that the staff regularly interact with the children. My son loves Kona Ice days, field trips, swimming days, different fun activities and games (he loved the blue foam party and a DNA STEM lesson in particular this summer), and playing with new friends.
The Ray Marsh location!!! The staff was great…the kids were great! Definitely will be returning next year
My son Really love summer camp in highland elementary school, Michela, Angela, Katrina, Brittany and the rest of the teachers are awesome, their vocation for this work is impressive
Alexis and Jared are amazing. They listened, helped problem solve and treated my son with love, understanding and care. Thankful to have been a part of the Belinder summer camp!
The Y-Club staff are hands on and professional. My girls are positive and their self confidence has grown. They have learned a lot while attending the Y-Club.
The staff at Ray Marsh did an incredible job programming fun, engaging, and educational activities for my daughter! I will absolutely be enrolling her next summer! My only regret was not getting her enrolled sooner so she could have enjoyed the full term.

My son always has a blast! He loves all the field trips!
