I love the structure they have plus the field trips! Everyone has been wonderful. They are organized and that can be a challenge with so many kids.
Activities, fair pricing
So far we have afternoon ycare since we are still in summer school but they keep the kids busy and i feel like they treat them with the respect but also teach the kids they have to be respectful.
No matter how many kids are there they make your kid feel important and they actually care for them and are hands on.
My son has fun most days at y camp. If it’s a bad day, the counselors have notified us parents of any issues. I feel my son is safe and well taken care of during camp.
Very friendly and informative staff, very efficient!
My daughter stays busy with various educational and developmental activities She always brings positive feedback from the club. I feel she is in good hands. Thank you.
Hours and Cost :) also the variety of special activities during the week
AND the unlimited craft supplies <3
The employees have been absolutely amazing. I appreciate the early drop off time and the consistent activities so my kid doesn’t get bored on repeat.
The activities
The staff is friendly and approachable and you can tell they truly enjoy being with the kids. There’s a wide variety of activities and field trips and my son comes home every day excited to tell me about what he did. All in all, a great way for him to spend the day while I’m at work!
Really like the field trips and activities without screen time
We LOVE Ms. Tiffany and Ms. Melanie. They are sweet, kind, and personable, and they are always there to greet my child in the mornings, which is very important to me. They do an incredible job keeping that place running, and I am always aware if there is an issue with Aria. I love the activities they do, and I know Aria is safe and cared for.
Excellent program. Teachers are engaged, great at communicating and program is well organized. My son looks forward to attending everyday!
Safe and fun environment. My daughter loves camp and the employees are great and care about the kids.
The staff at Highlands is wonderful. Everyone is super caring and wants the best for my child. Initially our daughter was sad and upset that she had to go to camp but the staff has been so welcoming she now looks forward to camp days. Also the programming/fields are great. Creative and new experiences that our family plans on re-visiting during the school year. Thanks!
The YMCA Shawnee Mission summer day camp has been a fantastic experience. The staff is exceptionally wonderful—organized, communicative, and clearly passionate about what they do. I appreciate the regular reminders before field trips and the strong teamwork and leadership shown during outings. My 6-year-old daughter is well cared for and truly enjoying all the activities offered. I couldn’t be happier with the experience!
I like that every week there are fun activities and fieldtrips for my children to participate in. They are excited and look forward to attending every week.
Reliable and safe care that gives kids a place to be kids!
My child has learned a lot from the camp by engaging with his peers and learning the different activities the camp offers
My son loves this Camp! Every day, he asks me if I can pick him up later so he can spend more time there.
Counselors are very kind and supportive of my daughter.
Keep the kids active and engaged without . The experiences they get at the field trips.
Exceptional staff and leaders. Caring. Inclusive. Organized. Engaged. Upholding of all decent human morals. My daughter has thrived at these camps.
The day camps are great. I wish that I could get in all summer for my daughter. It is hard that they fill up too fast. Really hard to find care once they fill up
The field trips! The pool days. I’m sad that the field trip to Deanna Rose did not get rescheduled for the rain though.
Flexible hours, structured activities, friendly counselors!
We really like how fun and welcoming the day camp is! The staff are super friendly, and there are always different activities to try-like games, crafts, and outdoor adventures. My son has made a lot of new friends, and every day feels exciting. It’s a great place to spend the summer!
Flexibility in programing/attendance. My child loves the YMCA!
All the different activities that directors have planned for the kiddos
