Jocelyn has been such an amazing person to my children while under her care at The YMCA she’s very informative giving me important information that I need to know.my children and I are thrilled to have someone like her to be apart of your staff thanks a lot.
I love the convenience of the YMCA after-school program at Summerfield Crossing Elementary, but most of all, Ms. Karissa, I appreciate you. You are truly awesome! You take care of the kids like they’re your very own. Always communicating, keeping parents informed, and handling every situation with patience and love. My son can be a hand full at times, but you correct him with care and compassion. It’s clear that you genuinely love what you do and the students you work with. Thank you for all that you do, Ms. Karissa. You’re the best! 💛
I enjoy the staff. Everyone is friendly and always ready to answer any questions.
The people are great that work there. Its kept clean. Hours are good.
From the caring and attentive staff to the variety of engaging activities, it’s clear that they go above and beyond to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for our little ones.
What stands out most is the balance they provide — kids get time to complete homework, participate in active play, and enjoy creative projects that help them learn and grow. The communication with parents is excellent, and I always feel confident knowing my child is in great hands after school.
The YMCA has created a program that not only supports working families but also helps kids build confidence, friendships, and positive habits. Highly recommend to any parent looking for quality after-school care!
So helpful for working parents! Kids seem to enjoy it!
My son enjoys going there every afternoon. They also encourage the students to complete their homework, which saves a lot of time at home in the evenings.
It's a great place but very crowded
The location for me is very nice, I belong to EOS Gym but it's about 30 minutes away

Counselors have done well learning all the kids and have improved on their checkout procedures.
As members of the YMCA for a few years now in multiple different states, we value the YMCA engagement and the impact it has had on our children. This school year of 2025 and 2026 we have joined another addition of the YMCA and started to participate in their afterachool program with Nelson Elementary School in Dover, FL. I am super pleased to announce that my expierience has been an absolute pleasure and the counselors overall have addressed every concern. Mrs.Joslin is extremely kind and patient and is a great counselor for the YMCA. When I had a behavior concern with my children at this after care it was handled swiftly and abruptly even though I sent the email at 5:00 pm on a Friday, I had a solution within half an hour and my sons have both informed me that the concerning behavior has stopped from other students and they love going. I was impressed with how the YMCA handled the situation and how quickly they attempted to reach out to connect with me after I sent an email on a Friday afternoon. Special shout out to Danelle and Hillary who very quickly helped me with my resolution in this matter.
I am beyond impressed with how frequently I have been able to connect my kids with the parents night out and kids night out programs at both the Campo YMCA and the Camp Christina YMCA. Every single counselor we have has been nothing but energetic and kind to my sons with a positive attitude.
We love the YMCA and will continue to engage in services for the family friendly atmosphere they have and how quickly they are able to come up with solutions and support for my family.
Everyone is very nice here and friendly
Friendly staff
Learning oriented. All players are given a chance. My son always ends a session better than he started.
My daughter has been going to the YMCA after school for two years . Ms. Jocelyn is such an outstanding counselor. She’s more like family. She’s caring and so are the other counselors they do their best to make sure my child stays safe and has a great time till I pick her up. I would recommend this program to any parent. Mostly the fact that my child stays on campus no need for vehicle transportation. We are so grateful for Ms. Jocelyn. 😀
Great staff!
