Very helpful and friendly
My son has it only made friends at Herman and Kate Y but he enjoys being there.
Old school and energy filled.
All activities and programs all ages
We like the positive, affirming attitude of the staff at the YMCA, where every child is supported and allowed to develop their own interests. We also appreciate the physical activity that kids enjoy at the Y, especially the swimming.
Trusted attitudes and associates there, it’s really quite impressive how much they can handle when it comes to adults/kids ratio. Also the kids loved every single day for the 6 weeks they were at day camp. Always had things to do and got to move their bodies around instead of sitting in front of screens all day!
The programs were laid out very well and ensured the kids had a variety of activities to do. Staff and counselors are always very friendly. Shout out to Olivia Gross for always being very helpful.
The outdoor activities that they wouldn’t be able to do anywhere else, the pool time was huge for my daughter, and the time! It’s amazing to have a camp that has an option to drop off early
And pick up later without another large fee.
Great interactions and counselors. My son and niece were able to attend and they shared how they were able to make connections and each shared high points of their week at camp. Tori, Bri, and Silas were names mentioned by the kids that deserve a shout out. Thank you!!
It's wonderful, as a parent of a young child, to still get to participate in activities like yoga and other workouts
Ease of enrollment and the patient instructors
I really like how my kids have new activities and are staying active. Love that they go the gym, and go swimming. I work from home, so they technically COULD stay home. But I knew it was going to a lot of snacks in front of the TV. So I feel good about sending them to the Y this summer. It was also a very nice surprise that lunch was included this season with your partnership.
My son always has fun and he loves to swim and fish
I love that the kids get to be outside with nature and the kids love getting to swim every day! The campus is beautiful!
Gym
Excellent staff. Varied programs.
I love that there isn't any screen time and that kids get to hike, fish, do archery, and other outdoor activities.
I love how inclusive and welcoming the Y has been for my child. She has also stayed very busy playing and swimming every day and she has loved it. Big shout out to Mr. Clint.
Love the variety of activities that are offered for my kids who like playing outside but also like sitdown activities.
Staff is great and my child enjoys the time she spends there.
I feel like the staff has done a great job communicating everything this year; field trips, schedules, curriculum, etc. which is such an improvement. Noah loved camp even more this summer and talked about how much he really liked his teachers. It was a great experience for all of us and hope to send him again next summer!
Our kids have so much fun every Summer! Our youngest isn't an outside kid, but really loves going to H&K Summer camp. Olivia is amazing and really knows our kids.
My child loves camp at H&K!! She has gone for several years and it is always wonderful. Olivia and the counselors are wonderful!! Thank you for making incredible, lifelong memories for my girl!
I appreciate having safe, trusted, local adults helping mentor my son and encouraging great behaviors and sportsmanship out of him while I'm at work.
I have always liked the convenience of the Downtown Y. I did miss the in-person classes that ended with COVID. For many years, I had a set of gym friends with whom I did classes so I missed seeing them.
