Outdoors and electronic free.
Love that my kid is outside playing and exploring all day. He loves the food and is enjoying every week that he has gone.
my girls liked them all !!
I would like them to do lots of physical type stuff .
I like the ease of drop off and pick up
One problem is the road that comes to the camp gets blocked with other cars at another camp and it makes it dangerous to overtake them to get to YMCA camp. That is a disaster waiting to happen
All the things Camp Cater has to offer is amazing. My kids truly enjoy Camp Carter and look forward to summer camp every year.
I love Camp Carter is such a beautiful place with so many activities for the kids. The YMCA upholds Christian values and try to teach a healthy living lifestyle while instilling social justice and integrity. My granddaughter has attended last 3 summers and she probably will return next summer.
Everything for me because your kids got somewhere to have fun with other kids.
Camp Carter has been amazing experience for my son! He comes home excited with all the new activities he has been able to try as well as new games to play at home. We will definitely be back next summer!
I like the different camp locations and the wide variety of activities available.
Camp times running 7 to 6 really helps working families. The outdoor activities get kids moving for the summer and never bored.
My child is so excited every morning for camp! Nature, making new friends and building confidence make this camp more than just a “place to hang out for summer”. She’ll be back!
I like the friends that I made, the pool, challenge course, and muddy tug of war and going to the point.
Brings back the simplicity of life.
I like the variety of activities. It keeps my daughter busy. I hear about all the cool things (canoeing, archery, horseback riding, hiking, etc.) she does in a day and wish I could go to camp with her.
Foster loves Summer Camp!
Early drop off and late pick up times
Lunch and snacks provided
Swim everyday
Lots of time outside
My kids had a great time. It was money well spent.
I recommend ALL the time. My daughter has had an incredible time this summer and is asking to fo more weeks!
I love that the kids are disconnected, off electronics, and just having fun outdoors.
My son came home exhausted every day, and he loved the variety of activities. His favorite was swimming!
My kiddos love going to camp. They look forward to it every day!
I feel like my child matures so much being at the over night camp. He becomes more independent and learns about things while having a blast. There are honestly not enough good things to say about Camp Carter.
Equestrian program
We haven’t done day camp, but weeklong overnight. Amp a few times. My kids love it and talk about it year round. im sure we will be back next year!
My daughter loved her week at Camp Carter! She made new friends and enjoyed all the outdoor activities.
Always kept the kids busy with adventures. Loved everything about it for the kid
Variety of activities offered
I love that the kids spend all day outside away from electronics and don't miss it at all! My girls beg to go more weeks every summer!
Everyone at the YMCA and Camp Carter programs have been professional, helpful, flexible, and friendly. I have trusted the YMCA with the care of both of my children and they have always been reliable and my kids have loved being part of the YMCA programs. It's truly an asset to families and the community.
How tired he is when he gets home. :)
This was the 1st year my daughter, age 14, attended Camp Carter. She had so much fun and enjoyed meeting new people, that the 1st thing she said when we picked her up was that she wanted to return next year!!

This camp is amazing! I love all the nature & outdoor activities available for my daughter.
