it keeps kids entertained , busy and teaches them values in working with others
The weekly themes, themed activities and Field trips are great to keep the children engaged and busy. Being able to have pool time each day is an added plus
Camp leaders interact with the kids
My grand daughter attended the Bedford summer day camp for the first time this summer and absolutely loves it. I will be sure to sign her up earlier next summer to make sure she can get into all weekly camps. I didn’t find out about the day camp until mid June so some of the weeks were already full. But I was able to get her into weeks 7, 9, 10, and 11 to finish out her summer! The staff is great and the drop offs and pick ups are seamless! Thank you for providing this opportunity to our youth!!
Friendly and attentive staff, kids stay engaged
They keep kids active
The staff are great with my kiddo and everyone communicates very well! The issues we have dealt with were professionally handled and promptly addressed. The YMCA is our go-to place for kids activities!
This program is great, they are quick to communicate with you. They have taken great care of my daughter and they have tons of fun plans for the summer program
Staff is great, kids stay busy and my son loves it there.
The counselors are very caring and have offered a lot of support to my son. He has really enjoyed camp and looks forward to going. The staff including the lifeguards and the program director have been kind and accommodating. I wish I knew more names! It's been such a relief to have him be physically active and stimulated opposed to being at home on screens too much with little socialization.
The programs are very engaging and there are a lot of activities planned throughout the day.
Well run with friendly staff!
Well run with friendly staff and kiddos!
I love how organized camp is and how many activities are planned each day to keep my son engaged. The staff does a great job notifying parents of any issues or highlighting great successes. My son is excited to go to camp everyday and asks to stay as long as possible. He loves it!
Northpark YMCA has done a fantastic job of providing the kids with a fun yet safe environment. The activities are fun and creative. The staff is well engaged. My son couldn’t wait to go back daily.
My daughter loves the program!
My grandchildren have attended both YMCA locations. The site manager at Northpark is awesome. She extends herself to get to the bottom of things. She’s professional and one of grandchildren that attend their days she likes it there and staff is friendly.
How organized the field trips are and the staff make sure to keep the parents informed of the details regarding the trips.i feel sending my great grandson to the YMCA summer camp was a great decision.
Clark has really enjoyed camp this summer! I appreciate that he has been very engaged and active!
Like that my son has so many activities and so excited to get up to go to camp daily
My kids have a lot fun participating in the different activities.
Programs are okay, but the swim camp needs to be improved.
Our experience with the Ryan Family YMCA Summer Camp (@ JA Hargrave Elementary) has been truly positive. I especially appreciated the weekly swimming sessions and field trips, which added variety and excitement to my son’s summer. The staff was always friendly and welcoming, and my son seemed to genuinely enjoy his time at camp.
I’d like to extend a special thank you to Andrew Pettis for his consistent communication. His emails kept me informed of upcoming activities and helped me stay engaged with what was happening at camp. I also appreciated seeing his active presence at YMCA events like Food Truck Mondays and the Safety Around Water lessons after camp hours. It meant a lot to see him greet my son, Orion, at these events. It truly showed a level of care and community connection that I value as a parent.
Thank you again for creating such a supportive and fun environment for the kids this summer!
Everything with Bedford YMCA camp has always been very nice and an easy set up for my family to accommodate. My son likes being able to swim twice a week, do crafts and go on the weekly field trips. This camp definitely provides the most value for the money you spend compared to others in the area. This was our second year to attend and he has already said he wants to return next summer! Thank you for offering this!
I love the field trips and the staff!
The Day camp helps promotes socialization and communication for my child as well as creative activities.
There's a variety to choose from. As a parent, I appreciate the hard work and dedication that is put into the programs.
The pool. My daughter attends day camp and loves swimming along with making lots of friends.
Great activities for kids
Ms.Mechell and her staff have been a God send! I had horrific experiences with other child care centers and I’m so grateful to have found the team at Ella McFadden. We’ve been here for almost 2 years and now my baby is moving onto Kindergarten! They’ve taken such good care of him through every phase so far and the patience they’ve displayed is that of a saint. This job isn’t easy but they always greet us with patience and a smile. 10/10 would recommend (:
