Member Testimonials
You provide a variety of activities for all kinds of people
The summer sports camp at French Creek YMCA is perfect. Both Hannah and Julia are amazing!! This is unfortunately our last year sending our son their but only because he has aged out and no longer eligible, but thank you to all the consolers for 3 amazing summers for him!
A wide variety of programs and great instructor .
People are so friendly and helpful...facility is clean and open at good times
I like the lay out of the gym. Plenty of equipment to choose from and I never have to wait. Staff is friendly and professional.
Caring counselors, messaging (play with purpose), variety of activities, field trips, specialty weeks, recognition.
My son loves the challenge of earning ribbons for good behavior. It has helped him understand the different types of good behavior (or how to just be a good human) and it has been a great tool to use for reinforcement at home. We have been going to camp for years and will keep coming back until he ages out. Thank you Ms Hannah and staff!
Wonderful facilities. I love the warm water rec pool.
I have been absolutely thrilled with the camp and am really excited to sign my child up for more weeks/ more specialties next year. My only critique, which does lower my score from a 10 to a 9 would be maybe some staff need more mentoring/ education/ support on how to interact in positive ways with the students. I know it is A LOT to have 20 plus kids all pulling for your attention, and that is why teaching is not for everyone! I was hearing about one teacher in particular who did a lot of yelling, and this made my child pretty anxious to go the first few days. If this teacher is brought back another year, I think some serious training and mentoring needs to take place, but may deter me from signing my child up for that particular specialty.
I like the facility: clean, upbeat environment, cool temps during current extreme heat / humidity.
Presenters are motivated & energetic. More importantly they communicate well during their presentation . Their speaker can be heard. They are skilled & present information on the exercises which is very helpful.
Great variety.
I’m a silver sneaker member and like the exercise classes held in the Presbyterian Church in Amherst. Excellent instructors, but need to have substitutes so the instructors can have someone to fill in when needed.
The pool
I like the variety that they are always doing something different. They love coach Cam!
The focus on the child, their development, working with others, growing, learning. You can tell a lot of effort is out into the programs and my kids enjoy themselves. I also really appreciate the tech- free experience.
Swimming in the competition pool
Keeps kids busy and active and they have lots of fun. It’s so well organized. Appreciate all you guys do!
My kids are only attending for a total of 2 weeks this summer, but they have loved it. They really enjoy the field trips. They really like the coaches (especially Coach Kam!) They loved the chicken games and my older son still watches the videos on YouTube.
Hannah does a GREAT job letting the campers have a variety of free play and organized exercises, and I cannot say how much I love the value system. Thank you to Hannah and all of the staff! Cannot recommend this camp highly enough!
Positive feedback from child in the program except for counselor Jewles. This counselor would use language (swearing) that we don't use at home. I just explained to the children that it is inappropriate behavior and not to model it.
Love the engagement, art/science projects and creativity that is encouraged!
They fit our schedule and our child enjoys the swim lessons!
Our son has been attending Sports Camp now for 4 years. He loves the relationship with the Crushers and that they get to play on the field. He also lo es being Miss Hannah's helper. He is learning responsibility when given tasks to complete. Hannah ROCKS!
Our kids have attended FCY Specialty Camps now for the last 4 years and they love it!
Our kids love Miss Hannah and her camp staff!
There is such a wide variety of offerings, something for everybody. We are enrolled in the Move 2 Lose program and our classmates have become our friends. We also like the EGym and the availability of all the equipment, which is maintained and kept clean.
Wide variety of options tailored to my needs.
physical, keeps them busy and active, they learn new games or new twists on classic, the variety, how competitive they get, how they look forward to getting ribbons
I like the values you promoted. My daughter got really into them.
Great times, availability, really love the classes for seniors, instructors are great. Having availability for seniors, arthritis classes, pool classes, yoga especially chair yoga, love the Les Mills classes. As a senior, having classes that I can do to get and keep me in shape, pool classes, yoga and chair yoga, the Les Mills classes are so great. It is really appreciated that seniors are not forgotten.
