Member Testimonials
The experience for me as a parent has been outstanding. The overall experience has run very smoothly due to the enhanced day to day communication and transparency between Sherry Freeburn and parents, she is truly amazing. Prior to Maddox starting camp, the staff contacted me to make sure his individual needs would be met and they absolutely have been. Maddox comes home daily to tell me about all the fun activities he did throughout the day and how "creative and crafty Ms. Sherry is". This will be the second year Maddox has attending this program and the experience this year has exceeded expectations. All of the staff have been so kind and I cannot thank everyone enough for all they have done for not just Maddox but me as well!
It has good equipment & some good classes
Coach Julia and Coach Tina are so great with these kids, and they also structure the class in a way where I truly feel they’re teaching my daughter about more than just the basics of swimming - they incorporate water safety, etc. - which obviously makes me feel good as a mom. Additionally, they are both able to explain strategies to parents in such a helpful way - the purpose of “pass the fishy,” for example. We’ve been lucky enough to have them two sessions in a row and my fingers are crossed we’ll get them again in the fall!
The program seems to be very engaging. The kids enjoy having time learning and doing academics but also love being able to go to camp and doing fun activities also learning new skills. The staff is great and does a good job with the students.
Many things to do and staff is very nice and helpful.
I like that its not a full day of straight academic they incorporate arts and craft and different activities
Communication outreach has been very good (meet and greet nights, emails, etc.). Whenever an issue has come up, staff has been very accommodating. And of course our daughter is having fun!
Used the pool . Friendly staff . Well equipped facility
Angie is having a fantastic time at Bradford el and at Camp Trickling falls. Everyday she is excited to tell me what she did. I appreciate the program. My only wish was that my 9 year old daughter could have joined also.
The kids learn about tools to read but also get to enjoy the outdoors and activities.
My.son always enjoys his time with camp. He loves getting to play with water.
My son loves the staff and has made new friends. He really enjoyed it when they did the slip and slide outside. I’m hoping they will continue to offer fun activities , and outings for the kids. It’s seams there was more of that last year.
I have been overall very satisfied with all of his camp experiences. Camilo has really enjoyed the camp at Gateway Academy, as well as the camp in Georgetown at the bag now school, as well as a couple days up at CTF. He has never had these experiences before, and being on the spectrum, he needs a little extra help sometimes. The staff have been phenomenal with him, and I am very thankful.
My two children have loved the indoor soccer program offered to members.
They both look forward to coming back every week and playing games with Coach Paul and Coach Nathan.
As a family, we greatly appreciate this opportunity for our children to learn basic soccer skills, and make friends along the way.
Grandchildren love it. Having a lot of fun. Meeting new friends
Our daughter came home every day with a smile on her face. Her experience at Camp Tricklin Falls was one she will never forget. She was encouraged to make new friends, and the camp team was supportive in every way. In particular, her camp counselor Brianna made quite an impact, as well as Carlos the camp director.
Hadley absolutely LOVED her week at Camp Tricklin Falls!
She attended during a week when the temperatures were extremely high, but the staff made sure everyone was well hydrated, safe and having fun!
She loved her counselor (Brianna P), and couldn't stop talking about her experience boating and the water slide! Kudos to the entire team! We will be sending her back for another week soon!
Staff is friendly and keep the workout area clean
Amazing equipment and amazing staff 10/10 would recommend
The summer camp is a great way to get my child outside and socialize with other children.
I like that my son has something fun to do while on school break and I feel comfortable leaving him with the camp staff as they assure me they take care of him
My child is kept very active.
These are activities that develop intellect and independence. My son enjoyed the pool and karate classes, as well as the teachers who care for him.
Hi, my daughter left her water bottle at home and while I know there are fountains on the ground she told me (due to the amount of children accessing them) they were not functioning properly. I would like to bring this to your attention as it has been really hot these past few weeks and could lead to heat related issues. I would suggest having a couple gallons of water in a cooler / iced for those who forget their water bottles in the future as a precaution.
I live 3 mi from the Plaistow Y so I usually go there. I love the Mumbai classes. I took Donna's class on Wednesday and loved it. Class was Full of energy and a great workout
Friendly people, pool, & professional leaders.
I love how happy Thomas is everyday when I pick him up. All the staff are attentive and care about the kids. I am not sure what activities they do, but its a good team and the kids are happy.
The staff is always friendly and very helpful.
My daughter loves this camp. I'm kind of sad i booked her two weeks somewhere else.
My 12 year old son has been attending summer camp at camp trickling falls almost every year but one since he was younger and he loves the staff and activities that they have for the kids to keep active and cool with the lake on site. He enjoys meeting up with the previous years friends and making new friends. I am very pleased with the knowledge and training of the staff at camp and at the Haverhill location. I couldn't ask for or even want anything more from the the Haverhill YMCA, I am very happy with the care they provide to my child.
