Variety with each week

Amazing staff, very caring and responsive and our children have a ton of fun! The staff was truly amazing during a bit of a scare for our son who was injured by a pure accident and they made us feel much better by their commitment to his best interest and swift action!

Teaching the kids how to swim. Having different themes during the week was awesome gave us something to look forward too! The Y summer camp team was awesome my children loved them!

We really like the opportunity of swimming everyday as well as the arts and crafts that foster creativity.

I love that the hours are reasonable for working parents. The Y has one of the few camps these days that doesn’t end at 4 or only runs Mon - Thurs. My kid loved being able to swim everyday. He even made a new friend that’s in his class at school! Having a camp option close to home with great hours, and amazing staff, is priceless.

Clases de zumba, clases de natación

My kids love the program.

The counselors are amazing!! I love ms Becky!

Everything about our experience with the Manchester YMCA Day Camp has been wonderful. My son loved the opportunity to go swimming every day. Some days he came home with crafts or things he'd made related to the camp theme for the week. All the camp counselors were friendly and seemed to really care. Rides In and Out were quick and easy. I LOVE the hours - so many camps lately have hours that aren't realistsic for most working parents. All in all - our experience this summer has us looking forward to next summer.

Red hawk camp

I like how interactive the coaches are with the children

Swimming each day at summer camp. Our 8 year old loves the all day play and making new friends.

Incredible and attentive staff and an inclusive place where my children love to be.

Summer camp counselors are very friendly and nice

The staff at Manchester YMCA are very pleasant and do an awesome job interacting with all the kids.

We love the mission of the ymca and the programs they provide for our kids. Camp red hawk was tough for Miriam just due to an accidental fall and breaking her arm, but otherwise she had a great time. We can’t wait to enroll her again in the future.

We love ms Becky, janaya, ms k, ms tyasia. We love the staff!

My daughter loved the camp and the counselors. The staff was very nice and attentive. She wants to return next year!

The camp program is high energy and the swim lessons given is a plus

My son had a wonderful experience at the YMCA Day Camp.

The program and camp counselors did an excellent job this summer my son would come back and talk about his day and how much he looked forward to the next activity whether it was making slime or puppets learning new things! He will be back next summer!

Swimming every day has been an amazing activity for my daughter.

I an a first timer, The curriculum was age appropriate, fun and the staff was always engaging. The final day of Camp was bitter sweet, I was excited that the children were being readied for back to school, but did the tears flow....the Staff missing the kids and the kids missing the Staff. I felt the LOVE

Love the counselors: ms Maria

Everyone always seemed so happy to see my child. She feels loved and included. I know she is busy during the day and her swimming skills are getting stronger.

I love that these campers get to do STEM experiments every day! No other camp offers STEM every day.

My child enjoyed the sports camps.

My son love attending camp from swimming to fellowship.

Love them!
It has given children the opportunities to learn and communicate effectively with/from each other in preparation for real life experiences.
Children gain/build self confidence, independence and sharpen Team building skills. They are shown that they have value and worth, they have a voice, their voices are heard and their voices matter.
The Staff's communication/leadership skills are strengthened because they realize DAILY that no child is the same, challenging perhaps, but their recommitment is real.
These things I've seen for myself.

My daughter loves the counselors/staff. She enjoys the atmosphere. She loves activities: watching movies, swimming, STEM, trivia and GAGA. She can't wait to return next year.
