Member Testimonials
Love that he got lots of outdoor time and was exposed to new things especially swimming!
Everything was great. Reminded me of what camp looked like when I was a kid. Appreciate the variety of activities throughout the day. Only constructive feedback would be to have the drive up in the morning go until 9am. Our elementary school doesn't even start until 9:10 so 8:30 was a bit of a shock! Otherwise we love it and can't wait to send my youngest summer 2026!
My child LOVED Camp Saponi. She came home every day excited about what she did and the new friends she made. I was nervous at first since this was the first program she was attending outside of daycare but the YMCA staff took great care of her. I additionally appreciated that pick-up and drop-off were seamless and clearly well organized!
Programs were fun and engaging for daughter
Outdoors! Loved archery and slingshots
YMCA runs a great day camp program! Our 6 year old was entertained all summer!!
My daughter stays so active and loves all the staff.
They made friends the very first day
First off, this is the third one of these we've been asked to fill out, so the best thing you can do to improve the camp is to leave people alone. The staff makes the camp fantastic. They are dedicated, enthusiastic, and able to connect to kids effortlessly. They keep parents informed and lead activities that foster new talents. We cannot wait to send our child back next year and likely fill out another three or four of these.
Enjoyed the camp and all the camp staff.. very friendly
Drop -in and off was wonderful. Counselors were polite, organized and pleasant/happy. Price for weekly camp was affordable.
I like the personable interactions. I feel like my kid isn't just a number otlr another camper. I get daily updates on his behavior and his day to day interactions. I feel very comfortable with my son in their care. I would refer their program to anyone!
Keeping the children engaged, mixing up the activities, the use of time management
Our kids love it
Daily swimming
Archery
Sling shots
Outdoors all summer long!!
Amazing outdoor old-school camp space in the woods!!
Our kid has had the best summer!! They love swimming and playing all day at YMCA with their camp friends and counselors. And YMCA counselors are chosen with early childhood education and resilency in mind, which put us parents at ease.
Kid focused and great staff. I like the emphasis on being outdoors and active. That being said, I have appreciated the caution with the extreme heat this summer.
We love summer camp! Plenty of activities, swimming lessons and open swimming, and always something new to try.
The staff were very attentive, and my son had a great time!
My children feel safe and happy when I picked them up from camp. I love the communication I receives from the staff as needed.
I LOVE the outdoor time and variety of activities. I was told by parents of former campers that my kid would come home sweaty, tired and dirty which is EXACTLY how summer camp should be! It’s usually pulling teeth to get my kid to tell me anything about his day, and he always has something to tell me as soon as he gets in the car. When his grandma asked him what he liked about camp he said “there’s too much to even say” as a parent, I love the direct kid to car service!
THANK YOU for this amazing opportunity to keep my kid off screens, engaged, and having fun with others!
There is such an Amazing variety of activities to do at Camp Saponi. Our son tells us every day of the different fun day he had.
Keeps the kids busy and having fun
My child loves swimming ever day, the weekly themes, and games. My spouse and I like the full time day camp schedule, easy pick up and drop off and YMCA staff enthusiasm amd positive reinforcement.
The kids enjoy every every aspect.
I like the variety of activities including shooting BB gun and archery. My daughter would never try that at another camp. Plus I like the leadership stuff they have her do.
Kids stay active, well monitored
Different daily activities, swimming skills, promoting kindness
Kids stay engaged, they want to go everyday. The variety of experiences is great! We especially like that kids get swimming lessons daily.
My child was constantly engaged and doing different activities. They really seemed to flourish and grow over the course of attending camp this summer. I cannot say enough good things, and am extremely happy with the experience.
