Member Testimonials

Such a great program and keeps my son active over the summer break.

The kids had a great time thank you

Kaia has a blast every week at camp! They are always doing something fun and active.

The director, Shantese Harvey is amazing! Very organized and excellent communication.
The kids love the camp, they are able to try new things and help build confidence.

The structure and the counselors who are actually paying attention to the kids

We wanted our son outdoors and having fun! That's exactly what he did this past week at camp! We are very pleased! He will definitely be back next year!

The kids are outdoors and active most of the day.

My LO loved the rock painting and making “magic” with Mr. John.

I like that I can trust that you will do what you say you are going to do. My kids are safe, cared for in a while that helps maintain their freedom to be kids. The kids always had funny stories from their counselors. The music played was appropriate. Their safety was a priority when it ae to the temperature outside or how the group behaved. I wish all ymca's were the same in this regard but I know Camp Saponi is!

Very organized and well thought out program! My child was kept busy and had fun each day!

I love the welcoming of the kids by name with a smile and organized manner they get to their respective huddles. For those arriving after the group is at the campsite, there is always a staff member to receive at the top of the hill to escort to the campsite. Total satisfaction with the pick up system at the dismissal.
My granddaughter is always very happy with her day at camp…

The hours, staff and activities

Love it all and the camp leaders!

The staff at the YMCA Day Camp are one of a kind! They fostered a culture of fun and structure that made for a memorable week for our kids!

Third year in a row our child has attended the day camp. We are very pleased.

I love your swim program!!! Thank you for teaching our kids!

Good communication. kids come home dirty and tired, and are having great experiences without technology and screens getting in the way. Especially pleased with the swimming program.

So far, my kid has been having a great time at summer camp. Nicely run and very organized. Camp director has a great attitude and very friendly in the mornings.

Times for pick up and drop off . My kids are ways entertained and have fun.

My son enjoyed himself so much. Especially pool time.

My son came home every afternoon smiling and full of excitement! He loved the archery especially.

My daughter loves summer camp! The activities and counselors are great!

Convenient to our home and that over the years the staff has made our kids like family.

Great experience! My son is autistic and was terrified of water- pool is his favorite now and he is even trying to swim! Thanks to this great camp!

We loved the activities, we loved the times the camp
was open, and the amazing drop off and pick up organization.

There seemed to be some confusion around the swim test - my swim team kiddo was not allowed out of the shallow end? But I’m thankful when in doubt the staff erred on the side of safety and caution. My kids came home each day happy and tired!

YMCA Midlothian is one of the most well organized organizations and this is why our family enjoys participating in the sports camps and clinics as well as summer programs. My husband and I coach soccer for our son's team and we have everything laid out for us by the Director Becca Wenger through thorough emails and contact in PlayerSpace.

Truly enjoy seeing the same wonderful staff who make the Y a great, safe place for families.
Thank you!

Our boys love the BB guns and archery. The staff is so kind and helpful at drop off and pick up!!

Our daughter has really enjoyed her time thus far at Camp Saponi. She is always happy and eager to share her day when I pick her up.

The staff members are very accommodating and supportive.
