Great camp program and great staff

Lots of diversity in programs offered.

My daughter enjoyed making new friends and got along with the staff great. She was treated fairly and no bullying occurred at this location.

My 5 year old had a great day every day! Live that he's outside exploring most of the day!

Swim lesson every day (except Friday)!
One suggestion for improvement: kids bring gear/towels/suits labeled with their names but there is no effort to return it to the kids even though their names are on it. The lost and found bins were full of items labeled with our camper and other campers’ names while they were still participating in the program. Huddle supervisors could easily return labeled items to the campers. Just a suggestion; we wouldn’t send in anything we weren’t prepared to lose.

My son came home every day from camp happy and tired! I loved that the Y had swim lessons included in camp. I also felt like the counselors were so fun and energetic. The family nights were also a nice bonus to see what he does at camp. My son will definitely be back next year!

great team

My son has loved going to camp at Shady Grove Y this summer! He comes home happy and tired every day!

Very organized. On time. Many games for kids. Kids meet new friends

We love our way. We love the programs, the people, the cleanliness at the facility, the positive attitude toward the kids. Every experience we’ve had at the Y has been just wonderful.

My daughter and I love everything! Firstly I know my daughter is safe and in a good environment with people I can trust. Mr. Tony does an impeccable job when finding the right people to hire who uphold the values and expectations of the YMCA. As always I've experienced firsthand the safety, morals, fun, and positive growth environment provided for the children. My daughter who once was afraid of the water now loves swimming and has learned multiple swimming moves. My daughter is ecstatic when she shows me the art projects that she brings home. Every dress-up day makes it feel like a holiday for the kids adding to the joyousness of the day at the Y. Oddly enough even with all of the children everyone can still find all of their lost things, it's small but I'm still very impressed with that. Mr. Tony will even go out of his way to help find missing important things to the the children which is so cute! I could never give an accurate description that would mirror the positive life-changing experience we have had with the YMCA. Every time I think of my blessings in life the YMCA is always one of them.

My son is 5 years old and he attended 3 weeks of camp. His personality bloomed within the first week! We are VERY happy with the experiences he was able to have at camp. He always said he had fun, and came back to us dirty and eyes sparkling, which is good! Also all the teachers I interacted with were very nice, friendly, easy going and very informative when I had questions. I always asked my son if he liked the teachers to check in, and he always said yes.

The children love it! The counselors are professional and there are lots of activities for the children.
