It allows me to know that my child is safe while I am at work.

That kids stay most of the time outside and stay active

I love my grandsons teachers.

Seems to be a real range of activities, so something for everyone.

Values taught!! Respect, kindness, etc

The Y has friendly & high spirited counselors & staff. Also the YMCA is a partner in teaching my child good character, civic duty, and life skills. Plus my child really enjoys all the fun songs, sports, arts, and other activities!

I love the screening and handwashing before camp.

I love the different weekly themes . The engagement of children with social distancing in place as much as can be mainted.

I love the enthusiasm of the counselos.

a wide variety of activities

All inclusive and wide variety

Great counselors with good energy and keep the kids busy and engaged all week

Amazing camps that have run smoothly in the covid era and given our son (and family) a sense of normalcy in our routine, activity and socialization level.

My son is enjoying the Edge program and the staff, he likes the nerf war days and the paint wars were awesome. I see him more engaged this summer..shout out to Rashi and Sean, they are really connecting with him and this age group.

My son comes home so happy about his day, and I feel like the protocols the camp team has put into place to keep everyone safe during these times are very good and help to put me at ease.

Outdoor activities (which are especially important during this pandemic).
A great way for my child to socialize with others his age.
I like how they are keeping smaller groups and keeping kids in the same group each day.

The COVID precautions, the organization, the enthusiasm of the staff, my son comes home happy and exhausted and so glad to have spent time with his friends. Ms. Cheyenne has been so cheerful and helpful in the mornings (as has another individual, I just don’t know his name!). We love the communication and reminders and are very thankful for the YMCA.

I trust the staff, if my child has an issue with other kids bullying him, it is addressed quickly. The program fits within my budget. There is a variety of activities. My child is happy when he comes home.

I love everything about it personal is loving and kids enjoy a lot.

The staff is great and it's our second home.

Camp Tuckahoe is a great way for kids to come together safely to socialize, play games, dance and be kids

Keep my child engaged

Our kids have had a great time playing, singing, dancing, and being exposed to a variety of activities. They come home happy and exhausted with lots of stories about their friendships and fun throughout the day. It sounds like there may be a personality clash with one of the counselors (they have expressed that they don’t think one particular counselor likes them and feels like she singles them out a lot which has been upsetting to them) but otherwise it’s all been positive. We plan to be back next summer, hopefully in more normal circumstances!

My child love the variety of games and activities

My daughter loves the swim day and water days! She has learned different sports that she has never been exposed to and met new friends! We will be back next year!

Mostly outside, no screens (except for occasional movie time), new skills (swimming, archery)

I love all the staff there

It keeps my kid active and outdoors, promotes teamwork, and my child seems to really enjoy almost everything she does there.
