My daughter comes home from camp each day with stories of fun activities, engaged counselors, and new friends. The program is incredibly organized with excellent communication. I feel like my child is in safe, caring hands while she’s at YMCA camp.

My kiddos loved every minute of it! Aqua zip...alpine tower were great fun! Wish they had a little more planned in case of rain ..something to keep the kiddos more entertained like arts and crafts etc! Also out of 2 weeks my kids only got to do the alpine tower once so they were slightly disappointed with that! But overall a lot of fun will be back next year

My son loves CT. I think its well supervised and that they have so many different activities, its always engaging for him. Over several years of going to camp, i have seen him change from being afraid of the Alpine tower and zipline, to being confident and excited about those challenges. He has made good friends there and i can feel confident thru my workday, that he is fine, and outside and away from the screens and devices that drive me nuts. I am so thankful for CT and I know my child loves it too. Nature, guidance , diversity, exercise. Its great!!!

Love the variety of outdoor activities. I wish they would keep better track of activities and which groups have done/not done certain activities. Just last week my daughters group didn’t get to do alpine tower or canoeing even though their counselor kept telling them they were doing it. (Age 10 group) Her friend in a different group didn’t get to do one of his activities either.

The summer party was not well attended because I believe(after talking with multiple parents) most didn’t know about it until Wednesday night with the email that went out.

This year my daughter has friends attending for several weeks the same dates as her. We have requested they be placed together - but based on experience from last year there is a decent likelihood that her requested grouping with her friends won’t happen. I wish they would accommodate group change if a mix up like this happens. It seems to be met with a shoulder shrug and “we can’t change it now” attitude.

Also would like to hear there is more discipline/consequences for kids who are bullying other kids. Seems like those mean kids just rule the Roost and ruin the fun for the other kids. When families are paying $300-400 a week for a camp experience we would like to feel these concerns are all being addressed.

The counselors are very good and have fun with the kids and seem to have a great rapport. . Connor and Kayla are my daughters favorites!
