Member Testimonials
My daughter experienced Camp Evergreen for the first time this year. She came home exhausted, covered in a film of dirt and grim and SUPER excited to share her day adventures! This was such an amazing 2 weeks!!! Her interactions with counselors and other campers was always positive.
Thanks you to all the staff and volunteers for all you do to make camp such a great experience!!!
The kids really loved it and learned how to swim and get their green band in a short amount of time. Few things to make this go from a 9 to a 10 would be possible doing a field trip (maybe a different y camp) or offering food options (hard to pack something for multiple weeks that can’t be refrigerated).
My son Levi had a great time! He is not the most social person, but looked forward to camp every day and came home happy. Communication from the camp is great, and I wish I had started both my kids when they were little!
My kids absolutely loved it. They also loved their counselors. I’d like to especially note how great Jane was with my daughters. She made them feel very comfortable! We did the before care and that was also very helpful and well run. Looking forward to enrolling in more weeks next summer!
Clean facilities. Friendly staff.
Love the staff and all outdoor time.
Where to improve: Refund policies for Camp Evergreen were not clear before registration opened.
Everything. Variety of activities. Friendly fun staff.
I appreciated that it was a well rounded experience, with nature learning and sports. it would be nice to have had a calendar with field trips water days and theme days laid out, and a welcome letter prior to starting to go over what to send the child with. Mia loved it and had a great time!
Staff
I enjoy the Yoga classes in particular. The facility is well maintained, clean and the staff is friendly. I also like that the Y is family friendly. Thank you!
Counselors were very personable with the kids making them comfortable. Great communication and relation among staff that brings out positivity.
Communication with First name removed and the Camp Counselors (Mark, Sam, etc...) was consistent and helpful
The overall structure of the camp is great and keeps my 6 and 9 year old engaged all day. They have good experiences with all of the camp staff and made friends to varying degrees throughout the summer. Communication from the camp is good and especially appreciated the quick email updates from the nurse when my children visited.
My son’s first time at camp and he loved it! Did session 2 and 3 and was upset he wasn’t doing session 4. He is already looking forward to next summer!

Fun camp for the kids in my area
My daughter loved her session at Camp Evergreen. The staff was very friendly and encouraging. My daughter liked the spirit building activities like the Thunderbird and cheers. She enjoyed swimming, boating, archery, rock wall, and the ropes course. She also liked when they gave awards to kids and adults. Thank you for providing a wonderful experience for her. She is looking forward to next year!
It is a great summer camp experience, a traditional summer camp without the kids having to be gone overnight. My daughter absolutely loves being able to swim, meet new friends and the friendly competitions
Kids spend most of the day outside.
The staff! We miss the horses
The kids had an awesome summer and adored their counselors. Our "coyote" camper (Iris) stayed motivated all summer to maintain the summer camp spirit everywhere she went. We saw a level of positivity and teamwork from her that we've never quite experienced and are so grateful to the staff for the incredible impact they had on her this summer. It was also really wonderful to see our kids bond over their experience at Evergreen with all the stories, friends, activities, various games/challenges and events. Many core memories were made this past summer. Thank you!
The kids love the daily swim sessions. Art camp is a huge success. My son can’t wait to attend next year. As a working mom, I really appreciate the extended hours and the ease of picking up and dropping off children. The kids are extremely engaged and the various activities keep them entertained. They like to be picked up close to the end of extended care to enjoy time with their friends. The counselors are so friendly. The only downside is the stress of registration when you have multiple kids. It worked out this year that my daughter was able to get off the waitlist, but it was a stressful few months waiting. We went to another camp for a week and she said the Y was so much better!!!
Our son is 5-years old and entering Kindergarten. This was his first Summer experience at the YMCA camp. He is a somewhat shy, hesitant, and anxious kiddo and he loves going each day! I wish there was a camp, even if it was once a month, for adults to play and do fun activities, ha-ha.
Each year, my children have THE BEST time at Camp Evergreen. The staff is unbeatable and very inclusive. They are fun, upbeat and happy! My children love the variety of experiences that they can be involved in at camp. They also really enjoy being able to participate in the overnights. Dom has done an incredible job. My children are already talking about going for more than just two sessions next year!
The counselors, activities, experiences, positive reinforcement and structure are so incredibly beneficial for our kids. We love the Northwest YMCA camp and will continue to send our kids year after year!
I love the pool area - it is very clean and well maintained. The locker rooms are likewise clean and well kept.
My son had an awesome summer, and I really saw him grow a lot more independent and fun loving throughout. Dom and the staff she put together were awesome!
My daughter loved camp.
Very positive atmosphere and staff.
