Member Testimonials
My son looked forward to camp every day. There were lots of fun activities, and many staff knew him by name. Great experience!
My experience with the YMCA Summer Camp has been very positive. My daughter has been attending the camp for the past five years, and I have no regrets at all. The staff does a great job keeping the kids engaged and entertained in a safe, structured, and supportive environment.
It’s a very instructional and positive atmosphere. Most of the counselors return year after year, so they’re familiar with the kids, and the children feel very comfortable with them. The program is well-structured yet flexible, which works great for families.
All the activities they have the kids do and the hours
My son is having an amazing experience. Great program and great staff!
My son loves going to camp!
The counselors and all the staff are amazing!
The pioneer camp - is full of different activity and loves the fact they have access to a pool every day.
good activities , good time that camp is open, my son is having a blast and loves his counselors!
My child loves it and can't wait to go to camp every day.
I like how it’s safe and my daughter loves the counselors.
The services and activities offered, the attentiveness and attention to detail and the fun that the counselors bring for the kids!!
I enjoyed the variety of activities for my 2nd grader and 4th grader. The kids were active at the high school and at the Y campus. All of the staff were attentive to the children and courteous to the parents/caregivers.
However, I wish there was clearer signage for where to drop off the kids at the large high school campus - such as signs at the cul de sac pointing toward the cafeteria.
The staff is great, the swimming program is very strong & my son is excited to be there every day.
My son loves it!! He’s always excited to start at camp Pioneer Trails!! I love that the children have both indoor and outdoor experiences.
Sy kid is having fun in a safe friendly environment
Our daughter loves being a C.I.T. It is a great program that teaches important skills and enforces confidence. We wish the C.I.T. program was also available for 16-17 years old too!
The camp counselors are warm and welcoming, which has been huge with my very shy kids! This is the first camp in 3 years they haven’t complained about. We will definitely be back!
The kids get to swim every day including learning how to swim. They learn based on the different classes conducted snd attend field trips. The before and after care is included. The counselors are great and my daughter is having so much fun.
Engaging and enriching experience!!! a happy camper at the end of the season. :)
Staff. You guys are great. You guys make the experience easy. I can tell my son, Perry, is having fun.
Brian the camp director is doing a wonderful job. It is really clear that his leadership is creating a professional and fun environment. Staff seem happy and calm. Kids are having a blast. Brian is also immediately available if any specific issues arise and is a great problem solver.
My kids both love Pioneer Trails. The staff are top notch, the programming is varied and exciting, and they come home tired and happy every day.
My son had a great time with all the activities offered. Staff was wonderful and easy to work with!
My kids had a great first experience at the Pioneers Camp. It was well run and the activities were fun. Thanks!
I love the themes they have every week! They put in a play for all grades!! The counselors are top notch and my son looks forward to attending every year!
My kid loves her counselors
Our son is excited to get on the bus everyday and has had an enjoyable summer camp experience
My kids like the variety of activities and I like the hours for working parents.
I would like more communication about which counselors my kids are with and how their day is structured. My older child is a bit more communicative, but I have a younger child there and he is just learning the ropes. I encourage weekly communication via backpack or email that lists who the counselors for the week are, what we need to know for each age group that week, etc.
Also, there has been some discussion at home about the changing room protocol for boys. Kids need to be given more direction.
That being said, we are enjoying our summer and I have referred other families to the camp. But these communication issues consistently come up among new parents.
Having a great experience so far!
Abhi likes the variety
