What do you like about your West Essex YMCA - Summer Camp experience?

Both of my children are having a great summer! The counselors are all super friendly and engaging with the kids! They are enjoying the clubs (Dungeons and Dragons and Karaoke were a huge hit!). The kids enjoy all the many activities each day and the fun/friendly energy.

Can we please have Dungeons and Dragons again week 5 or 6 with Eric?

The daily ice cream is a fan favorite!

All of the staff is amazing, but a special shout out to: Paul, KiKi, Zach, Johan, Rachel, Eric, Evan, Julian, Sophie, Jamie and Maddie the lifeguard.

What do you like about your West Essex YMCA - Summer Camp experience?

My son is loving swimming every day and the dodge ball type games the most. Also the freedom to follow an interest like he and a friend have been finding rocks and brought a brush and magnifying glass from home to look at the rocks he finds. The lunches I’ve been ordering have been great.

What do you like about your West Essex YMCA - Summer Camp experience?

We are loving the Y camp, our daughter is so happy at super summer. I am also happy to see more pictures posted in the Facebook page. One suggestion is to have one Facebook page per group. Or, maybe use an app like bright wheel so parents can see updates in real time, and perhaps communicate directly with camp counselors.

What do you like about your West Essex YMCA - Summer Camp experience?

My daughter always comes home having had a blast every day. She loves the friends she has made and even wants to stay later to spend more time with them, so clearly, the camp fosters great camaraderie. She loves the counselors and raves about them, especially how supportive they are; she looks forward to seeing them every day. She loves being able to swim every day, which makes sense since we think she's part fish. She loves participating in the camp musical. She begged us not to go on vacation during the eight weeks of camp so she would be able to attend each week in its entirety. I guess you could say she likes it. We'll definitely be back next year.

What do you like about your West Essex YMCA - Summer Camp experience?

This was our first year at Pioneer Trails and our children (10 and 8) had a great time. ALL of the staff were incredibly kind, friendly and energetic! The camp had so many different and exciting activities planned each and every day for the kids, which kept them looking forward to attending camp over the course of several weeks. As a parent, I very much appreciated the counselor to camper ratio and always saw lots of counselors on site.

Thank you so much for an awesome first experience and look forward to coming back next summer!

What do you like about your West Essex YMCA - Summer Camp experience?

YMCA Pioneer Trails Camps is excellent. The staff is very well trained and deeply experienced. There is a tremendous selection of activities for my camper to do, with weekly theme areas such as nature and Olympics to standing activities like archery and pool.

There are two pools so campers get deep swim training and access to fun swim activities.

My daughter loves it. Safe, exciting and adventurous summer program.

STEAM is good too, of course!!!
