As we reflect on another happy summer at our YMCA day camps, we want to celebrate our incredible staff that cared for our campers all summer long. We are thrilled to share some of the positive feedback we received directly from our campers' families.
A big thank you to everyone who contributed to another successful and wonderful summer, and to the families who trusted us with their young people.
"The sense of safety and genuine care for my children was excellent. The best evidence of this was my children asking each afternoon to come back the next day. They made new friends that have lasted all summer. This is so important to me as we are new residents in Lexington and embarking on a new, safe start in life."
"She loved everything. This is her first summer and we are so happy with our camp choice. She has come out of her shell and has grown in her independence."
"Everything! Top notch camp week. My family appreciates all the hard work this staff does every week."
"The kids love everything about camp! Everybody that works there does an amazing job with all the kids! I feel very grateful for the YMCA camp!"
"Our son loved the theme weeks and trip to the movies. The counselors were top notch!"
"My camper is not an extremely expressive child but consistently has a smile on his face when I pick him up. I know he has fun and plays hard, which is a huge win! He's safe, busy, practicing age appropriate peer negotiation skills, and having FUN! Thank you!"
"He just enjoys everything about camp! The counselors are gifted."
"Having a blast with all the staff and playing fun games with them."
"My camper loved how interactive the counselors are with the kids, they help my kid so much!!"
"The effort put in for homemade medals and encouraging trying new sports. My daughter now wants to do golf and archery."
"She truly enjoys her teachers and feels appreciated and acknowledged for her good behavior!"
"Seeing the adults involved with the children and my kids having fun."
"Same staff and fun next year please!"
"My highlight was my child coming home exhausted everyday and so excited to tell me all the things they did. They have made friends and the staff is so nice."
"He came home happy and tired every day with so many cool stories. The staff really went all out for everything. Water days were a blast especially."
"After pick up on the first day my 1st time camper said ‘Summer Camp is GREAT, I want to live there!’"
"My girls love going to camp and enjoy all the activities the staff has planned. They come home talking about their day and all the fun things they did."
