My daughter loves the camp at the Y! They are active all day, have fun, swim daily too and the field trips are fun, different and educational. The perfect summer experience

My son enjoys his time there. He has asked to stay later. Hanging with friends and trips!

Even on the hottest days, the counselors were ready with appropriate activities for the campers.

This was my first time having my 8yr old son attend the YMCA. He had such a blast he can’t wait to continue to attend summer camp at the YMCA!

I think the summer camp can communicate better with the campers parents.

Kids did not look forward to attending, poor communications compared to other camps, limited facilities.

Sharing Bridgewater Camp Timber with Somerville making it extra crowded and uncomfortable for the whole summer was a huge disappointment. When it rained (thunder/lightening), kids were stuck under the pavilion getting splashed because Somerville kids were inside squished in tiny room or balcony over pool. We had no time to consider alternatives when this was announced (the Friday before summer camp started)--highly unprofessional. Kids were forced to stay outside without easy access to water/hydration--dangerous when it's over 100 degrees. Lastly, kids were looking forward to putting on the talent show, some even bringing in instruments, when it was canceled same day with no explanation. I was very disappointed in how things were run this year. I'd have a hard time considering sending my kids there next year. I carpooled with other families and know my sentiments are shared with them.

That they keep the kids active the entire time at camp

After loving it for a few years, my daughter stopped enjoying the camp. She said the activities were repetitive and she did not like being outside all day as the temperatures are regularly in the high 80's-90's these days. She loves the field trips though and never misses one.

The Wednesday field trips should be available for all campers if you're going to have them. To limit to 35 kids when there are over 90 kids doesn't seem right. If staffing is the issue, then take more staff from camp that oversee the kids at the camp and allow them to also go on the field trip. Promoting the fun experience so much on updates and through the app when over 50% of kids can't go due to registration limitations, is upsetting and should be handled differently.

Everything is great. Just wish there was a way to have communication with counselors when needed.

This year's counselors have been unprofessional and rude, to both campers and parents.

The counselors are amazing!

Friendly counselors, regular communication with parents, photos from the day, optional field trips. Pizza Fridays.

The field trips are great and the perfect way to break up the week. Pizza Fridays make lunch easy for me one day a week. My kid loves the program. She has made great friends and connections with counselors.

Possibly offer cooling stations and outdoor refrigeration for campers lunch/snacks

Camp counselors and staff are wonderful. My children are thrilled to go to camp every morning. Thank you for providing a fun and safe environment.

The kids have a lot of differnt activities,my son loves that.

I love that the children are active and outside the majority of the day. Swim lessons are a huge reason why we choose the Y and field trips are a great bonus.

My daughter participated in only one week of camp, unfortunately it was the last week. The staff did not treat her well at all, annoyed she didn't know what to do. She was yelled at for not having the colored shirt for the trip - when she was never given one. She was told they wouldn't do a swim test on her bc it was the last week so she had to swim with the littlest kids and made her wear a life jacket. She's 10.5yo and was so embarrassed she left the pool crying.. and again was yelled at for that. My daughters personal review was “the counselors are all grumpy bullies and I never ever ever want to go back there".

The counselors were great. My son enjoys all the activities. This is our 2nd year at Camp Timber. This year was better in that there were fieldtrips that were more than just going to Kidstreet Park.

My kids love Camp Timber! The games are fun, swimming makes us happy, and the counselors do an excellent job of keep it fun and watching out for the kids.

Kids signed up as counselors in training and haven't learned a thing other than babysitting.

Great summer camp!

I liked the program, but I do wish they offered alittle more. However, I understand that the facility can only offer so much. I also felt communications were inconsistent. I think a lot of the reminders should have been within emails rather than the GroupMe App.
