I had 2 daughters there for Discovery week. They really liked certain daily activities but they were only offered once or maybe twice. Allowing them to do more activities that they enjoyed would make their feedback way more positive.
My boys had a great time as first-time sleepaway campers! They loved all of the activities, their counselors were great and they said the food was delicious. They are excited to return!
I liked the activities and the friends I met along the way
My daughter loved her week there this summer and last. Fantastic activities, great kids, fun counselors, gorgeous setting - what more could you want?! She loves that they get to choose their activities. Her overall report was that it's "SO fun." Thanks for running a stellar camp.
This was my daughter's 4th year attending but my boys' first time at BMDC. They had the most amazing time ever. One of my boys fished for the first time and learned that he absolutely loved it while the other explored in nature and loved it all so much that he cried after he got home on the last day because it was over. Even my almost 14 year old had a great time and wishes she was able to go back during the summer. The staff were amazing and easy to work with especially when it came to accommodations for medical concerns. Highly recommend to anyone interested in getting their kids out and about and not sitting around on electronics all summer. This was the real deal, outdoors in the wood experience that teaches kids about nature while creating friendships memories that will last for years to come. BMDC was a hit for this family and the kids cannot wait to go back next summer for even longer!
Great traditional camp vibes! Good Food, clean cabins, wonderful staff
We couldn’t be happier with our first sleepaway experience! Everyone was so kind, welcoming and supportive.
My son really enjoyed the camp. The counselors were fantastic. I think you will see Robert again next year!
Team, facilities, how beautiful, clean and well maintained the place was, all the amenities, food (everything was carefully prepped gluten-free for me & my son!!) and team!! We had an amazing weekend there! Cannot thank whole team enough!
Fairview Lake YMCA Camps offer a wide array of options for families, including recharge weekends for adults. Adults are able to enjoy the activities they like to do without boring the kids. This allows Adults to explore in unique ways, then model the experience of independence with the kids. What makes Fairview Lake YMCA Camp special is the amazing staff who are knowledgeable, friendly, kind leaders who plan and execute activity packed weekends.
Ability to try and learn new things, expand horizons, meet new people. The staff is excellent, caring and committed to positive participant experiences. Cabins are clean, comfortable and spacious, and the food is delicious and fresh. The weekends are very reasonably priced making the programs affordable for all. Bravo!
So much fun being big kids at camp! Great activities, amazing staff, delicious food too!
The people, workshops, and general atmosphere,
It was a fun weekend at a good price point. Lots of activities, opportunities, and learning.
Everyone was so kind, supportive and helpful. Really good food, varied experiences and classes - something for everyone. Third time abd this time I brought both sisters and a best friend .
Adult weekends are great way to unwind, relax, make new friends, gather with old friends and just get away from the hustle and bustle of life . I enjoy most of the programs offered AT WW. There is plenty to do . Maybe adding some new things to the weekend will make it more fun then it is already. Lol
Ymca has changed my sons life completely. Over the past few years of him going he has become more outgoing and has made some great memories he also learned how to swim and found his singing voice. For myself I am completely blown away of how family oriented and family supportive they are. We had run into hard times and instead of them turning us away they reached out and said how can we help you. They never made us feel like we were just another family joining camp. They made us feel like we were family and without judgment. I will forever be grateful to the ymca for being there for us in our time of need and allowing my son to continue to create wonderful memories at camp.
The location is beautiful. So much thought goes into making the events special. The activities are interactive--great memory makers. Love the events and recommend to all in the community.
Great program for women. Many choices of activities. Pretty decent meals. Caring staff
For the women's wellness weekend, I absolutely love the non-judgmental, friendly other people that come there. The staff cannot be matched as well as the food.
Great experience with great staff.
Staff are so friendly and activities are great
Always so much fun! The team does a great job of planning and handling all event logistics - from the welcome at the entrance to check in and the activities, everyone is so friendly.
The staff were wonderful and the whole program was fantastic, packed full of fun activities.
The events, staff and fellow campers create an environment of joy and trust. I always leave emotionally refreshed.
