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!
My son absolutely loved his time at camp. He always felt safe, cared for, and came home each day so happy. One of his favorite parts was getting to fish daily—it was such a highlight for him. Overall, it was a wonderful experience that we're so grateful for.
Blue Mountain Day Camp offers lots of opportunity to enjoy the outdoors and try new activities. The staff is always friendly and do a great job. I love the emphasis on engaging with one another which does not happen often in the world of technology we live in.
The experiences. The fact that my child spends all days outdoors pending few exceptions (downpours and thunder). It's not a place to send my kid to be watched but instead a place to send my kid to experience real camp experience minus the sleepaway part. Only reason I can't rate it all the way, is the cost is a bit on the high side especially when including the busing. And if you are applying this cost across multiple children, it can become very pricey for a family. Otherwise we have loved everything so far about the camp and appreciate all that the counselors and staff do.
The staff and facilities are remarkable
We love BMDC! If we lived closer my daughter woild go for more sessions. Love the setting, staff, activities.
the camp was amazing, the activities are amazing, counselors and staff in general amazing... I love that my kid comes home full of stories, tired and content.
I loved all the outdoor activities and the lack of technology. Every night my camper came home with a story of Pally the horse or building a fort.
My kids have smiles on their faces when I pick them up. They seem to be liking it.
I love everything--the dedicated staff who go above and beyond, the choice of activities, the twice a day swimming. My kids have thoroughly enjoyed their experience this summer at Blue Mountain Day Camp.
I really wish there were tennis lessons offered, would be willing to pay extra for them. It's unfortunate that there are courts but the kids cannot learn to play.
Nothing. We are pleased.
What a fantastic camp experience for Harlow! She was thrilled with the diverse activities and developed a wonderful bond with her counselor. It was such a positive time that she's already counting down the days until she can go back!
There are so many great outdoor activities. My child has been excited every day to go to camp. I have never seen him this excited.
Our son LOVES going to camp here. The campus is beautiful, the staff is kind and competent, and the activities are fun. This was his third year, and we look forward to him continuing his BMDC experience each year, as he grows.
This camp is wonderful. My son looks forward to the 2 weeks he goes here each summer. Can't wait until next year!
My kids love it!
My daughter has been going to this camp for 4 years now. She looks forward to going to camp every year! She meets new kids every year and has some returning friends she gets excited to see again. The camp counselors are great and have made each summer memorable for my daughter. So thankful for the opportunity my daughter has to learn and explore every day at camp.
This is the first year we have tried blue mountain day camp for our 3 boys and it is awesome. So many fun activities for them and keeps them busy and excited to try new things. Would recommend 1000% percent…we will be back next year! Thank you YMCA!
The best camp EVER!
My daughter is thriving! I really appreciate how well the staff handled the hot weather last week. I also love that they keep on top of her needing sunscreen - she's a busy kid and its not always easy to get her to pause and reapply - they are masters at it! Can't wait for a full summer of fun!
My grandson is attending and is having the time of his life. He will be 13 in July and is so so happy at your camp. He even tells me all about it, I usually get "it was great." Not this time, he talks and talks about his day!!
Staff are excellent! Son is tired!
My daughter is one week in and several more to go enjoying summer camp at Blue Mountain Day Camp. The staff is great and attentive. The daily communication from the camp director to all camp families is very well accepted. You can tell C. Koch loves what she does and in doing so helps ease parents minds that our children are safe, well cared for and having fun. I'm happy to be able to give my daughter this experience and we look forward to the remaking weeks of the summer and years to come!
