Loving, inclusive and nurturing environment for our kid. We are so grateful to Y staff, amazing Creative Theatet crew led beautifully by Ms. Gail.

Communication was amazing, overall fantastic. Structure of first assignment, basketball camp could have been improved. No drills or organzied BB, too much free play not enough for CITs to do. Third we at YKnots was awesome as was prep week.

This is our 3rd year with the camps. If this would have been our first year we would not be back. The communication during camp was late and confusing. There were never any pictures posted. The trips were not engaging. We were there for the first 2 weeks and the trips got better after she left. I understand that there are not a lot of campers the first 2 weeks but you still need to engage them.

The way camp is split up meant that my almost 11 year old was with kids who were younger. To an almost 11 year old, a 9 year old is completely different and a little kid. She was annoyed that she wasn't surrounded by peers. She asked on day 2 if she had to go back. This is a kid who loves camp and is currently at a different camp and loving it.

I am happy she can't do Discovery again and we will look into Theater or the Teen camp next year. Discovery for the older kids needs more. It is great for the younger kids. Maybe different trips, maybe a different program. I don't know but I do feel like I wasted 2 weeks worth of camp fees this year.

Easy, fun, and affordable, with extended hours that make it one of the only local options for working parents. Thank you! I don’t know what we would do without the Y!

One very small piece of feedback as my daughter's experience in theatre camp is always great! The day of the show, it would be great if all kids could stay at camp so there is less back and forth. Willing to pay $25 or whatever it would cost just for this one day of "aftercare" built in. It seemed stressful for the counselors to also have to shuttle kids in and out.

Ms. Nicole Josey ran an amazing Summer Discovery Camp with tons of detailed info before leading up to the weeks and during and even after. I loved the variety of offerings throughout the week that covered everything from community service to stem to social emotional learning. Wish we were doing this the entire summer now!

My son was excited to go to camp every day and can't wait to return next year. He is very into sports, and the fact that camp got him into something else (theater) was so great.

Theater camp session 3 was great!

Great follow up. Attentive counselors. On top of their campers!

Trips

The camp was engaging. It offered a good blend of academics and fun. Our kids were able to make new friends and continue to learn and explore during the summer.

Communication; minimizing swim cancellations; notifying parents of scheduling changes sooner

I was impressed with Omar and summer discovery camp. Griffin had a wonderful time thank you!

The counselors and leadership care deeply about the kids and make sure they have a stellar time.

The camp counselors and leaders are awesome. My daughter really enjoyed the camp.

The counselors were great and interacted well with my child and I could tell really cared about the kids. As a long time Y family, we have lots of good things to say about the Y and previously would always wholeheartedly recommend it as a great place to friends and family. The reason I wouldn't recommend more strongly now is because of the disorganization we experienced this summer, especially the first few weeks, which created a lot of extra work and stress for the parents. Lots of items going missing (even though everything meticulously labeled), or wrong items being sent home. This did improve as the summer went on though.

the counselors are SOOO smily and sweet. I love that my kids spend the day with that energy.

My kid loves the field trips!

The staff is so welcoming and friendly! My daughter can be a bit shy at first, but she's really jumped into camp this summer and has been having a great time. She's excited to go to camp each morning and it's been great to see her having such an awesome time.

- Space out snack time to be after lunch time

The trips are great! The kids have a lot of fun and it's age appropriate. The only piece of feedback I'd have is it would be so great to find a way to have the kids swim on Tuesdays and Thursdays locally, without swim caps. I'm certain that you've tried to sort this out before and there are a host of reasons why it never has worked out. But I'll just reiterate that if we could continue to work on working it out, I think it would make such a difference.

Consistency in formatting of information with the different camps would be extremely helpful. The various emails, links and website information is confusing, and some information was not accurate. The address for dropoff camp was not correct and I had to call the main office to get the correct location.

The costs of these camps are getting much higher while what you get at these prices have remained the same or even decreased. We will find alternative summer camps next year.

Some Concerning things each week -they had camper walk around camp shoeless 1130-3 when they knew she had shoes and she was sent to camp in shoes. Last week they lost their first aid kit and another little boys Epi one, a week or so before that a little girl wasn't fed her lunch to at her parents ordered through simply gourmet, and her parents were never called about it - no one thought to ask why she didn't have lunch but they fed her clementines for lunch instead. Meanwhile her lunch sat outside the classroom in her cubby, because no counselors in the class asked . Just to mention a few concerns

The location is close to home. Great communication with the staff.
