I am not happy with how Corey Brown handled the situation. Nor am I happy with with the "support" this scam of an operation provides.
Summer sports camp i expected to be a better variety of sports. Additionally the availability to choose the sport or activities. If a child doesn't like the sport there should be more options. Basic sports should be basketball, baseball, flag football, volleyball, etc. Once the child is at a green level for swimming would be better if there is more advance swimming or taught other strokes. Maybe get college or high-school captains of teams to properly show the rules, guidelines, and basic of the sport before playing to avoid children getting hurt.
My kids love going to camp. The swim lessons and activities are fun. Getting to meet new friends, hang out with friends from previous years, and seeing friends from school that they otherwise wouldn’t have seen over the summer. Miss Melissa and the other counselors are great with the kids. I love picking them up and hearing about the different activities they did, new friends they made, and memories they created. It’s a great camp!
Easy to communicate with. Answer all questions. Friendly and kind.
My son comes home excited about the activities he participated in and he is exhausted from being so active all day.
I love this camps counselors and staff! They are always friendly, responsive and organized. My kids enjoy going to camp and always have fun!
I have not received the sibling discount for my children and the lady who is in charge of billing has not responded to my emails requesting it be corrected.
Coaches are great, well organized, everybody is nice and helpful, Im so happy my son learned how to swim so fast
The staff, convenience, and activities all make it a great camp.
There are alot of activities for my kiddos to do.
My son is loving sports camp.
My daughter loves going and see her friends she has made and the staff she loves everyone who works at the Y. She is always excited to go. And she squeals every the staff opens her door to get out. We are very happy with the Y and the we love the staff.
The staff, the having the kids outside as much as possible. The continuous activities
The camp counselors are great from what I hear from my daughter. The people behind the scenes and organizing everything do not return calls or emails and just asssume a question asked is confirmation that your child is doing something. Communication with the parents is a fail and I would not recommend anyone to a place where emails and calls go unanswered or returned for more than 3 to 4 days. Let a lone 18 to 20 days.
its very stressful when items are missing and they are labeled. I sent an email that an item was missing told it was nowhere to be found i asked to check the lost and found and there is the labeled bathing suit I asked for a copy of schedule of what does on during the day. No response Alot a hiccups persay this year
My kids have had a great time since their first day. This is there first summer at camp and it has been very easy for us as parents. Thank you!
My son only went for a week so far this summer but he seemed to have a good time and the staff were all very nice.
My daughter has a blast. The price is reasonable.
The new friendships and memories my kids are making! They come home everyday with a new story to tell or talk about a new friend they've made!
The staff at the Sussex County YMCA is fantastic! The summer program is packed with fun activities to keep the kids busy and engaged. My son loved the experienced!
The counselors are all engaging, very nice and very helpful. My kids actually enjoy going to this summer camp which has not been our experience in the past (other camps). Just wish it was a bit more affordable.
My son seems to enjoy the activities and the program is organized.
more outside time for the kids during the day.
I think for the kind of $$ it costs for any camp, you can do something better so they are not carrying their backpacks all day...find a spot for them to leave their things for the day. Lockers, anywhere, so they can lay there stuff down and have fun for the day.
I like that the kids are outdoors and experiencing different activities each day. I like that swim lessons are included everyday. My kids have all provided feedback that they're tired at the end of the day but I think that means they've been kept busy!
My boys are having such a great time. The staff, and the counselors are incredible, personable, and they ensure that the kids are having a good time! Great activities for the kids.
Staff are super friendly and helpful
The Sussex YMCA summer camp is the best!
The counselor ‘s are so friendly and all Smiles at drop off and pick up . They are fantastic with communication and let you know how your child is doing . The warm feelings as they greet the children is just amazing . I feel so safe and no worries leaving my child there at camp .
My kids are LOVING their first year at summer camp at the Y! I love how active they are, learning how to swim and trying new things!
The fun schedule planned for the kids and how they keep them busy all day. It's a win! Also the staff is wonderful
The whole program runs so smooth! From morning drop off, to daily activities, to pick up. Everything is geared towards the children and their safety! My daughter comes home and is wiped out! She looks forward to going to the ymca everyday. She enjoys the activities, the staff is very friendly and GREAT with the kids! I wouldn't want to send my children anywhere else for the summer!
The camp is great. People are nice and activities seem to be good. The administration has me frustrated. It is difficult to choose the right options for camp when the children may not be there everyday. End up paying for a bunch of days which are planned to not need camp.
My son really enjoyed his time at camp. He will definitely be back next year.
Lovely experience for my son this summer!
Thank you for an awesome summer.
My son had a great time at camp. He made lots of new friends. His swimming def improved while he was there too.
My daughter was excited to go back every morning!
My son was afraid to go to camp. He now loves it. Feels extremely comfortable there. Made new friends even though he is shy. The counselors know his name when he gets out of the car. We love it.
I love that all the staff is so friendly! As soon as we pull up for drop off , they are all smiles and know your child by car/name and welcome them each day as if it were their first day. My child is learning to swim everyday in camp and she comes home with such pride each day. I will definitely be sending her every summer going forward!
My boys 8 & 6 have had an incredible time! They can't wait to go back. From the kids, activities throughout the day to the staff, they are delighted to being part of the camp!
I put my grandson in camp for a few weeks to give him something to break up the summer, since there are not too many kids in his neighborhood. In my experience as an educational leader in a local county school, I had heard that the Y had good programs. After listening to the virtual meeting, it seemed like it would keep him busy with activities, swimming swimming lessons, arts and crafts and fun all day. To date, he has been there for 2 weeks; Week one, the pool was only available for 2 days, as there were thunderstorms in the area and understandably they wanted to be kept safe, but there didn't seem to be any plan for replacement activities. That week also he came home with 2 coloring pages and when asked what he did, he said..."not much...". PS he is 7 and it doesn't take much to entertain him. Week 2 was not much different, as a matter of fact it was a tye dye themed week, and he was excited thinking there would be some fun crafts, but sadly they didn't even tye dye with the kids...Swimming was 2 times again and he told me that they played a game of soccer one day and a card game another... disappointing at best for a 6hr day That week, he didn't want to go on Friday, so we didn't make him. He is scheduled for a third week, and quite honestly I would hope that it would be better, but I am not anticipating much change or possibly even him attending. My grandson is one of the most easy going, low key, kind kids that you will ever meet. He really did not need to go to camp, but we wanted to give him something different to do with kids his age, rather then his younger siblings. Unfortunately, and just personally if I were leaving my child at the camp for the entire summer, because I had no other options, I would be very disappointed that no one could plan a continuum of better activities for the kids and for the cost Although the staff seemed friendly at drop off and pick up, it is clearly evident that this is just a job, rather than a fun camp experience.
I love that everyone knows my son so I feel confident that he will be taken care of there.
My family has been very happy with the YMCA Summer Camp experience. We have been sending our kids for 6 years now and have been very happy with the activities, swim lessons and sports that are offered. The councilors have been great over the years and my girls have made friends with them and other campers throughout the years. This is the first year for my youngest daughter who just finished Kindergarten and she has loved camp thus far. She's loving all the activities club time offer and swimming in the pool is her favorite.
The options for the kids to do new and interesting things all summer long.
friendly staff, various activities, having outsiders come in (i.e. police dogs, firetrucks), quick response time from staff.
All staff from YMCA are always so helpful & engaging.The staff communicates very well with any suggestions & concerns. My kiddo is in her 3rd year attending summer camp, and always looks forward to attending, her favorite thing to do at camp is swimming & archery! Excited for another year to come!
The camp is amazing and the staff are caring and nurturing!
The kids love it. The staff is amazing!
What a great experience, the only negative is that I did not sign up my son for longer. We will definitely be returning all summer long! The camp was instructional, had amazing clubs each day and the swim instruction was awesome!
