Kindergarten field trip, what a great way to unleash your inner child! I think the adults had more fun than the kids. Thanks for the memories!

★★★★★Owen Behrens

This camp is awesome I have been going here for 10 years and I’ve never had a single problem. I can’t wait to go back!

★★★★★Jon Clark

Our kids enjoy Camp Christmas Tree thoroughly. It is an outdoor experience, and they get hot and often dirty but they have never complained except when it rains all day (which is rare). Many options for the 'theme' of camp week by week, but it fills up fast! Highly recommended.

Kyla review is Fake. What do you expect with a camp? Kids are snow flakes and need to stay home all day is what it sounds like to me. Camps don't have air conditioning maybe only the mess hall or important buildings. I've had to go camp in tents in the summer at scout camp and i did not mind it. Christmas tree is great.

My own kids went to camp Christmas tree for 2 weeks each, they come home crying everyday due to the camp, I have heard bathrooms/changing rooms, all buildings and shacks, are extremely dirty, not cleaned in the slightest. The heat takes a toll on campers as well, walking in the heat ALL DAY long, and only being able to swim for around 20 minutes and getting out of the lake very occasionally. If you are reading this and your children want to go/go to horse camp, don’t let them go, the horses are EXTREMELY abused there, being beat by sticks when being slightly disobedient by all the horse camp workers, who only do it for the money. My opinion, each building should have air conditioning for the campers sake. If you are reading this, for your kids sake, don’t sign them up into this camp, or any ymca camp, my suggestions are anything but ymca camps for obvious reasons.
