YMCA Camp Chingachgook

★N.

First off, my son did have a wonderful time at the camp so no complaints there. However, he did bring back bedbugs. Ultimately had to pay $1000's of dollars to eradicate them with multiple treatments, replacing his mattress and box springs, and washing over 20 loads of laundry (clothes, bedding, stuffed animals). It was an absolute nightmare! Would not recommend until they start treating and monitoring for these types of things. I see other complaints about bed bugs as well.

I went here this summer at day camp with my friend and we stayed at my friends grandparents house. I had been missing my family so much! I was crying a lot and Emmy the best helped me so much! Meagan was all so the best .

My son has been attending for 6 summers… definitely a happy place. Diverse group of counselors and dedicated staff! He gets to learn, lead, and explore! Worth every penny.

Last year when I went the camp was great! The senior canins were nice and big free. I’m going next week so hopefully it’s the same! Btw I am petrified of bugs. The junior cabins didn’t look all that great. I don’t really know though I didn’t go inside them. The bathrooms have the same old common house spiders but they weren’t all that big. My huge huge gripes about this camp is the drinking water and the sports fields. The drinking water here is TRASH. DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT DRINK IT. I drank the water once and it gave me a bad sore throat and I didn’t feel well the rest of the day and that was only from one sip. Luckily, one of my cabin mates had bottles of water and I got some but for a price. The sports fields like the baseball and soccer fields are dirt and not really well kept. The baseball field does not have balls and good gloves so you probably should bring your own. I did not take soccer but the grass on the field looked overgrown and dirty. The councelers and CIT’s are nice. I had the best one last year. Overall, the camp was great and I’m going again, gladly. Strongly recommend, just DONT DRINK THE WATER. Okay, just went for my second time. Spiders: bad Water: worse. Somebody took a big dump and clogged the toilet so we couldnt use the bathroom or drink camp water for a day I made 50 bucks selling my waters. Overall it was a good time. Same as last time. still 4 stars.

I am sure overnight camp is thrilling and great. I have two children who have attended day camp, three years apart. Both children were disappointed (and are very different children). Activities weren't that of that overnight is and most recently the age gap in most campers to my child resulted in behavior management that had a discrepancy as well as small things like limited swim area to appease the masses. Camp partially refunded us (as my child would not go back) but I would hope a better plan can be made to have a robust day camp as well as better planning for age ranges and allowing more participation for "older" children.
