YMCA Camp on the Lake

Sent our kids here, they loved it, especially the archery!

I tried to work with them on changing a drop off location over a week before the camp started and or dropping off picking up my child when ever it was available they didn’t want to work with me. Only wanted the money for my camper. No refund no transfer no help no customer service no camp my child. Horrible experience.

I went here as a child and now send my two kids every summer. My youngest LOVES it. It's a great way for him to spend his summers. In the few times I've had an issue or concern during the past 4 summers that my kids have been going here, the counselors and directors have handled it professionally and expeditiously. We really love this camp. :)

My son started this week. 1st day was full of activities. Had fun!! I'll review again in a follow up. So far, so good!!

While I like that my child had the opportunity to do many things that he enjoys, there are serious problems at this camp. Supervision: kids are left unsupervised at times and that has led to issues between kids. I get staff have to put stuff away, but that's when you get your group with another group for a moment and have that staff member watching them. Positive behavior reinforcement. I am very much a realist and view responsibility as something that each individual has for their own behavior, BUT I hold adults to a higher standard than children. Staff should set the example of the behavior they wish to reinforce. If you are going to use positive communication and behavior reinforcement then use it, don't belittle and verbally assault a child and expect a child to roll with it. Safety: The stories parent's hear... A camp counselor shot another counselor with a dull tipped arrow. The counselor who got shot then threw that counselor in water and shot him back... I am all for rough housing and having fun, but I know the YMCA isn't, schools aren't and so the example being set is terrible. If you take all of that away, it's a decent-ish camp, with kids who will bully each other (even though that is also against the rules), but hopefully most kids have fun.
