Powered by GoogleI cannot say enough about Tipp. My husband and I are alumni and sent our own kids to camp as soon as the first was able. 5 kids later we have sent ours along with multiple of their friends to camp over the last 20 years. It is a place that can change lives and save lives, where kids are free to be who they are. Every child should be able to experience camp at least once and through the YMCAs generous scholarship program no kid gets turned away for an inability to pay. There's hoops to jump through for it but it's worth it. It's always worth it.
My daughter loved her time and experience here going again this yr she had such a blast and met other great kids and made great memories
My 10 yr old daughter, first time camper, just went for mini camp week. She can't wait to return next year for the full week. She said she felt safe, never boarded, everyone was friendly, and she loved the food. I am a helicopter mom, scared to let her go, but the camp has photos online nightly to show the kids activities which helped me a lot. They also had a rodeo for the horse camp kids on the last day, which we all enjoyed. Staff was great! Recommend for all kids!
