Quotes from Y Camp Moms (and Dads)

Following our historic Grand Opening year at YMCA Camp: Horsethief Reservoir, we asked Y Camp Moms (and Dads) a question: In what ways do you feel our Resident Camp program was a worthwhile experience for you and your child?

The responses were amazing — and show just how Y Camp is positively the best way to change someone's life.

TODAY'S QUOTE:

"Resident Camp was a worthwhile experience for my child because he got to be on his own for five nights and take care of his own basic needs. Independence is a good thing for a 9-year-old boy!"

Want to know what parents of past campers have to say about Y Camp? Read this sampling of Quotes from Y Camp Moms (and Dads) we compiled after 2010’s historic Grand Opening year at Horsethief:

“My son had an amazing time at camp. He got to know more kids and was able to make decisions on his own and be a bit more independent — but with great adult supervision.”

“It was her first time at camp, and she came back more confident and self-assured.”

“This was her first opportunity to be away from her parents and grandparents, her first real opportunity to be responsible for herself. She came home a little more grown up.”

“It was her first time away for an extended period (more than one night). She seemed proud of her independence and thoroughly happy with the experience. She made friends, had fun and learned a few new things.”

“He was excited about attending, and as equally excited when he returned telling me about his experiences — and had a form in hand to register for next year’s camp!”
