Reviews
What are parents saying about Camp Willson:
My kids always love camp and as soon as schools out they start a countdown to camp. They love the activities, games, swimming, horses, crafts, counselors and staff. My children also love the food and the healthy kids club and strive to be a healthy kid at camp, that doesn't happen at home.
This was our first summer in Ohio and our first experience with a YMCA camp. We feel like we hit the lottery! This was a life-altering experience for Madison...she learned so much about herself and what she is capable of doing! The counselors gently pushed her to test her limits, but were supportive when she wasn't ready. When we got to the part where you ask about people at camp "making her feel good about herself", her response was an enthusiastic "Oh, yeah!!" She can't wait for next year!
I have to say how much I appreciated the updates and photos posted on Facebook! I know it is a lot of work but so very reassuring to this first time parent and
