Camp Sa-Que-Sippi Summer Day Camp Richardson YMCA

My son has been at this camp all summer and we will definitely NOT be coming back. First, the camp is run by very young counsellors (haven’t seen one older adult all summer) who clearly don’t know how to appropriately deal with kids. There is no communication whatsoever. If you don’t notice the small sign upon checkin you may never notice that they’ve changed the schedule. Haven’t gotten a single email
Communication. Also, I had to follow up with the regional camp director because despite being outside in TX most of the day, none of the counsellors had the kids reapply sunscreen. In fact, today was their field trip to Hawaiian Falls and my son comes home burnt to a crisp. Never once did anyone make him reapply sunscreen. That’s kid watching 101! It’s bad. I would not send my kid there if I were you.

Decided to write a review after reading the one from June 2014. My 7yr old also attended this location for 1 week this past summer. With the same experience of «not nice» kids. I noticed on a couple of occasions that the counselors spoke to the kids in a harsh manner. Son also said the food was gross and wanted to take his own. We may check into another YMCA location closer to my office for this year.

My 7 year old spent 1 week there. He didn’t hate it, but he said he he didn’t want to go back. You know a camp is good when they want to go back. His big thing was that a lot of the other campers ‘were not nice’. This comes from a kid who has went to 3 different daycares, two different after school programs and 6 different summer camps, this is the first time he did not like the other children. Not sure if its the kids from that area or the counselors not stopping nasty behaviour. He came home unharmed everyday so I guess it’s not too bad.
