All the coaches are great and super supportive, they always think of cool obstacles to makes the kids better athletes. Scott and Jacob do a great job and my kid loves going to classes they teach. It's a great place to get in shape as well, they have classes for kids and adults. Only downside: prices per month... it's $99 month to month or $79 month to month with a year commitment. I know they don't have a choice due to the inflation of everything but it makes it hard to stick around for a really long time unless my kid is very serious about it.

Our daughter went here for 2 years, and then last night a new session was beginning that we signed…read moreup for. I was there about 10 minutes when my 5 year old came to me with tears in her eyes saying the teacher told her she can't be there on Tuesdays and has to come on Mondays. I had to interrupt the two young women who were talking about their day at the front desk to ask what was going on, and they informed me that we signed up for Monday evenings. I said no we have other commitments on Mondays and basically was told, sorry nothing we can do for you. So THEY put the wrong night down and now I have a crying 5 year old that was told to leave class, when it wasn't even her fault. Then they told me that my daughter was there on Monday evening, and showed me the class roster and her name was checked off. She was in a different city taking swimming lessons at the time they said she was there. So for a positive, safe environment that is being talked about in the main page and website, they are pencil whipping the attendance, so they actually have no idea what kids are there or not. As I said we have been spending our money there for 2 years, and now they can't or won't try to fix their mistake. The owner was too busy to come and talk to me when asked to speak to one of them, and I was told they would contact us the following day. Do not trust this place, do not trust them with your child's safety. There are a ton of other better options in the area. Some of the instructors are great, but some are just kids themselves that do not teach the kids anything. Instead of making sure the child was having the best experience possible, they made her feel singled out and like she did something wrong, and trying to explain to a 5 year old that she didn't do anything wrong but was still told to leave class in front of all the other kids is just embarrassing for her. On the bright side, we went to the competitor and were able to sign up for less, and at a more convenient location in a nicer facility.

We had wonderful experiences with a birthday party and 2-day winter break camp here for our 2 kids…read moreand were very excited to attend their summer camps. This ended up being a huge disappointment. One of our kids is neurodivergent, and we explained this fully, including his triggers and medications, in the pre-camp questionnaire. Mid-day Thursday of his camp week we got a call that he had to be picked up due to pulling another camper off a stool. Let me be clear: it was NOT okay for our child to act out physically against anyone and or was completely reasonable for Snapology to have us take him home because of this. The behavior needed to have a consequence and be dealt with for everyone's safety. The issue is when I arrived to pick my child up. The woman who spoke to me was very judgmental, and said that when our child had had challenges and been disregulated "before this" they'd been able to "handle it," but this was too much. I was frustrated and asked about the previous issues. I told her we had not been informed about any previous disregulation or conflict. When I explained that had we known about any issues we could have worked with our child to help understand the situation, discuss and set him up for better choices, and be clear in advance about the consequences if his behavior didn't improve. I was told that they would now tell their staff that was important. Nonetheless, this woman called us later that night and told us she'd spoken to the owner and our child was not welcome back for the final day of camp (with a big project he was looking forward to). The owner himself has never contacted us. Again, I am in no way saying it was acceptable for our child to hurt anyone. It was not. I feel awful that another child suffered because of something our child did. Snapology and its staff, however, did not give us the information or opportunity to work, either on our own or with them, to prevent smaller issues from escalating. We also did not have a chance to follow through on showing our child how to take responsibility for his actions. Had we had the chance, we would have worked with him to write an apology to the other child, apologize in person, and do (more than we already do) serious talking through how to handle frustrations and never hurting anyone else. We also would have tried to connect with the other child's parents. Instead, the owner banned our child without even speaking to us. We won't be returning to Snapology. If you offer summer camps, ask registering parents about kids' medical and emotional needs, and accept those kids into camp you should be prepared to support and communicate about those kids. Everyone could have been safer and had a better experience if Snapology had performed these basic tasks.

We had an extremely disappointing experience at YMCA Day Camp Heritage. My 6-year-old son came…read morehome extremely burnt on several occasions every week despite the fact that we sent sunscreen and requested on multiple occasions to have the camp counselors ensure sunscreen was applied. The director, MacKenzie Erpenbach, is also very unprofessional, angry and irritated with families and children at camp (and a few other staff are as well). But, many were very kind. However, we feel all staff, especially the leaders, should have patience and love working with children if they are in this environment. In addition, my son was also bullied by two children at camp and the camp counselors did not intervene. Only when my son decided to fight back (albeit, physically, which was not appropriate), did the staff step in. When we addressed that bullying was occurring, MacKenzie's response was to ignore this fact, even though getting to the root cause (the bullying) could have prevented my son's reaction. Instead, only my son was asked to go home early and was not allowed to go back to camp the next day. In addition, my son had an individual camper plan which was sent via email and also a printed copy in his backpack. The staff, including MacKenzie (the director), claimed to be unaware of the plan and did not follow the plan once I reminded them of the plan. Many of the counselors there are very sweet and great with the kids. However, unfortunately, the camp needs to have a great director overseeing the camp to see improvement. My advice is to look at other YMCA camps before sending your children to YMCA Day Camp Heritage unless a new director is put in charge.

However, the teachers allowed him to open up and get comfortable in a supportive and encouraging way, and by the end of class he was cuddling up with one of them and chattering nonstop about all of the different equipment.
