YMCA Camp Cristina

My kid loves this camp so much she talks about it almost all the time since she's so excited to go there. She says they have the best activities, like gaga ball, 9 square, zipline, and more. She always likes doing horse camp the best since she says she gets to connect with the horses, ride them, trot, be a helper like walking the horses, putting them back in their stalls, taking off their equipment and just in general bathing, and painting. Other than the horse camp she loves swimming and just hanging out with her friends at camp. She likes it when they do the introduction every day, and all the dancing and chants. Even regular camps are so fun to do since you can do so much also like archery, soccer games, pool, court, trails, and so much more. The counselors are so nice and helpful every day and so much fun. The themed weeks are even cooler. Overall, this camp is so exciting and adventurous for any kid I hope my daughter continues to love it and come back each year.

Horrible communication and very poorly run summer camp. Emailed multiple times, called and left voicemail. Couldn’t be bothered to respond but they did cancel my son’s registration. Showed up to camp with an excited child but they turned us away due to their error and poor communication. Worst part was Megan in the office who had an attitude instead of trying to help solve the problem. Megan couldn’t solve it but miraculously Dave could when it was too late. If you need a reliable camp, do not go here! Staff should be much better to trust your children with them.

Okay swimming pool, sometime it had weird stuff in it but it was nicely heated in the winter, only problem was the disgusting bathrooms

Excellent first camp experience for my 14y/o daughter who has extreme anxiety and is homeschooled so she doesn’t get a lot of social interaction. This was an excellent place for her to meet other kids her age and experience the world in a safe environment.

My child has done numerous activities at camp Christina and he’s gone to the summer camp a couple times. We’ve had an okay experience most times. My son did not have a great experience here the last time he participated in the summer program. He was not favored so everything he did was wrong or had to be his fault without explanation. It was so bad the issue went all the way up to corporate because the Director accused my son of purposely harming another student and he did not. Corporate did absolutely nothing to the director, but say “training” would be given, and my son was removed from the program by my request. After the director apologized the gentlemen said that he could stay, but after everything that had happened, I didn’t trust them so I removed him from the program. There was prejudice and bias and it was a couple years ago but that kind of culture just doesn’t shift. I told them that I had a recording of a conversation that I had with the Director about the incident and they said not only did they not care but I “couldn’t share” the video with anyone and that is fishy.

Absolutely horrible communication. Our group camped there recently. Our group was made to feel like we we imposing on them. The bathrooms all were either broken or unusable. The camping facilities have not been taken care of at all. Trash throughout the camp sites. Management communication was extremely poor. Calling us the morning of our scheduled use of the zip line to tell us it was out of order after pushing back our time scheduled twice during the week. Suspicious circumstances at best. Be very wary if you decide to take your youth group here.

My daughter has attended Camp Cristina for the past 4 years. She always has so much fun and exciting new experiences. I love that she’s outdoors and being creative rather than spending the summer on her electronics. She meets a new bestie each week and remains friends after the week is over. The staff is very professional and provide lots of fun for the campers. I feel very safe with leaving my daughter in their care. Can’t recommend Camp Cristina enough.
