[quote=Anonymous]The Reston Y camps are ok. DS enjoyed most of the camps he went to as long as they were outside and involved running around. As a parent, communication was awful, there was no real structure, and I am not sure how well supervised anything was. Last year they were renovating the Y so the kids were at a different location and the rooms that were used for weather were far too small for the number of kids. And they didn’t anything that the kids could do indoors for the rain and heat days. The Traditional Camp at Reston Y has been universallly panned by every family I know who did it.

The camp crowd I know in the Herndon/Reston area seem to prefer Overtime Athletics and Reston Association summer camps. A bunch use Tae Kwon Do camps and the like with a good deal of success.

The Reston Y Counselors are good people and care about the kids but the camps are not well coordinated.

Like I said, my child enjoyed them. He spent all day running around, playing games and in unstructured play. He was safe, he liked his counselors and had a great time. The parents were less thrilled with the organization.  As a pro, the Reston Y provides scholarships and free camps for underprivlaged kids.

So I don’t have a problem sending my child to the Reston Y camps but they are not my first choice. [/quote]
