What are people saying (AI review summary)? The reviews for the MetroWest YMCA outdoor center are highly mixed. Many positive reviews praise the camp's outstanding staff for their ability to engage children, teach valuable life lessons (nature, friendship, role-modeling), and ensure a fun, enriching experience. Campers, both young and old, are said to learn about themselves and enjoy a wide range of activities. The annual K9 5K event is also highlighted as a fun community activity with good vendors and food. Conversely, a significant negative review raises serious allegations, including a lack of proper staff training, poor parent communication, kids being deceived, and inadequate activities. This review also claims that staff file false abuse reports to blame parents for their own negligence and unaddressed incidents, advising parents to remove their children from what is described as a 'very dangerous' organization due to unqualified staff and unattended children leading to daily incidents.

The staff is outstanding!!! They handle kids very well while making sure they are having fun! They will teach your kids valuable lessons about nature and the outdoors but also about being a good friend and a role model. This ymca is shaping well rounded kids and I would be proud to be a parent if i had kids that went here. The executive branch director is the best guy on the planet! All the other staff is incredible! Great services and opportunists for kids.

No proper staff training, no communication with parents, lying and deceiving kids, no proper activities. If you value your family life and want to have a good experience take your kids away from YMCA Camp. These people file false reports on abuse, when they have negligence or fail to report about incidents to parents, so what they are trying to do is to place a blame on a parent. I highly advise you to watch out and for sake of your kids take them away from this camp. Staff and counselors unqualified, no proper training, lot of young kids being unattended and incidents happen on daily basis. This organization is very dangerous.
