“I like this program. It’s close; reasonable; fun and safe. Works for us!” -2nd grade mother
“Camille treated me with patience, dignity and guidance to ensure my son and I had a wonderful summer camp experience. I will always be grateful to her for that and look forward to the upcoming summer”
- 1st grade mother
“This was my son’s 1st year at YMCA camp, program is run very well. It is especially nice to have a mixture of indoor and outdoor activities”
- 3rd grade father
“Being this was our first summer camp experience, I was very happy with the experience. She never complained about having to go”
-Kindergarten father
“Three cheers for Camille and her staff”

“I think the success of the Backyard Kids Summer Camp is due to the leadership of Camille Villoresi-Haynes. Her experience and dedication is obvious from day one”-mother of a 1st grader
“I appreciated the fact that the kids were able to use the gym and pool facilities at the YMCA and Blake Center so I didn't’t have to worry about the extreme sun and hot weather. Thanks for keeping them safe!”
