Frost Valley YMCA

kid had untreated infection for a week, Other kid was bullied. Lots of room for improvement.

The food was great. Staff so kind. Stayed in the lake house and it was so comfy. Well, the bed was not my favorite but so clean and more than adequate.

Rooms were clean. Staff not friendly. Stayed with school community. If you like walking up steep hills in the dark or to get to your cabins, then this is for you. Otherwise, you will pass out on those hills! No transportation provided to and from dining area! That was a great disappointment! I'm disabled and there were no provisions made for me being handicapped. In an emergency there is no service to call out! Nothing is provided in the cabins! It was not a horrible experience, more like morbidly, desolate place. We stayed three days and two nights

My daughters perspective: My favorite part of frost valley was doing the cable bridge hike. The food is edible the cabins were amazing but got hot very easily. The staff was amazing except 1 person. The worst part was the cross country skiing the shoes had ice all in them and this 1 staff member named Nelson tried to help me put the other ski on then he gave up then told me to ski with one ski, which I think that it was rude to say that to me and I feel he needs to be nicer to the guests that spent $300 on a trip and I had high expectations that all of the staff are respectful

A great place that is well run! My family has come here for the last 2 years after Christmas. It gives us a way to get away for a family adventure in the beautiful mountains of upstate New York. Stay in rustic cabins, lodges or motel-like accommodations and you will have all the meals and activities you will need to make a couple a days off as easy as possible. The staff is very helpful and friendly. They work hard to ensure all aspects are taken care of. When it snows they clear all the roads and salt appropriately. Lastly the food is amazing for the price I plan on coming back for years to come.

Visited the Frost Valley YMCA for the first time for the Memorial Weekend retreat. It was a nice escape to the Catskills and enjoyed hiking, canoeing, and climbing the rock wall built in the shape of the Y.

The cafeteria food was pretty tasty and vegetarian options were available.

Look forward to returning.

I just got my back from here and al I can say was the food was great they activities were fun and I loved everything

The 5 star "Woohoo! As good as it gets!" is a major understatement for Frost Valley YMCA. Years ago my folks originally discovered Frost Valley through the Indian Guides and Princesses program in NJ, then went up for family weekends (with three other families) twice yearly for many years. We went in October for apple picking and hayrides, then returned over New Year's weekend for ice skating and cross country skiing. They had a wonderful New Year's Eve program for families. I was also a summer camper, CIT, and summer camp staffer. I regard my time at camp as some of the best times of my life, and I keep in touch with many of the amazing folks I worked with there. Many of the camp past staff continue to support Frost Valley years after their time there, and return every few years from as far away as Australia for reunions. This dedication to the place and each other is a big part of what makes Frost Valley so special.

There are four main ways to visit Frost Valley: summer camp, family weekend, with a school or other educational group, or for a day trip. No matter how you choose to visit, you'll find gorgeous natural surroundings, a plethora of beautiful lodging choices from rustic to hotel-like options, and a warm, knowledgable, dedicated staff.

Frost Valley is just one of those places that seem to shine with a special light. They're pioneers in the area of environmentalism and constantly strive to bring the magic of camping to underserved communities. From the sound of the babbling brooks to the endless array of stars in the night sky, this is a place that will last in your memories forever, if you let it.

I visited on a training trip with my school for three day, at first I thought it sucked due to lack of service and wifi but it eventually becomes very fun and a nice getaway from home, it is perfect for children, family vacation, or even work seminars. I love this place. They are so many different activities you can participate it. All the activities distract you from wanting to check Facebook and Twitter and you have a connection and bond. The staff here are super sweet and respectful, I love their energy and how friendly they were and loved engaging in activities with us. This is definitely a place that's worth a try.

One of the best places in the world...hands down! An amazing summer camp program which helps kids grow to be strong independent adults. There are amazing counselors, great directors, super fun programs, and great food. The cabins are great!
