This Thank You Note
Says it All!

Amazing Camp!!
 
This was my son’s 2nd year attending Glenbrook’s summer camp program. The counselors were very friendly and the camp was immaculate.
 
My son learned how to swim and was able to learn skills in soccer which helped him tremendously this fall! I would recommend this camp to any parent looking for a safe fun place for their child!

Glenbrooke Rec center was my son’s first camp and he absolutely loves it! He comes home with a huge smile and tells me all the fun things they did. It’s absolutely phenomenal how much his swimming has improved just in one summer. He just turned six in June and went from having to wear a life vest to literally jumping off the diving board with no vest and swimming all on his own. I would definitely recommend the rec program at Glenbrooke! My little guy told me he wants to do the full day program next year already! He loves it!

Glenbrooke has been an amazing experience for my children. They have been able to participate in swim, tennis, and swim team. My five year old started this summer as a non swimmer and now is going off the diving board as a confident swimming fish. All the staff goes above and beyond to make sure the kids are safe and having a great summer experience. It is very difficult to find something that keeps the kids busy all day on the summer. Glenbrooke had something for everyone. We will be back again next summer for more fun in 2022!
