The management is rude and not considerate. My son was attending summer camp in 2013, when he had leg pain, in person i submitted the cancellation form. After numerous calls they got back after 6 weeks that they need Dr. Certificate. After submitting the Dr. Certificate, they took another 2 months and finally denied the refund for 4 days or providing credit for next year. I am shocked as number of near by camps - Soccer center, Hoop Heaven.. etc give you credit for future. These guys have some personal agenda. Will not return to Sommerville YMCA camp.
