Member Testimonials

My two sons have been going to YMCA camp for about 5 years. We occasionally try other camps but have never been as satisfied as we are with the YMCA. The camp counselors have always been enthusiastic and had great personalities. The environment there supports my children’s growth and self esteem.
Thank you!

All activities under one roof..and friendly staff to help out as well.

build endurance and confidence. Healthy kids

Wide range of programs

Very friendly staff; facilities are well maintained; lots of variety in programming.

We have been a part of the UMLY community for the last 2 yrs. Our favorite program is the Summer Camp. My daughter has grown tremendously in so many ways as a result. She wakes every morning excited to return to Camp UMLY to see her friends,embark on new adventures,partake in group field trips to fun and exciting places, and interact with her Camp Counselors. When she began camp 2 years ago she barely knew how to swim. She was given lessons everyday that first year of camp and it helped to build her confidence in herself as well as her confidence in her ability to swim. By the end of the first year she had progressed to a green band, which gained her access to the deeper water and alot of new fun stuff. The Spark Time (before/after)was a lifesaver for me because of my work schedule. I could drop her off at 7 a.m and could pick her up as late as 6 p.m. when my work schedule called for it. I have had nothing but great experience with the camp counselors,coordinators and staff. It's a safe bet to say we will return for yet another fun filled,action packed Summer of 2019! Thanks Camp UMLY!

Diversity of activities

First of all, the counselors.

My daughter loved swimming and the nature walks.
Of course she loves arts and crafts.

My son liked the camp and I liked the daily feedbacks.

Great trips, the kids tAlked endlessly about it.

We like the tennis camp and children's art project. We were very happy with the program

We loved all the activities that the kids experienced. The kids loved archery, field trips and pool time. The counselors were amazing too.

The only drawback is the handling of the heat. It was a hot summer. Camp needs more activities to keep the kids cool. Sprinklers, water gun/ balloons, and time inside during the hottest time of the day. Industrial fans outside would help too. The kids said corale was the worst because no shade.

Convenient

So many opportunities for so many people, and a great community!

The diversity of programs/choices that you offer

It's amazing. My son was very engaged in every day activity. Although it gets him be super dark apparently, but he got lots fun and made new friends during the tennis camp. We for sure will return next year.

Variety and great teachers

broadway camp was great soccer camp could use some help

Everyone is quite friendly and treats you like family. Bill, Scott, Mike, Courtney and the rest of the front desk staff always have a smile on their face when you walk in. Very warm and inviting.

I like having access to the various Y branches and seeing the various amenities. Always a pleasant experience!

Most of the membership Staffs go above and beyond to help their members and the guest .

The staff is extraordinary----most of them are special people---especially the lifeguards---Mark, Jim, Chris, Kim, etc. Helen Flanders is an extraordinary asset to the Organization as well as Scott, the maintenance man, Christian, his colleague, and Scott, Bill, Mike and Adam at the front desk and Don Draper.
