There seems to be something for EVERYONE!

I think everyone did a great job with the camp this year. We have gone other years. My two children, boys 8 1/2 and 5 1/2 years old, attended the last two weeks of June. The things I like about the camp: adult to children ratio is very good, variety of activities, much improved car drop off, value for cost. The things that I don’t like about the camp: zero feedback about my children. In this day and age with apps/technology at our fingertips, I feel like there is a way that that could be improved upon. For example, whoever the assigned counselor to your child’s group is could fill out a checklist app about their daily progress with a freestyle comment or two (or even twice a week progress would be satisfactory). For example, my son refused to go swimming the entire time he was there, but I never got any feedback as to why (loves to swim otherwise).

It will be nice if there is an indoor track for hot summer days like the last few weeks.

Proactive and timely communication. Appreciate the mix of physical and cognitive activities. I wish there was some sort of app where the counselors could share photos of the kids activities or know more about their day, since my 4 & 6 year old don’t share a lot of detail.

The well trained and caring staff! The overall quality of the attitude to make sure everyone has the best possible experience. Thanks Y for providing the entire community with a safe environment..

UMLY summer camp is phenomenal. My daughters love it. They make new friends, have so much fun and really enjoy the counselors. The special activities are fantastic and keeps things from being monotonous. The Kona truck this year is great, though very expensive when paying for 3 kids for an entire summer. They really look forward to it, and with how hot this summer has been, it’s been helpful to cool them off.

The relationships formed with both campers and counselors are amazing. Thank you camp UMLY!

Great program even better people!

The number and scope of different activities available for the kids and the encouragement from the counselors! From nature walks and education, plays/sketches, swimming, pickleball, arts and crafts, a variety of outdoor games, to lots of music there was an activity there for every different interest. The counselors also played a huge part in fostering friendships with and among the campers. My son’s counselors from previous years all remembered him and made a point of finding him and greeting him by name this year. Great team.

Great community Ymca. Love everything from all the classes, camps programs. Staff is amazing. Always welcoming at the front desk and helpful to answer all questions.
Camp is been great , variety of different experiences.

My son loved the camp! It was great experience for him and for us, the parents. He loved the swimming, the sports, the themed weeks, the arts, the kona water ice. It is great that YMCA is organizing this great experience for the kids in our community!

Variety of programs.

The only program I use at your branch is the tennis program, which is excellent.

Variety and availability.

Group exercises and the gym. However, most of the time I have not been able to find someone to help me with new equipment at the gym.

WE LOVE GROUP EXERCISE CLASSES AND PERSONAL TRAINING SESSIONS. WE'D LIKE TO GO TO THE POOL BUT WE ARE NOT TOO KEEN ON GOING TO THE z POOL ESPECIALLY AFTER THE CAMPERS HAVE PEED IN IT. WE HAVE YET TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE PICKLE BALL AND TENNIS COURTS; SOMEDAY SOON. WE THINK HAVING GROUP CLASSES FOR PEOPLE LIKE MY SON WHO HAS AUTISM WOULD BE A HUGE PLUS. OR FAMILY GROUP EXERCISE SO WE COULD GO TOGETHER. WE LOVE OUR PERSONAL TRAINER MAX! IT WOULD BE NICE TO BUILD AN INDOOR TRACK OR INDOOR FIELDS/ TURF FOR LIKE SOCCER OR SOMETHING.

Excellent instructors and class offerings! Staff is very friendly and helpful! So far it seems pretty clean.

The Pickleball program is great! Please expand it!

I really like the range of classes and the cleanliness of the facilities. There are lots of little, thoughtful perks throughout the building like vending machines and chairs for resting. My entire family--including my children--have found activities they enjoy at this Y.

The only reason my score isn't a 10 is that the people at the desk don't always know where to direct you to get to particular rooms/studios and there are no maps of the interior of the buildings or the campus as a whole online to refer to. (I once had a question about where the "Nature Center" was, and the person who answered the main phone number had to guess. Another time I was directed to the wrong floor for swim lessons. I also had to go searching for a dance class in Studio A, which was not, as the main desk people implied, next to Studio B.)

It means the world to us that UMLY has the Bumblebee camp for campers with special needs. I also love the group effect of taking classes at the Y. I push myself to do my best because I feel part of a community. I'm always greeted by name, and always offered support when I'm trying something new. The Y feels like home.

Variety and the friendly and professional staff
