Member Testimonials
We loved that my daughter learned how to swim!
Such great camp surprises and outdoor exploration! We loved swimming twice a day. The counselors seemed great and enthusiastic. I liked the car line when it was functioning--good coordination!
Your counselors are amazing and my boys had such a great summer! The activities were all enjoyable and kept them busy. Keep up the great work CAMP UMLY!
great facilities and staff; great varied and diverse types of camper experiences and themed programs. my children can experience a variety of different activities and not get bored doing the same thing every week.
Enriching for the kids, affordable, summer camp is exquisitely organized
Janelle Brandberg is a gem! She is so great to work with and makes me feel comfortable dropping my son off. In addition, each counselor shows excitement in the morning and the afternoon, they truly care about their jobs and the kids. The activities planned are unique and entertaining too, it's hard to get bored here. I hope to send my kids here for many years to come!!
Summer camp was great! All the counselors knew my child by name very quickly. He had such a wonderful summer. I was really impressed with the organization in all aspects, from communications to drop-off and pick-up procedures.
I only wish UMLY had not gotten rid of the Froggy Pool!! It was the perfect spot for my little ones in prior summers, and it is disappointing that the Y chose not to invest in resources for its youngest members.
My daughter loved all of her camps this summer. We'll definitely be back!
We love the diversity of activities for our daughter and exposure to new things. The counselors are fantastic and engaging for the kids and our daughter loves the weekly themes. They really went above and beyond this past summer!
Love the staff and engagement. The programs are not only top notch, but the environment is safe and conducive to a great experience for all attended
Sports and Camp
The staff members could not be any more polite, knowledgeable, and helpful. Their courteousness alone makes my trips to the Y to work out at the pools and the gym tremendously rewarding. As a partial result, even though I am already in my 80s, and for 55 years confined to a wheelchair, I am getting into steadily better shape.
Thank you. A grateful member.
Great swim team program and coaches
Ease of signing up, so many choices!
My 10 you loved your camp! I also appreciate the wonderful director at the upper mainline camp in PA because some issues arose and I thought she handled them in a wonderful manner! I really appreciate all that you do! Thanks for a great summer!
Summer programs that are convenient for working parents, creative, educational and fun for kids. Great value as well.
The time options are good.
They are very family oriented and it is clear a lot of thought and preparation are put into every Y program.

Versatile
My daughter did the 1 week Art Discovery camp. She adored the counselors, loved the pirate theme (was unsure if that would be "cool" at first but got super into it and the skits throughout the week), loved the pool and waterslide, and thought the other kids were fun and nice. She reported that everything was very structured and well-organized and she felt safe and well taken care of.
At 10 years old, she said she was one of the few "older" kids in the group and felt the art projects were fun, but maybe not as intense as she would have liked for an art specific camp. They seemed geared towards the younger end of the age range. From the mom perspective, the camp advertised pottery (clay?) and painting, but there were no pottery projects to our knowledge, and it was all mostly coloring. My child didn't care, but I was a little surprised based on the cost of the camp (assuming art materials made up part of the tuition).
Between the several camps that we did this past summer, UMLY safety and security was the top. This made the drop-off/pick-up process longer, but for any parent who is concerned with safety - this is the camp for them!
Overall, a great camp and a great experience.
location, location, location! Free aftercare until 6pm.
I like that the YMCA staff makes sure that parents of campers are well informed about daily activities as well as the children needs and safety. They are well prepared to have fun and productive safe day.
