Member Testimonials

The workout gym is fabulous! It had so many different equipment to try and workout in! I loved the indoor walking path! So nice! I wish we had that at UMLY! Loved the coded lockers as well!

Great Staff, Safe and Family Environment

The enviroment at the WCAY is supportive and helpful for our family. Our son, 9, started at the WCAY at 6 months with Daycare.
He has gone though multiple youth sports, and currently on his 4th Summer swim team. He attends camp every summer and looks forward to the friends he has made [other kids AND staff].

Brooke just completed her second summer with Mark and his crew. I can't say enough good things about the program. All the staff is so welcoming and attentive. We have moved and will be sad next summer when we have to find another camp. Thank you again for a great fun filled camp. Fondly,
Pamela and Brooke

Camp is inclusive and works with my son's special needs. The financial assistance helps me afford programs for him and myself.

Your lifeguards are excellent. I feel my children are safe at the pool, because I can tell that the lifeguards are paying attention and taking their job seriously.

I like the cycle class

This is my daughter's second year with Camp Winnipeg and she absolutely loves it! She loves all the friends she makes (who also come back each Summer) and her counselors. I have never seen more committed counselors who truly enjoy what they do and take such great care of the kids. You can tell how much the campers enjoy seeing them each day and miss them when the season comes to a close.
Mark Hoy is an amazing camp director. He is a rare find and hold on to him! He is professional, kind, responsive, and cares about each and every child. He is the first one to help out in any situation (including a parent's flat tire!) We will continue to come to the WC Y every year for camp. It is our Summer tradition!

Best camp ever! Very organized and devoted to the kids

My kids loved camp this summer and cannot wait for next year!

I love the variety of camps offered, and I appreciate how active the kids are during the day. The enthusiasm of the counselors is wonderful. My son loved everything about camp!

Mr Mark is an amazing camp director

All the camp staff were accessible, personal and FUN. It felt like camp for real people, run by real people. Our kids enjoyed every moment, but having access to the pool every day was big, and all the crafts. Thank you for making this summer one to remember!

All I know is that for the (1) week both of our kids attended they preferred it over their other summer camp program, especially swimming everyday!

Our son did summer camp.

i love the ease and simplicity of drop off and pickup. More importantly, my kids enjoy being at camp and like the counselers. The structure is just enough that they don't feel like its too ridged and can enjoy the camp experience but at the same time isn't so relaxed that they aren't rules to keep them safe and maintain some sort of structure. We also liked the weekly field trips.

The facility and person that met us st the car line was great. It was weird to never meet the counselor and the info about what was needed for the week was provided way to late!

I like the emphasis on the values of kindnesses, respect, honesty, caring. While the swimming and games are awesome too, the emphasis on having fun while also having values is so important to our family.

My son enjoyed the summer camp and would like to return. The option to receive swim lessons while at camp was very convenient with our work schedules. We had a pool installed this past spring and recognized his swim skills throughout the summer.

Well organized and run! Wide variety of offerings. Staff is professional and courteous.

The Y camp is run very efficiently. There is timely and frequent communication about pick up changes, field trips, etc. The staff are all very friendly and competent. My son enjoyed the Y camp and especially the weekly field trips to fun places! We highly recommend this camp to all of our friends.

The staff is very professional and accommodating. They make it fun for the kids every day!

There is a good variety.

My daughter had a fantastic time at camp. She loved swimming every morning and begged me to take her as early as possible. Each day when I picked her up, she was sad to go and excited to tell me about her day. I will definitely be signing up again next year.

Friendly instructors...easy to follow
accommodating times
varied choices

I am a big fan of deep water Aquafit. It is good exercise as well as a way to connect with others. I attend the Tuesday/Thursday 5:30 pm classes as well as Saturday 8:00 am. The past several weeks the Tuesday/Thursday 5:30 pm classes have been very large - 18 or 19 people - which is really too many people for the class. I would like to see the schedule revert to 5:00 and 6:00 offerings of two separate classes.

Modern and clean facility, up-to-date machines in the fitness area, great outdool pools

I came because my Y was closed for enhancement week. The West Chester Y was clean and accessible. The staff was very courteous and friendly. They were also very helpful.

I used the indoor pool while the UMLY was closed for cleaning. Other than that, I didn't utilize the WC Y programs or activities.

nice gym!
