Kids loved it and so I did too
Everyone that works there is kind, and cares for the children. He has been going for 3 summer camps so far and will continue to. We feel comfortable and know he is safe there.
My kid loves it so much!
Love the classes, love the kids programming. Only issue is our location (South Tampa) is super crowded and it feels like we have outgrown the facility. Otherwise very happy.
My 12 year old was in the art camp last week and she thoroughly enjoyed herself! She learned so much about the different techniques and mediums all while having so much fun at the facility. She told me that she was surprised that all of the counselors learned the kids names so quickly! I think that alone made her feel welcome and seen. Thank you!
I was very nervous about my son attending camp as we hadn’t had good experiences in the past. Kaiden and Riley have been amazing with my son and have made him so comfortable. He comes home talking about all of the friends he’s made and it’s helped him come out of his shell so much.
They have worked hard with my grandson and myself, and I appreciate everything that the counselors are doing with him. He is diagnosed with ADHD and he is on medication for that diagnosis.. Everyone has been really good with him at the Y. He has been kicked out of one of your summer camps three years ago from camp Christina..So he is doing so much better.And I appreciate the group for working with him.
Reception excellent and very nice gym and pool
My daughter made great relationships she has carried on past camp in the Jr Lifeguard program. She loved her counselor Sarah! We are thankful for a teen camp at the South Tampa Y!
The staff is wonderful. They are kind and patient with the campers. My son is an only child, during the past school year he struggled to play with others. I see a huge improvement from him and his interactions with other kids. I’m very thankful for the kindness the staff has shown me and son.
Our son had the time of his life. The staff was attentive, activities were structured, drop off and pick up was easy, and best off all they keep the children safe!
Yes. My son had lots of fun at the All Sports Camp.
I would recommend joining the Y because I myself go there and I enjoy the activities. It's like every day there is Something new being introduced. The instructors are very nice.
My daughter had a great week. Love that you can go only one week at a time if you don’t need multi weeks. Love the time works with working parents to make pick up and drop off easy. Love that breakfast and lunch is included a
It is centrally located. It has plenty of accessible parking. The pool and the staff are excellent.

Would be nice if facility had sauna/steam room!
My kid said he had fun and would go back. Only comment he had was that the bathroom was dirty every time he went to change after swimming - hopefully somehow this can be looked into?
My kids always have a great time, love the counselors, I feel they are safe there, great communication.
Water aerobics classes at Plant City YMCA are the best! Great instructors! The very best. I drive over from downtown Tampa.😎
