The front desk staff remembered me when I came back to add another class to my daughter's swimming program.
Also I was referred to the swim coach director, Ashley David, to talk about a best fit replacement class for my special needs daughter. She was considerate and professional!. Thanks Ashley

We have members of the the YMCA community for a number of years in Illinois and California. We recently relocated to the Howard County area from out-of-state, and we were looking for a pleasant childcare experience for our children. We found the Dancel Y camp to be a pleasant, safe, and comparatively economical childcare solution for our children.
