What do you like about our program and activities?

Kenzie is amazing and deserves a raise. Jeff is amazing too. If possible I would have police during drop off and pick up as people are extremely aggressive driving.

What do you like about our program and activities?

Outdoor everything, it’s safe, counselors have great energy that translates to happy kids, I couldn’t be happier with how accommodating everyone especially Kenzie has been to enable such a great camp experience for Maxwell. She has gone above and beyond,

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

Great staff and very friendly. My son had a tough time at first but all the staff there were willing to work with him and I which made drop offs so much easier. I also made a request to have one of his friends from his class be in his group and they were willing to work with me. Towards the end of the sessions he is now excited to go to camp. Thank you guys and girls and a special shout out to Miss Kenzie. She is wonderful.
My son attended 3 camps this summer and overall this one ranked the highest.

What do you like about our program and activities?

The camp staff does a great job varying the activities for the kids week to week or for the weather. What I like most is my twins ask "do we have camp today" because they are having such a good time.

What do you like about our program and activities?

My kids have different needs -- we have one in Sterling Woods and one at Camp STAR. Jimmy and Kenzie are top notch. They are super supportive, responsive, accommodating, caring, fun, responsible, etc etc etc. The list goes on.

Our girls brought my husband and me to the Woods over the weekend and gave us a tour. We were both blown away by it... it has sleepaway camp vibes in a day camp. Who could ask for more!?

Every day was jam packed with sports related activities. My son went in to camp each morning with a smile and the counselors always cheered when he walked through the door. He couldn’t wait to tell me about the activities they did each day.

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

I would absolutely rate the Y a 10! The convenience, friendly staff, cleanliness, and availability of classes make it such a wonderful experience for our family.

I highly recommend the Y’s Sharks Swim Academy to anyone and everyone I speak to. Our son, has truly thrived since beginning his swimming journey and lessons at the Beverly Y.

We enjoy saying hello & goodbye to the fish friends in the lobby tank during our weekly visits.

We have loved watching his confidence, skills, and love for swimming grow. We are so grateful for the wonderful instructors and the positive, encouraging environment they provide.

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

This was my first time at the Beverly Y and I will definitely be back. I normally go to the marblehead Y as it is closer to my home but I was thoroughly impressed with the Beverly location. Everything was extremely clean, especially the women’s locker room. The full area was huge and all of the fitness equipment looked brand new. I took an aqua fitness class and the instructor Scott was terrific and you can tell he enjoys what he does.
