Member Testimonials
All the staff members have been wonderful; it has been a great experience over the summer
The one issue I've experienced is the parking lot issue... I feel like this year the 15 minute drop off window isn't enough time for the entire camp to be dropped off and picked up. I believe this is a safety issue with kids walking through the parking lot, we've seen people drive the wrong way through the parking lots and people not pay attention in the parking lots. I think if there was a wider gap to drop off/pick up it would ease the tension.
My granddaughter liked the pool activities and the friendships encouraged.
All is great. I’d skip the talent show, however, or break into manageable bite sized pieces. No parking, crowding, can’t see, acoustical problems because of the space. Was sweet to see the kids having fun but not outweighing the challenges.
My daughter loves camp chipmunk, and all her staff! She comes home with lots of stories about her day and never wants to take a day off or leave early.
Both my children love camp and the staff has been great!
It is an incredible place!
My son enjoy the camp and it gave him something to for the summer
My camper has loved learning new skills and showing them off every week at the gymnastics performance. He meets new friends and connects with counselors with lots to say about his fun activities at the end of each day.
My son is outside and moving his body all day long! He has made lots of friends and loves his counselors. From swimming to learning new games to creating cool art to challenging himself with the ropes course to collecting acorns on a nature walk, this kid comes home happy, tired and dirty every day. This is what summer is all about.
From my perspective, the people who run the camp are hard-working, kind and care for the kids. They are easy to communicate with and have always helped with any requests we’ve made. They make my kid feel seen and they make the day fun.
My only gripe is the new hours this year. The later dropoff makes things tough some mornings!
I would definitely recommend Sterling Woods to my friends for their kids. I often do! My daughter also loves Chipmunks and will be going to Sterling Woods next year. We ❤️ the Y.
The facilities are beautiful. There is a great variety of classes for all levels and interests. The hours are generous. The staff is helpful and genuinely nice.
Clean, cheerful, had what I want.
The facilities are beautiful, staff are kind and welcoming, and the quality of many of the group ex glasses is what you would find at boutique fitness studios.
The facility is clean and staff is helpful and friendly
It’s a great place! Clean, friendly, state of the art equipment and facilities, and a nice family/community vibe. Keep up the great work.
I work here at Kids Club. It is so nice to be of service for the moms and dads who need child care while they work out.
My son and daughter love the YMCA Sterling Woods camp. Every day they get to participate in a variety of activities but more so they feel supported by the wonderful staff. Every single staff member we have had contact with has been so kind, attentive and full of energy - even on the hottest of days.
Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable staff.
Wide variety of classes to choose from.
The staff is very friendly and welcoming, the machines are very clean and so is the entire facility. It seems to be a friendly atmosphere and community there. If you have a question anyone on staff is very happy to help you with that.
