Todo el personal que tienen para acompañar los niños.
The Y staff are simply the best!!
Lately the AC in the group ex room has been highly unreliable. The room temperature has reached a dangerous level several times with no provisions for an alternate spot for.class. I certainly have to mention that when I recommend this Y location. You do, however, have the most Zumba classes of any location in the area. So that means a lot for me and I do mention that to others as well.
I appreciate the staff and program directors for their excellent communications and coordinated efforts to make sure my child is safe during camp. My child is happy with the staff’s support and respectful attitudes. She loves camp.
Structure , routine and responsibility
Our kids come home happy and exhausted from fun all day

My kids love going every day.
I like that each week there is a theme and theres always something different to do and not just the same thing every day. Also love that they added the Ipswich Y to a field trip for swimming.
Savanna and Camp Elm have been amazing! My kids love coming and the entire staff.
Communication is my biggest thing and that what the staff gives me, give me details of the day and how my son is doing
As a kid filling this out this camp is fun, and there is so many opportunities here like sports, art, games, etc. this place is a perfect place to be who you want to be. The YMCA is the best program😤🔥🔥
Our son has absolutely loved camp this summer! His favorite parts have been swimming, the waterside playground, Gaga ball, volleyball, and basketball. Every day he comes home excited to tell us about everything he did.
One thing that has made camp even more special for him is that his big sister, Vicky, works there. He loves knowing she’s nearby and says it makes him feel comfortable and happy to have someone from home at camp with him. It’s been such a wonderful experience, and we’re so grateful for all the fun memories he’s made. Thank you to all of the amazing staff for making camp such a positive and exciting place!
I love how you guys offer a variety of programs that are inclusive for all ages and build community and connections. Carlos is always filled with positive energy no matter what time of day. He is always friendly, fun and engaging. He is very tentative to the kids needs and builds strong community support. Carlos and his staff are always kind, welcoming and have positive attitudes.
I think it’s a great place for anyone
You keep a quiet gym space. No one else does.
My son loves the Y staff. I personally have only had positive interactions with the staff. They are very caring, compassionate, and meet the kids where they are. I think these are all valuable traits to have when working with young people.
My daughter is 11 and she’s starting to get board. She’s wishes she could be a CIT now.
