What do you like about our program and activities?

Children’s Island Day Camp is the most wonderful program for Hendrix, especially the Rangers program. We’ve watched Hendrix grow and understand the responsibility of the Ranger to care for the island and we are so proud. We are also very excited about the sailing program this year.

What do you like about our program and activities?

My daughter absolutely loves her seal pup counselors. On the last day of camp, after two weeks, she was so sad to say goodbye to them. She loved camp so much she begged to do an additional week! She has learned and shown so much more independence since going to children’s island. We will likely send her to this camp every summer.

What do you like about our program and activities?

My daughter has been enjoying YMCA camp for the last few years in Salem and Beverly, but Children's Island Camp is such a unique and enriching experience for her. The best part is the large amount of unstructured free play the kids have to explore, swim, and play. It is so important for their imaginative and cognitive skills. She is having an absolute blast.

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

I’ve been coming to this wife for over six years, the only issue I’ve had was this past June when I reached out at the end of May after I broke my left big toe and paused my gym membership, which never got paused. I’m hopeful that on the next billing cycle, you omit my payment so that I don’t have to Wrestle further with this issue. Thanks.

What do you like about our program and activities?

The counselors are so supportive and really care about the happiness and well being of your child! My son has camp anxiety really bad. The counselors worked so hard with him to get him feeling safe, comfortable and most importantly ready to have fun! We attended both LVO Sports Camp and Children’s island this year. Such great people there. My son came away from his week saying how much fun it was and he wants to do it again next year! Thank you so much!!

What do you like about our program and activities?

My child loves it. That’s what matters to me. She’s excited every morning to go to summer camp. Every day when I pick her up, she tells me about her fun day. I love how other activities are incorporated in the gymnastics camp. All the staff look happy to be there and appear they enjoy the work they do.
