my family LOVED their time in the island and felt everyone was very nice and welcoming

Children’s island is incredible - what a gift for the kids to be on the water an at their private location. Happy kid and family!

The YMCA -Another great reason to live in Marblehead

Entire program is great: Counselors, Communications, Activities. The new bathroom facilities & seal pup buildings are nice. It's also really fun to see the long history of the island with plaques & mementos on the walls.

The only room for improvement, would be some general landscaping out there. I think trimming back some of the vegetation overgrowth, as well as seeding grass in open areas, would make a big difference.

I love that the program allows the children to learn about nature as well as being outdoors. They are able to do regular camp activities while also being creative with the nature materials already on the island.

I recommend the Y because it’s clean, has brand-new machines, is close to home, and I always run into neighbors there—it feels like part of the community.

Great space, with lots of equipment and workout options.

Well maintained, beautiful facility. I am a Senior who takes fit for life classes. Really like the instructors.

YMCA camp is amazing! The kids have a variety of activities everyday and always come home with great projects. Anna loved the art activities at gymnastics camp. It was great to see sailing back on the island this summer and Nellie participated a few times! It was great. William lived for gaga ball and I feel the counselors and camp directors knew my kids well.
