First name removed had a wonderful time at Children’s Island! She has grown so much over the 10 weeks she was there- she developed meaningful relationships with several new friends, and counselors. Leslie was so welcoming and kind to First name removed on her first week, pickup and drop off while getting to know the other counselors was also great. Charlie would always yell hey Eller! And I think that got First name removed very excited- she loved that she shared the same name with counselor First name removed and told me she was sad when she went back to college. Izzy, Maddie, Clark, Meghan- the whole crew was wonderful and we are excited to come back next year!

Savannah wants to shout out Miss Alana from gymnastics camp. She said that she knows Miss Alana from her Y after school program and it was so good to see her and give her a hug! Savannah says she is so nice and the best counselor!

We had a wonderful experience with YMCA Children’s Island Camp! My daughter absolutely loved it and looked forward to going every day. The staff and counselors were friendly, caring, and made the kids feel welcome and safe. There were so many fun activities, and she came home every day excited to tell us about everything she had done. I also really appreciate the positive and supportive atmosphere of the camp. Thank you for making her summer so special and creating such great memories. We would definitely love to come back next summer!

Dynamic, inclusive, friendship

Charlie was the best camp counselor, James talked about him all the time! Thanks for creating a memorable summer.

We absolutely love all your programs and activities! We’ve already signed our son up for basketball and soccer—he’s really looking forward to it! Thank you so much for the cartoon-themed loyalty program! It gives us the chance to be part of the YMCA. Thank you for your support during these challenging times; we truly appreciate it! Sincerely, Veronika Kursheva.

My kids had a great time. They all said (my girls were doing gymnastics) this was the best week. Typically most of these camps are great and my kids have a great time.

However on the last day my son came home and told me on Friday (week Aug 17 Sports Mania) he was hit, choked and he called it cannon ball so someone leaping or jumping on him maybe. Now I get this is coming from a 7yo however he was insistent this happened and he told me the other child was sent home immediately. He repeated the story a few times and the details didn't change which leads me to believe him. However he is 7 so he can exaggerate at times. No parent was ever notified. If this all did happen the way my son is saying I am LIVID I never received even a phone call nothing at pick up absolutely no communication from you all.

long time of visiting the facility....

Great all around favility

The facility is terrific and the people that I have met there have made me feel like part of the community.

It’s a great facility.

Because it is a great time to spend quality with family.

Everything is GREAT!!!!

There is so much offered! Something for everyone!

Always friendly great facility and programing

The variety of water based classes, the outdoor pool, the indoor pools, the high quality of the instructors, especially Heather Saxe and Meg.

This was a third year at Y camp for my kids, and every year it’s getting better and better! My daughter was in the gymnastics camp, and loved it! She can’t wait for next summer! My son joined a soccer camp this year, and it was excellent! Big Thank You to all the staff members at the Y, you are all amazing!!!

It is a wonderful place and resource for fitness

Love everything about LVO YMCA - EXCEPT the saunas!! They are terrible! And i'm not just saying that because they're out of order right now - which is fine. Infrared sauna has NO science behind it compared to traditional dry heat sauna. Dry heat sauna is extensively studied and excellent for mental health and cardiovascular health - infrared IS NOT. PLEASE put in real saunas. PLEASE. Please. They are not substitutes. Otherwise, I absolutely love it.

Great place, great classes. Some of the dance classes need way better instruction, though (Zumba and bellydancing) - it's like the instructor is just dancing for themselves! And it's way too fast.

My son loved the gymnastics camp. He’s a very busy and active 5 yo so having different activities all day long was a great fit for him.

Easy access to many different types of exercise. Love the community feel of all ages, all welcome. Clean, friendly , bright work it spaces.

It’s convenient and it has everything I’m looking for in a workout.

This ymca is fabulous! I bring my granddaughter to swim every Friday. The guards are like our friends now.
The pool is a 10! The warm pool is a 10!
The family locker room is interesting and always very clean.
Work out area has everything. . You have great machines and all the props needed for stretching, strengthening and rehab.
Thanks to all the people who work there and the Board of Directors.
Keep up the great work and many thanks!!
Once I retire I would like to get involved.
I hear there is no lost and found? What an opportunity for a nonprofit to help distribute lost items to folks in need.

I was very happy that there was parking during what was, likely, a busy time. Brenton spent some time showing me a variety of machines I can use when I begin working out. It was good to get an introduction to these machines since it's been many years since I used machines as part of my workouts. People were very friendly. It was a nice visit.

So many options for classes, swim program, and excellent instructors! Very clean facility

All the offerings and community.

Great staff. Great equipment.

Great classes and people. But I’m disappointed that studio 1 is now filled with weights and there are never more than a few people in there where we need it for classes with 15 people.
