clean friendly , great swim lessons for young children with Sue Gurtin she is great!

My son had never been to a camp. Children’s island was his first camp experience at 5.5 and he did so well! the counselors were great and made him feel comfortable and he was excited to go every day! We were so proud of him and grateful to the staff for making this possible!

Vey good children are very happy coming home tyre filing content love all the coaches specially Mike

We were so pleased with the CIT program this summer - it was truly a training experience with real feedback/evaluations and helpful orientations. I also thought the special CIT experiences (e.g., the special field trip to Marblehead) were great ways for them to bond (especially given they were not together all week) and feel special. My son can't wait to come back and do it again next year until he's old enough to be a true counselor!

My son has been thriving at the sports mania camp. He loves Coach Scotty. He feels very confident when he plays games with him. Scotty is wonderful he always has a smile on his face. He has taught my son how to play so many games! Coach Mike is wonderful as well. He gave my son a nickname that he now uses everywhere. They are a great bunch of coaches and we appreciate them.

Because both my parents want to go and they get a discounted rate for two adult members

My daughter had a great time. The camp counselors seemed very friendly and she enjoyed all the activities at camp, particularly archery and STEAM

Children's island has given my daughter a lot of confidence and she loves it.

The Lynch van Otterloo Y in particular is a great place, it's state of the art, always has new updates, clean, has friendly staff. And all the equipment I could need.

Everything my daughter loves everyone there!

My son felt included and excited to go to camp each day.

Both of my boys had a fun filled week at camps with the YMCA. My son in mini sports camp loved the variety of activities and choices, especially archery. My son in basketball camp had a lot of fun and feels like his skills improved. Counselors were great and pick up and drop off ran very smoothly.

Great facility, lots of classes offered. Heated pool!

My child enjoyed going every day. There was a variety of things for her to do each day. She felt supported by the counselors while she was there.

I would like tennis for children.

The Y has a clean and friendly environment to exercise for all levels of fitness. We especially like the rowers, free weights and elliptical machines. Also love the onsite fresh choices cafe.
