Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

Lots of great classes and open swim times (inside at least). The kids club has definitely stepped it up the last few months too- I have a lot more confidence in them than I did a year or two ago.

Only negative and the reason I didn’t give a 10 is that someone sent a male camp counselor into the girls under 17 changing room last week while the campers were getting changed for the pool and I was changing my own small kids and myself. Another counselor asked him why he was in the girl’s locker room and he said someone sent him in and while he looked very uncomfortable and I don’t think it was malicious - there were plenty of female counselors out in the hall (even if they were from different groups) that could have temporarily switched with him- that would have felt more appropriate and comfortable for everyone. So maybe help the counselors feel empowered to speak up and switch group’s temporarily in situations like that.

The LVO is the best facility that I have ever had a membership. The staff are welcoming and helpful. The place is always clean, great amenities and there is always new classes and equipment.

What do you like about our program and activities?

Price, nice space. It wasn’t as toddler friendly, in terms of engagement, as other classes we have taken, but it is more affordable, so we will stay for now. My daughter requires high interest activities like bubbles, balls, songs, etc to actually stay with the class, otherwise she tends to stray.

Why are you so likely to recommend the Y?

Great facilities, good staff, nice selection of classes. More pool classes late morning/early afternoon would be my suggestion for improvement. And parking needs to be improved. A different system should be considered to help seniors who do not have handicap permits.
Thanks.

What do you like about our program and activities?

My daughter was in seal pups and she loved it. She was especially into Island Exploration, and the staff really seemed to “get” her. She came home with new jokes, new good friends, and some seagull poop on a hat that she was oddly proud of. :) Coming from Texas, it was really special for her to have such a great experience at Children’s Island.

What do you like about our program and activities?

My daughter really enjoys gymnastics camp and this is her third year doing it but the 2pm show case on Friday afternoon makes it impossible for parents who work to attend. Additionally running the show case for an hour and a half is entirely too long. I recommend cutting out everything except the dances that each group prepares each week and limiting it to 30 minutes. I also think the earliest that the show should start is 3pm.
Thanks for your consideration of this feedback.

What do you like about our program and activities?

My 12-year old son is going to the Sports Mania camp 4 years in a row. This year I have booked a trip to a water park for a week instead of one week in the camp. When he found out that, he started screaming, "Mom, I don't want going to the water park, I want to go to the camp! It will be a soccer week, I had been waiting for it for so long time!". Highly recommend to other parents.

What do you like about our program and activities?

My son loved this camp and will definitely want to go back next year. He loved the combo of basketball and free swim and always headed home with a smile on his face. He even had friends he already knew in his group! Coach Nick was always available to answer any questions or concerns to ensure each camper has the best possible experience.
