My daughter has been having so much fun! She comes home filthy, exhausted, and beaming. That's exactly what I'm looking for from a summer camp!
Because you have very good programs!!!
Nice facility...not crowded...very nice staff...
I like everything!
Friendly staff friendly members good classes clean facility
The variety of classes, membership allows you to take a lot of classes and no cost, the benefits are worth the cost.
Most of all, the friendly staff at the Salem Y.
There are a lot of offerings as they vary from week to week.
I’ve been going to the Y for quite a while now the people they are very friendly courteous and kind and willing to help you in anyway they could
First week was fabulous according to my daughter. The director is very organized and my daughter was entertained all day by creative games and crafts. The counselors engage with the children and the environment is very inclusive. I would highly recommend camp camp harbor quest to a family looking for a summer camp.
Love that they are all outside and the kids seem to really be having fun.
The instructors are encouraging and concerned for our well being
Like the aqua classes
Wonderful welcoming downtown location and a great steam room!!!
Parking is sometimes challenging but usually manageable (other than October!!)
Gina is the best swim coach
It is clean, the staff is wonderfully friendly, like the deep water swim classes
Everyone is very helpful and friendly.
The mind body classes are the best!
Friendly staff, good fitness equipment, great fitness hours and pool.
I am a big supporter of the Salem Y and the whole North Shore Y. They do a lot of great work for the communities they're in. With the pandemic they have focused even more on childcare, mental health, and working with almost all the schools in their districts.
I know how much the Y does for the community beyond being a pool and gym.
Great venue (especially gym), great fitness center, and great employees!
The kids get outside whenever possible. My kid likes the arts and crafts options.
I find that the Y has all the fitness programs I need while providing so much more to the community. I feel that my membership dues are helping the community instead of just helping me or making profit for a standard gym.
This teacher is amazing! My child loves her. She teachers with a lot of compassion and you can tell she cares about her students and their safety. Ms.Kate
Miss Nancy is a great swim instructor she’s amazing she helps out with the kids so much that I have recommended so many mother and fathers to go see Miss Nancy
Convenient facility + good staff
Because the place is well kept, friendly employees and in my time of need (my apartment building burned down) the Y stepped right up, got me an initial complementry membership pass, assisting in the reduction of what was colossal stress levels of instantly being homeless.
Cause I love it here
It’s more than a place to work out- it’s community. I love the connections I’ve made at the center. Also we have such a variety of choices and locations.
