Member Testimonials
I love how communicative the team at Avery's Creek is. The programs are wonderful and my kids are often asking to stay longer. Every holiday there are fun additional activites which are super engaging. I recommend YMCA to everyone!!
Convenient. Variety of activities.
I like that program is on school premises. Program coordinator Maddie is very kind amd cooperative. My daughter likes the going to ymca very much.
Prioritizing kids to be outdoors and away from technology! And Molly and Jack -- they are wonderfully kind and great role models for the kids.
Los maestros son muy buenos y delicados con los niños, los motivan a jugar y explorar
The YMCA is a great place for my kids to learn and play after school. They love to see their friends and hang out.
Afterschool is great and the staff are reliable.
I like that pickup isn’t until 6pm and I like that school out days are covered also. It is helpful to single working parents that depend on childcare to be able to work. The staff are friendly and great with the kids at North Buncombe.
Kids get outside, food seems to be nutritious, daughter reports all adult staff are kind and caring
Most importantly my child LOVES attending afterschool. They help with homework on the days they can and she even ask me to pick her up later than normal just so she can finish an art project they are working on. The counselors are great, very involved and truly get to know the children . The Weaverville site has been great! My youngest is so excited to join her older sister at that site next year.
I love that most of the camp leaders actually interact with the kids, I rarely have issues with my child not wanting to be there or feeling like she has no one to play with. One of her favorite group leaders even reads her library books with her and she loves it so much
Friendly staff, gets the kids active and social, safe environment
The all year program is a life saver for me. I’m a working mom. Between school days ending at 2:30, teacher work days, holiday breaks.. it can be really hard.
YMCA has been a wonderful experience for my daughter. She has really enjoyed it.
My daughter loves all the crafts and games outside.
I appreciate all that you guys offer. From amazing staff who truly cares about their students to being able to text or call with any questions or concerns. Everytime I talk to a counselor it’s like taking to a friend. They really make everyone feel so comfortable. I believe actions are louder than words. Ever since my daughter started, Maddie has been a house hold name. I have been asked on multiple occasions to “please don’t pick me up early so I can hangout at the y”. You guys are the best. From the bottom of my heart thank you so much ♥️
It’s free so single parents like myself are able to work and provide for our children without having to worry about paying for either childcare so we can work vs how will we be able to eat. Along with my daughter enjoys the different clubs that are offered
We absolutely love the YMCA after school program at North Buncombe Elementary. Our child is very well taken care and looks forward to being able to spend time with friends and counselors everyday. We wouldn't want to go anywhere else.
Kevin is great with the kids and keeps them active and having fun.

My daughter is always happy to be with her teachers and friends at the Y. Every time I pick her up from afterschool, she is happy. There is an awesome staff working at Estes! Thank you!
The hours, the staff, the variety of activities and options for the kids.
They are so many options available!
We love the after school program! It works out great for our schedules and the kids always have fun in YMCA. The schools out days and summer camps are great too!
I love that all kids are included and all ages get time to play together. The coordinators this year have been very responsive, communicative and supportive of both my questions and issues that come up with my kiddo.
Mariah has been incredibly kind to our child. Makes a big difference for us knowing the staff care!
We like that there is active time for the kids to be outside, even in cold weather. That is a priority for us. Also seem to be good options for activities inside.
