Member Testimonials
This camp was most what I remember camp being like as a kid. I liked that it was outdoors, a full day, and has activities like boating and archery that are not available everywhere else. Most camps my kids have been too are more like childcare with a weekly theme, this was actually going to camp.
Choices of exercises. Very friendly and helpful people. Caring coaches. Lots of seniors like me, for joyful interaction.
I lOVED the location, set up, and outdoor experience of it all. Pick up and drop off was smooth (though a bit confusing because of different times, locations, etc. for our location at Cross Timbers and due to rain/mud. I figured it out eventually, though!) He liked the variety of activities, especially the boating activities.
Variety of activities outside
Have been going to Cross Timbers Family Y since 1989, have made a lot of friends and I try to work out at least 4 days a week. When I started it was 5 days a week but I have slowed down some. I will be 82 in September and my wife 79. We work out with other 75+ year olds at 5 in the morning when the Y opens. We work out for about an hour and then enjoy coffee and laughs with these same people from 6AM to 7AM. Sometimes up to 10 people in our little group.
All of us have our share of physical drawbacks but also we are as healthy as possible because of our workout routines. We hope to continue as long as we can.
Great experience for kids
Outdoor and engaging activities
Our counselor, Bubbles, was OUTSTANDING. She connected with all the girls in my daughter’s group. She set a great example of having fun and being safe on the lake. My daughter hasn’t stopped talking about the friends and counselors that made her experience one of the BEST weeks of her summer. From tubing with captain to being greeted warmly by Radar, our girl had the best care every second she was at camp on the lake. We can’t wait to come next summer. Thank you to all of the energetic staff members for keeping up with the kiddos!
My daughter enjoys kayaking, boating, crafts and spending time with her friends.
My grandson loved the flag football camp!
My little girl’s first time @ camp.. She was very nervous on her first day, but by the end of her first day and when I picked her up, she was so excited to go back to camp the next day!
The camp has so many outdoor activities that involve being in the lake, as well arts and crafts works that she loved so much!
Great staffs, very friendly and super organized!
Daughter came home exhausted. I wish they would have done more boating activities.
Kids really enjoyed camp! Came home tired and happy.
My son loves everything he has done at camp on the lake! He loves the activities and the counselors.
It is all about the people who go to the Y. You are a member not a customer.
Great for all family where kids can learn and grow and stay healthy for a life time!! Friendly instructorsand staff!
I love coming in after lunch and having the gym pretty much to myself. Not crowded except a few regulars. Love that it’s close and easy in and out for workouts.
Soccer for Pk/Kg
The members, staff and instructors are wonderful. Can’t find a better place to work out and hang out as well!
Quality of instructors, overall friendliness
The class instructors seem to be interested in their students and try to make there workout sessions beneficial.
We like the atmosphere that the YMCA provides. I would suggest that because the YMCA struggles to get volunteer coaches, you could provide a discount on the fee for their child to participate. For example, if I volunteer to coach my daughter's fee could be 50% of the actual cost. This might help get volunteers.
Friendly, activities and all levels of programs , engaging
Staff very friendly. It is a place in the early morning after working out sit and talk to older retired people. It especially nice for me.
My daughter had a wonderful coach really enjoyed Volleyball this season
Friendliness. Many options for class participation
