I would rate my Southeast Raleigh YMCA Day Camp experience a 9 out of 10. I had a lot of fun, made great friends, and really enjoyed playing basketball and football. Every day was exciting, and I looked forward to coming to camp.
The camp counselors are great! You can tell that the leaders of the camp do a great job in hiring. It’s very organized and communication has been great!
We absolutely loved the camp! Our boys had a great time, the counselors are top-notch!! We are excited for next summer!
I really enjoy using the track for a 30-minute walk during the week.
The class that I attended was engaging and fun-Tai Chi. The instructor was very helpful and patient with new beginners. So far so good. Plenty workout equipment. And very CLEAN. Peaceful. Relaxing. I look forward to partnering with the Y financially.
I love the early morning hours, the kid zone, the outdoor pool, the staff, the community. I could go on and on!!
Everyone is very professional, kind and welcoming. I love the evolving class schedule.
My daughter absolutely loves the camp! She enjoys every single day, loves her counselors and the entire group, and truly looks forward to being there. It makes me very happy to see how much she enjoys her time at camp.
The only thing I would like to mention is the swimming day on Wednesdays. According to the summer camp schedule, she has swimming on Wednesdays, but unfortunately, she is not able to take a shower afterward. I have mentioned several times that if my daughter goes swimming, it is very important for her to shower afterward, and she also asked about the possibility of taking a shower. However, we were told that this option is not available.
Because of this, we have decided that she will not participate in swimming. This honestly makes me very sad, because she would love to enjoy this activity with the other children. I really hope there might be a way to provide campers with an opportunity to rinse off or shower after swimming in the future.
Overall, though, we are very happy with the camp and truly appreciate all the wonderful work the counselors do!
Everything is great and the stuff is great and very helpful

The classes: Yin, Yoga Flow, Kettlebell
My typical Y is Alexander on Hillborough street but I try to attend Pendra’s Sunday afternoon yoga class regularly because it’s excellent. The facility is gorgeous, almost enough parking and I hope to get the pool soon. I love having a second option close by
I love the community feeling at SER. There are also great programs and classes
Variety of classes
The diversity and class options
First of all Southeast is like an extended family. Members and staff keep up with each other and are truly supportive and caring. The instructors are first rate as are the classes. I’m there five days a week. Does that tell you anything? 🥰
The variety of classes, class size and cleanliness of the facility.
What an excellent facility from the equipment to the people, especially the people that make this Y exceptional.
I recently had an issue with the process of adding my children to my membership: I completed the paperwork ~1 month prior to trying to use the childcare and other services on my membership. I was told that their additions were still pending. I am not sure where the paperwork got lost or held up but Tracy was able to assist with pushing it through, allowing my children to stay in childcare while I completed my exercise class.
