Friendly greeters & friendly helpful employees, who if they don't know the answer, they find someone who does. A well maintained CLEAN facility.
Everyone is always smiling and saying something when you come or leave. I’m taking a class right now 12.30-1:30. This is a really good class. I wasn’t sure the group would challenge me, but it did. It really is a good workout.

My children really enjoy all the Children's programs we've used including summer camp and child watch. I like how personable the staff is.
Great facility! Staff are very friendly.
My kids had a blast. Very well organized.
The staff are wonderful. Everything is thoughtfully planned out. The only thing I would recommend, when it is extremely hot out to have more inside activities or water activities. All and all very happy with the Whitley County YMCA. Thank you! We appreciate you all!
The staff/counselors do so well with our son. I love the environment for him—maintaining some structure but also allowing them to have a summer of building friendships and having fun.
Becky does such a great job with the littles so fortunate to have her as an instructor
New friends. Classes make me accountable.
My kids enjoyed being able to hang out with friends during the summer. I appreciated all of the scheduled activities so they weren't just sitting in front of screens or doing nothing inside. I feel like the price point was pretty reasonable for everything they get to do.
The summer camp staff is exceptional!!
The staff are accommodating and great with the kids. The activities keep the kids active and engaged. My kid really enjoys the field trips.
My son was new to the community and joining the Y summer camp helped him meet people his age before school started. The LIT program was structured but also included a lot of fun and time with the younger campers. I’m glad this is part of the Columbia Cify community.
The organization of the camp is seamless! Fun field trips! And the best staff! Even if problems arise everyone communicates so well that I have never had an issue or been left wondering!
Most of all my kids LOVE IT and are tired after a fun day at camp!
The staff is phenomenal and the kids stay super busy and have a great time all summer long!
They care about each and every child. No child left behind
The counselors are kind and compassionate and are always great with kids of different ages and personalities. There are a great variety of activities and the field trips are awesome. My kids have a great time!
Audrey has went 5 years and loves it. She wants to be a counselor when she is old enough.
Lori runs a great program that the kids love. The staff do a great job and keep the kids safe and entertained.
The best staff and the best experiences!! 💜🫶👏🏻
Great facility and youth programs
The facility is is very good condition, a good variety of workout areas, the staff is friendly and do a great job. One of the things we do there is play pickleball, which is run well.
The instructors, workers, and volunteers are all so wonderful!
I like the instructors and customer service
Mindy is pretty cool
Convenient, clean, friendly staff, even when busy there is always room for one more.
This was my first time at the facility. I found it to be well-equipped, very clean and the staff very welcoming and friendly.
Kim runs a great program. Great communication and improvements with the practice plans now
Katie is an excellent trainer. Brooke and Shaylie are probably among my top ten favorite people ever. All of the staff here are wonderful, but especially those three :)

The Columbia City YMCA day camp and kids care all together has some of the best people. Year after year we consistently see the same faces leading their team, yay Poppi! The consistency and staff speaks volumes in today's world. Have fun programming, weekly field trips, overnight camps and spend a day with the kids raising money for their end of year party. It definitely has that small community feel that everyone knows everyone. I would definitely recommend this to anyone needing childcare.
