This was our daughter's first year at the YMCA summer camp, and she loved it. I could tell that she was engaged and stayed active. The staff were caring and attentive. My daughter also made several new friends that we have kept in touch with even though camp has ended. The photos taken each week by the staff are a great bonus, as well as the special Friday activities. We will definitely be back next year.

I really wanted to join this Y but registering here would take an act of God. I'm sure for those will to take on this guantlet it pays off. But I would recommend taking your money to a gym that wants you to be a member.

I loved going to the Y and had once been a member here. When I walked in to reconsider joining, I checked their dressing room and saw that they no longer had gender separate jacuzzi and steam room. It's all co-ed! This is rather discouraging because I'm modest and don't want to mingle with topless men in skimpy doo. Also only 2 rowing machines!? Man... I'm checking out the other Y and see what they have.

Great place to workout on your own, but the kids programs are awful. We started with "ballet" for our three year old here and two bratty little girls ran circles around the teacher. She spent most of her time scolding them and warning them, not teaching anything. We tried the "horse camp" one summer that promised to give the kids lots of time in the saddle. The kids got 45 minutes. The rest of the time was spent sitting in the shade, watching counselors flirt and text. Later we tried gymnastics which was a good first start but once it came to joining the team, we realized the Y's aspirations are way beyond its means. The equipment has to be set up and taken down every session. They do it quickly and without really checking to make sure everything is right. In the year we were there, three girls broke bones during practices. The coaches are bored teenagers who spend most of their time staring at their phones or sitting on the floor rather that doing any actual coaching. I was embarrassed for the team at meets because other coaches were enthusiastically cheering on their teams, the Y coaches just sat there, barely acknowledging that one of their girls had just performed. The other teams sparkled and shined for the judges, the Y team didn't know how to smile or salute because their coaches didn't teach them. The final straw for our gymnastics experience was when one of the "coaches" cornered my daughter at a practice and pinned her against a wall asking, "Why don't you like me?" Maybe she doesn't like you because you're a threatening ass, just a thought. That ended our experiment with the Y's children's programs. I realize that most of their "coaches" are volunteers, but there has to be more training and oversight for them. The Y's programs might be a good way for your kids to try a sport, but once they show talent or real interest in an activity, if you can afford it, move them to a better facility with caring, thoughtful coaches.
