Member Testimonials

We love Camp Kennett!

I am a member of the YMCA in Jennersville. I am coming to use your pool for aqua therapy while my pool is closed for annual repairs. I find your small warm water pool very cozy and quiet. Your individual dressing rooms are very clean and equipped with handicap bars that I need while recovering from spine surgery. I may come more often as I live about halfway between both YMCAs. I may even get to meet new neighbors!

I have been a member of the Kennett YMCA since moving to the area seven years ago. The facilities, staff, and feeling of community make it a place that I very much enjoy and frequently use. Recently, however, I have noticed that the cleanliness of the men's locker room and facility in general is not at the level I had become accustomed to over the years. I hope this is temporary and that the management and staff will pay attention to the details of running the facility. They matter.

Generally very enjoyable and well led group exercise classes. All of the instructors are dedicated and do a good job of planning their classes or following the structure of the Lex Mills programs.

This summer, First name removed is having the most incredible experience at the YMCA Outdoor Summer Camp. From the moment we arrived, we knew it would be something special. The camp is a perfect blend of adventure, learning, and fun.

The counselors are the heart and soul of this camp, and they truly made all the difference. Mr. Aiden, with his boundless energy, kindness and genuine passion for working with kids, was a standout. Our child would come home each day talking about the exciting activities and new skills they learned, all thanks to Mr. Aiden’s encouragement and guidance. His ability to connect with the campers on a personal level helped our child feel seen, heard, and valued.

We also can’t say enough about Ms. JoJo, the brilliant organizer and leader who runs everything so seamlessly. Her attention to detail and dedication to creating a positive environment for all the children is evident in every aspect of the camp. Ms. JoJo’s warmth and leadership foster a sense of community that made First name removed feel like they were part of something truly special.

This camp has been transformative for our child. We watched him blossom into a more confident and independent individual over the course of the summer. From overcoming challenges (such as passing his swim test to move to a yellow band) to taking on leadership roles during group activities, he has gained so much more than just new skills—he has gained a newfound belief in themselves.

The YMCA Outdoor Summer Camp has given our child memories that will last a lifetime and a stronger sense of self-worth that we know will carry him through the school year and beyond. We are deeply grateful to the amazing counselors, especially Mr. Aiden, and to the incredible Ms. JoJo for providing such a wonderful, enriching experience. This camp is truly a gem, and we can’t wait to return next summer!

I think it is a perfect place for activities.

We used the pool the other day and it was nice and clean. The staff is helpful and Jordan at the desk is a good guy.

Staff was friendly and welcoming.

You offer an abundance of opportunities to try new classes/programs at all times of the day. There is something for everyone.

It has been my personal experience that the Y employs exceptional humans that are non- judgmental, encouraging and committed to healthy lifestyles for the members as well as themselves.

The facility is very clean. The staff is attentive and friendly. The instructor was top notch.
