My kids had a great summer at camp

I liked how the day was structured and there was an activity for every interest

The summer camp was a huge success for my son. He joined during the last month and didnt miss a beat interacting with the other campers. He looked forward to everyday of camp and that's all I can ask for.

I love it, the kids love it. I see physical and mental growth. Exercise, swimming, creativity and exploring just to name a few things.

My son was extremely happy

Great staff who know how to connect well with the kids! And help them through any separation anxieties too

My child loved the camp, she is asking if she can come back next year and years after intil she becomes counselor.

Our son LOVED the Y Camp this summer. As parents, we loved that our son was in a safe, screen-free environment with a focus on fun and wellness. We were also impressed with all the “extra” activities such as the magician, Christmas in July, trick or treating, the bounce houses, and the fire truck visit. Miss Assia and Miss Karli have been wonderful! He has been genuinely excited to go to camp everyday. The only thing we would have liked more of was pool time!

Huge thanks to all Y staff for such a great first experience with your summer camp.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE West Chester YMCA summer camp FOR MY DAUGHTER!! This was our first year attending. When I picked her up from camp on the first day, she was smiling from ear to ear. Seeing her smile like that melted my heart! Every day she would tell me all the amazing activities she did, about the great counselors she interacted with, how her friends/new friends were doing, etc., It was such a positive experience.

We will definitely be coming back next summer and my youngest daughter will be joining her big sister! Thank you West Chester Area YMCA :)

many gentle yoga classes

friendly front desk staff

Instructors are so helpful and friendly. Large variety of classes

Group exercise classes. The offerings are good abd instructors are great

I like that your indoor competition pool has alot of open lap swimming time. I also like your back locker rooms. And I like that you have group ex classes in the gym, like Attack and Grit. It is more roomy and appropriate for those classes. And the front desk people in the early AM on weekdays are very friendly.

It is such a pleasure and a privilege to be able to share in the dynamic, family atmosphere at the Brandywine Y. It is so full of life with all ages participating in the rich schedule of activities. The staff are wonderful. Thank you every one.

The indoor pool especially the competitive pool is great. Many hours of 10 lanes swimming. It is clean temperature great
The locker room is clean always warm water floor almost always dry
Staff of front desk are very courteous and helpful
An awesome gym

I exercise on my own and have not participated in classes.

Love taking classes, especially combat and body pump, thank you to our great instructors!

Everything

Classes are great.
I would like to see the space markers used during COVID back in the AR and gym so other people know the proper spacing.

I like the variety of programs and community feel of the Y there is something got everyone. I just wish there were more group classes after work like pre pandemic.

The variety of classes and times that you offer.

I can’t recommend the West Chester Area Y highly enough. Our family benefits immensely from the programs for kids, including the camp, swimming and child watch. Everyone I’ve met who works and attends has been just lovely. The people at the camp are so caring and patient - our kids just love it. The child watch set up is so cool. The kids have a blast playing on the indoor climbing equipment.

I like and participate in mind-body classes and other wellness classes. I liked when classes were kept smaller. I will no longer attend classes in the small Mind-Body Studio in West Chester. They raised the maximum in the room to 22, which is too crowded for Yoga & Pilates classes in that small enclosed area. Max should be lowered back to 15. The upstairs Aerobics Studio is a large room, but 40 in that room is too many. We had 26 this morning for a class and it felt very crowded. I wear a mask going into the facility, but I do not want to go back to wearing a mask while participating in a class. You need to reinstate the 6 foot distance rule for classes again.
