Member Testimonials
My daughter loved all the activities! She came home everyday happy and telling me about all the fun stuff she did.
Great summer program!
I appreciate that there are a good variety of activities, and the staff working with the kids have been great!
My kids come back very happy!
Field trips, communication, and genuine excitement the staff have toward the kids.
We have used the Y for swimming lessons now for 2 years and overall, we really like it.
I did want to provide one bit of information though in hopes it will help other parents. We signed our son up for 2 weeks' worth of private swimming lessons this year because he had phased out of what was offered at our location.
Unfortunately, towards the end of the first week's lessons, he developed an ear infection, needed medication, and the doctor advised him not to swim for a week. The problem though was that we could not get the aquatics director at the Thousand Oaks location to call us back once this happened. We tried to call him multiple times to see if we could reschedule the lessons and left multiple messages. He never did call us back, so we ended up going to the front desk at the Thousand Oaks YMCA location, and someone at the desk did help us reschedule.
Perhaps you could let families know who to contact if an emergency occurs during the week of swim lessons and rescheduling is needed (just to make things smoother)?
The counselor care for the kids and being able to communicate with parents

Time
My grand-daughter had a great time. She was sick on Wednesday and stayed home on Thursday, and the staff was wonderful in taking care of her until I could drive over to pick her up.
But the days she attended, she was so happy and thrilled with all the activities and the program.
Staff is great with my special needs son and therapist is welcome.
Excellent staff
Very clean and inviting facility. The instructors were all very pleasant.
My kids love it
They keep the kids busy and active. Which is why I choose to send the kids to a camp.
Sweet staff, no screens, a field trip or special activity every week
I really appreciated how organized the program was overall. The sign-in and sign-out process was very efficient, and I liked that staff asked for parent IDs every single time at pickup—it made me feel that my child’s safety was a top priority. The staff is always friendly and patient, even when dealing with all the energy that comes with a group of kids! My daughter really enjoys being in the program, and she especially looks forward to the weekly field trips—they’re a fun and enriching part of her week!
My son enjoyed the Museum Field Trip, Bubble Party, E-Gaming, and Arts and Crafts. He loved the staff and ability to meet new friends!
The staff at this location is great. My kid comes home singing songs and exhausted from all the activities. They do keep them engaged and I appreciate that.
The children are engaged every day, all day!
Kids love going there and beg to go.
Flexible timings for pickup & drop. Various activities.
Variety, constant, STEM related.
