It has something for everyone and is a first class organization that is very responsive to its members. It continuity tweaks the offerings to stay up to date and meet changing times and demands. .
The Y has everything I need and the people that work there are fantastic and know what they are doing
I love how much time the kids spend outside at Sterling Woods, and that they spend time in the real woods. There are lots of different activities (high ropes, low ropes, boating, STEAM, swimming EVERY day) that set Sterling Woods apart from other camps and even other Y camps in the area.
The staff also have very low turnover (lots of returning staff every summer), and they are excited to see returning kids year after year which helps so much with transitions.
Friendly staff and convenient hours

I love the Y It offers a wide variety of healthy activities and in Salem has a great level of cultural diversity
The curriculum was great. Staff was friendly and most important they focused on the students and not on devices or chatting. We only had three classes due to late sign up and can’t wait to come back!
We loved parent/child gymnastics at Beverly, however during the Summer it was difficult to keep the younger children out of the way of all of the girls and boys in the Summer camps ! They would often run straight through the areas the littlest ones were in and use the equipment the children were being told to stay off of even if it wasn’t something their camp was currently working with. I just hope that maybe there could be a more organized or designated path to allow all camps access to the opposite side of the gym without cutting straight through the little kids. My daughter was run into by a younger girl about 12 years old and while no harm no foul accidents happened— the older girl had cut straight through the area that the teacher had told us to be in with our own children. We loved our experience overall and will be back !
I love that everyone is encouraged to play because it is community-based. It’s a great place to learn more about a sport ♥️

My son loved camp! He was kept busy and came home dirty and tired every day!
The price fix, Thank you YMCA
