The variety of activities and the great staff.
The kids loved how busy they were all day! The variety in the types of activities was a lot of fun for them. They came home with so many stories and experiences. Even though my children are different ages, they were able to interact a little bit but still got a lot of time with kids their own age, which I think is a great combination. The only thing that they regretted was not having more time in the huge swimming pool - sometimes, their block was only about 20 minutes, but they did acknowledge that there so many kids there that they all had to have a turn, so they seemed to understand.
Nice facilities and sense of community
The staff at the Ipswich YMCA have been wonderful. From the front desk, to the lifeguards, to the childcare staff, everyone has been more than happy to help with a smile on their face. It's refreshing to be around such great customer service!
A great place to exercise and meet people. Offers programs for all ages. The Y is very involved in the community and does more to help people than I think is realized.
Staff was super friendly and welcoming to my family. Kids really enjoyed the outdoor aquatic center, so we will definitely be visiting again !
The outdoor pool is fantastic!
We love our time at camp Cedar mill. My son gets so sad when it’s his last day. He makes so many new friends from neighboring communities, and he loves getting into all the themes. We can’t wait till next year!
This was my kids 2nd time here and they LOVED it! I wish they could do all summer but I am a teacher and poor. They were mad it was only for the week.
friendly, helpful staff. Lifeguards are attentive to swimmers in pools.
Our kids love the Y, especially for the pools. And we're happy to have a membership that covers a few different locations on the North Shore. I also utilize the Y for the pickle ball. Thank you!
All Camp Staff on site at Camp Dory are GREAT!!
has lots to offer to all ages
My kids enjoy their time at the Cedar Mill Camp during the week. They are able to connect well with their counselors and have also been making new friends. Highly recommend Cedar Mill!
Good healthy,friendly place...Good programs
Reasonable price
Great child care
Kids classes
Pool
It’s family friendly with a great pool!
We love the size of the classes being a bit smaller (as well as the pool) so our kiddos are not as overwhelmed for swimming! The proximity to our house in Topsfield is also a huge help. And the outdoor splash pad is such a cool feature for summer months when we're not sure what to do with the hot, hot days!

Wide range of fun activities, especially swimming
