Member Testimonials
You are doing a great job.
We love the mix of activities, a good, old fashioned camp experience, as opposed to focusing in on one skill or something.
Great place to make friends!
My son loved his experience. The camp counselors were very nice!
I am glad this program exists. It is affordable and well organized.
Boys love swimming and arts and crafts. Staff is very accommodating for kids who need extra attention and limits!
I love knowing that my kiddo is going to have a great day, rain or shine, when I drop him off in the morning. And if we end up having a low key evening at home recovering from a long day at work, I don’t feel as guilty when I know he spent the day at the lake swimming with his friends and doing crafts, which he loves. Thank you for creating this fabulous environment for our little ones. We appreciate all you do!
Kids are having so much fun!!
Our kids love Camp Dory!
Friendly staff - great outdoor water activities
It is indeed a family at my favourite centre, the Y in Ipswich!
It’s convenient and the staff is very helpful and friendly
Lisa is a great calm teacher for the preschoolers
Splash pad has a level for ages.
Plenty of lifeguards at the pools. They are present and keep watch but don't overdo it. The splash pads have been great for my granddaughter and she just joined both gymnastics and a swimming class. Having all these options is what is great about the Y.
The supportive, inclusive, and nurturing environment has produced an unseen confidence in both of our kiddos. Prior to Dory both of our kiddos were water shy/anxious, and already now in week 4, they are both playing in the waves at the beach, swimming in the ocean and excitedly going to swim at the Y. They come home each day with new adventures and tales of humor from camp and most importantly are excited each day to go back :-). The staff has worked closely with us to tailor needs based on our kiddos learning and social emotional make ups. They both feel part of the community in a way unseen by us at other camps in past years we have tried. Thank you!
The y is very friendly. I do wish it would really be available to all,
Friendly clean helpful staff
So far, so good.
We’ve enjoyed our membership since moving to the north shore.
Clean and the staff were friendly
Really good experience I recommend everyone of my friends and colleagues to come join us in YMCA
We rejoined the Ipswich Y after Covid and we have enjoyed exercising throughout the year despite the weather. The staff is friendly, welcoming and helpful, especially the woman at the front desk who greets us every time. We love the new treadmills, spin bikes and pickle ball indoors, We look forward to trying some classes and bringing our family to the new water park. Our fitness level has increased and we are motivated to continue. The Y is really better than ever!
