Member Testimonials
My daughter had a great time. She loved the counselors and most of the activities. I asked her least favorite part and she said "Wilderness," but then was adamant that I add that it was not because of the counselor—she really liked the person leading Wilderness—she just didn't love the activities. My only issue this summer was that it was hard to get in touch with the office when I needed to (early pickup confirmation, etc.)—had to call many times before anyone answered. This wasn't a big deal, but if I needed to reach them in an emergency, I guess I would have had to drive there...
People are friendly. Missy greets everyone with a warm smile.
The water aerobics are important offerings to me and I am looking forward to trying those classes.
When I contacted the Y to rejoin, I was in touch with Farrah Dube Parent to obtain information. She was not only professional but very accommodating and answered all my questions.
The water park was awesome and the front desk person was friendly. I wish there were some sort of cafe but at least there's the vending machines. I brought little kids to the water park and there were some older kids being a little rowdy in the water slide/splash pad area. I know there's not a lifeguard stationed there, but perhaps an occasional check-in from staff would keep things safer for the little ones?
Yes, they are awesome and friendly.

Awesome
Keeping kids moving
The pools are wonderful. I enjoy weekly lap swimming; my adult children love the outdoor pool for their little ones.
Speaking of which, my 4 year old grandson has requested another "jungle jim" for the front yard near the gazebo. He loves making a stop at the medal dome before going home and would like more to do. I agree with his thinking.
That area needs enhancement; it is neither this nor that, just a few unrelated items put in the same place. It shouldn't take too much to make it more attractive and user-friendly. In addition to a second climbing/swinging item, a bench for care-givers watching the kids would be helpful.
I love that you keep the kids busy mostly all day long. They come home dirty, tired and happy. I love that they are always outside and only inside if absolutely necessary. My only complaint: a camp counselor pulling into the lot at camp cedar mill passed our car on the RIGHT to get get to a spot,while my daughter was getting out of the car during drop off. Disappointing that the counselor couldn’t wait 1-2 min more, just until my daughter could get out safely.
I'm really impressed at how the counselors engage all the kids and keep them busy and active all day
Pool was great (glad to have it finally be open -- it made all the difference in our kids liking camp!)
The aquatic program is wonderful!
Awesome outdoor pool and water park!
Loving Pickleball!
When cold weather returns I will, again, workout in fitness/weights area and, maybe, classes.
Nice people at Ipswich YMCA - members and staff.
A great environment! Clean and great personnel!
People have been so friendly and helpful every time I have walked through the doors!
It is a manageable size with all the activities I am interested in (swimming lessons, lap swimming, recreational swimming, pickleball, and more. The location is also easy for me to get to from Hamilton.
Well organized with friendly staff!
Loved having the option of outdoor swim lessons in Rowley (closer to us in Newburyport), and Angus is a fantastic instructor for kids - very patient and works with them at their comfort level while making it fun for everyone.
Cindy is a great swim coach. She fosters hard work, sportsmanship and commitment on the swim team.
Loved the pictures. Counselors very friendly.
We appreciate all that camp staff does to make camp fun and inclusive.

Your outdoor water recreation area was a blast for our whole family!
