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.
Everything, the councilors are amazing to all the kids
Variety, organization, hours, cost, location
My son was at camp all summer and he said he gave it 5 stars! He was excited to go in the morning and he enjoyed the games.
My daughter loved all of the activities and the counselors. They do an excellent job really caring for the kids around them. I would definitely recommend this camp and would have my daughter go back.
We love that camp CM is pure “old fashion” camp. The specialist are great. They love trying the new zip line stuff. The fun games, pool floats
Jadalyn always talks about a variety of crafts and activities she gets to take part in! She is so happy with camp. She especially loved finally going boating at Camp Dory, and is excited to maybe even try swimming at Camp Cedar Mill. Thank you!
This camp seemed much more organized than my previous experiences with the YMCA. The kids felt safe and had fun. Thanks for all your hard work.
The classes start on time, the instructors reinforce pool safety at every class, and most importantly, my kids made more progress in 2 classes with the Y program than they did in 2 years of other private swim lesson programs.
Best summer camp ever!
Very good teachers, welcoming environment, and good community feeling.
I like the laid-back pace of the parent-child swim. Miss Lisa is great! I also really appreciate how many lifeguards are always there and attentive, and the outdoor pool and splash pad are amazing.
I work at the Y and highly recommend the Y.
My Grandson loved camp. He went 2 weeks this summer. He had a great time. Counselors were wonderful
Everything! Well done!
The indoor and outdoor pools are the best in the area! I also like that there's an option to swim at Cedar Mill.
The swim instructors are wonderful, and I like that my child is able to practice swimming without wearing a bubble.
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.
