Member Testimonials
Its clan, welcoming, talented instructors and accessible.
My grand daughter has enjoyed her time at summer camp and loves being outside. They have kept her busy and active which is perfect for her.
Our son just had a really nice time and activities, and the counselor team seemed to be very strong and great with the kids.
Our daughter returned everyday happy, dusty, and tired-- just how summer days should end!
Everything! The staff is engaging and communicative. I feel like Sebastian comes home with new stories every week. You worked on tornados months ago and he is still talking about them. Basically, I feel as though my child is learning in a safe and fun enviornment.
Community. location and cost.
Even though it was extremely hot this summer my children came home happy with no complaints. The use of the double pool time on extremely hot days was awesome according to my children. They enjoy every activity that they have done so far. Also, the communication about the weeks of camp, updates on heat advisories and weekly emails have helped up stay organized for what the kids need each week. Thank you so much for keeping my kids happy, healthy and active!

My daughter has enjoyed her time at camp
Close to home, engaging, daughter's friends are there, love the counselors and staff
My son enjoyed camp and everything was so easy- registration, drop off and pick ups, communicating with camp staff- all effortless and no stress
My son absolutely loved Camp Dory! It was a great place for him to be himself, get dirty, jump in a lake, and make new friends. He would come home everyday with stories about his day, including counselors getting slimed with hot dog ice cream and winning gaga ball tournaments. He never once complained about missing his iPad because for him, Camp Dory was so much better than a silly game he could play on a screen. Everyday he came home happy, tired, and dirty, and that's what summer should be for an 8 year old.
Great For families
Double swim during heat.
We love the friendly staff and how we feel like a part of a community when there. My kids are safe there, encouraged and nurtured. The water park was amazing this summer for the little kids in our family and the open gym and basketball programs were so much fun for my 13 year olds. The YMCA has something for everyone ! We are SO thankful
Cedar Mill is great. The pool updates look fantastic. More camp songs
My daughter took part of your reading and literacy program and she had a great time. I'm very sad that she won't qualify for the program next year. She had a fun time at the YMCA program and was very sad to be done for the summer.
In our world of high prices and constant sales pressure, the Ipswich Y provides significant value for the cost of membership. They offer a full range of exercise classes, fitness space & equipment, and skilled personal trainers and staff for all ages.
Great classes and people! Clean facility. Good variety. Love the child care!
My son has been having a blast at summer camp! He tells me all the things they do and how much fun it is. Thanks for making his summer FUN!

Direct from the Camper: “I liked archery, the pool and the ‘Wilderness’ activities.”
From Parents: Pick up and drop off is easy and very coordinated. Flexible pick up time is helpful.
