Member Testimonials
Great facility, friendly staff.
My girls are strong swimmers but their technique was lacking. Over the summer I have seen them speed through the water because their technique is so much better.
Susan is the best!! We love her teaching style.
Plenty of attention from the instructors. A kind attentive environment where each child’s abilities were understood and enhanced. Program director/scheduling director was extremely flexible, responsive, and understanding. Amazing personalized customer service in building my child’s calendar of classes.
My daughter did one week of Children's Island camp and absolutely loved it. She declared it the best camp she's ever attended. Thanks for a great week!
The staffing is excellent, and patient and kind. And the sports programs are challenging, without being intimidating for newcomer.
There is so much to do for seniors!
This was our first year, and my son LOVED the activities! We the parents loved how well run it was, and how much attention was paid to ensuring kids were able to be their best. Thank you!! We can't wait for next year!
Everything. My son loves Children's Island and everything they do on the island. He's so happy!
It is a friendly place with many options for health and community making, great exercise instructors, and usually clean.
Women's dressing room lockers stink and why build a sauna that is so small?
Otherwise, love the place.
My daughter Morgan looks forward to Children's Island every summer and especially Rangers camp! Counselors are wonderful! So many activities, games and creativity happening...she has never once come off the boat having a bad day at camp.
Had an amazing 3 weeks! Looking forward to coming back next year!
Counselors are great - really engaged and invested in making sure each kid has fun - whatever “fun” means to that specific kid
The summer at the LVO YMCA camp has been wonderful. The staff are so caring, fun and keep the activities exciting and engaging. I love that my child has been able to be in a consistent environment, make new friends and enjoy the summer.
I felt very supported by the staff. I believe my daughter had a lot of fun in her day camp.
Great activities, my child enjoyed going to camp everyday!
Our daughter absolutely loved Childrens Island! The activities were great and she had an awesome time for the two weeks she was there. Counselors were spectacular!
Magical island, that lets kids be kids ❤️ No technology required.
We love our YMCA so much
You’re the best
We love the Y! The teachers and staff are great.
Class availability, cleanliness, very nice staff.
We love the combination of fun and learning for our child. He has always come home with new skills, interests, vocabulary, stories, and signs of learning all while being completely happy and comfortable at school and with the entire staff. His teachers have been kind, attentive, structured, and have helped our child through some developmental stages. We love the administration and their general competence, organization, and willingness to be compassionate and helpful; they have always been professional without being rigid.
Kids had so much fun. Counselors are so energetic and engaged and our kids easily bounded with them and their fellow campers.
Kids had a blast, the staff was well trained, drop off was well organized.
My son had a great summer. He was swimming in the pool every day, played different sports, did strength exercises. He enjoyed having new friends. Every day was busy. Even when the weather was very hot outside, I knew it would be great for kids to be in the gym with the air conditioner. The staff was attentive to parents' questions too.
Camps for 7yrs!!! Always transparent, appropriate, informative and above all safe & FUN!!!!
My daughter has been having a great time at summer camp! Love the staff :-)
I love coming to theY. Y offers diverse opportunities to get, stay in shape and have a positive lifestyle. Also, Y reaches out to all members of community - extremely inclusive!
Wish there were more exercise classes on weekend mornings.
Our daughter had a fantastic time as a CIT on Children's Island!
It is a great facility with many great programs. However, it is difficult to get needed information. The N. Shore YMCA website is very clunky - difficult to use. And when you call your general information number, your voicemail system is difficult to navigate. It would be quite simple to say press 0 for operator.at the welcome center. And if you leave voicemail on 2, 4, 5 it's very difficult to get a call back. Communication is the worst part of the Y experience in my opinion.

The facilities are state of the art. The fitness center is spacious and well maintained. The locker room facilities are the cleanest and best maintained I have ever seen. The staff are friendly, helpful and professional. The parking is adequate. I only regret I dod not switch over to the Marblehead Y sooner.
