Love the heated pool

Or kids had a great time again this year! They really liked the pool this year It's amazing that you were able to bring back sailing. More sailing options could be nice. The kids were also saying it would be nice if there were any lights at all in the lodge (maybe battery or solar?).

Great place to work out, convenient and always clean

Because I am very Happy with the Poolsnd the People / Instructors that I have worked with

My daughter absolutely loves the Rangers week at Children’s Island. It’s a must do camp for her each year. She loves the counselors and the ability to earn beads and badges. Izzy and Pilar were awesome!

My daughter loved Children’s Island! Choice time was her favorite!! Charlie and Avery were amazing counselors!!! So kind and funny!!! This was her first time attending but wants to go another week this August.

Loved the focus on nature and mix of activities-it was great to keep her off of screens all day :)

We loved the mix of inside and outside activities. The pool time and Gaga ball were talked about a lot as super fun!

I enjoy the water aerobics classes. I was disappointed to have been turned away from a class last week due to not enough lifeguards.

Clean, friendly, varied choice of classes

James had such a great time on CIDC this year. He loved exploring the island’s wildlife and had so much fun with his councilors and friends!!

My daughter is in gymnastics camp this summer and after school program during the school year. Staff is great and she loves it!

Scottie has always been so helpful and awesome with the kids!

I am so grateful that my son Gary attended this summer camp. They are the best — they take good care of Gary. They have great team members, who are very helpful, supportive, and respectful. The atmosphere is always positive. Every time I pick my son up, he tells me how awesome his day was, how much he loves going to the pool, and how he enjoys all kinds of activities.

There are a lot of options and they work with me financially so I can Afford them as a single mom! My child has learned to swim and I felt I could Afford to sign her up for multiple sessions!

Love the afterschool program and camp. All the counselors are incredibly,; thoughtful programing and organization; very clear communication. All around a fantastic experience and I appreciate everyone involved.

I like how program offers fun and age-appropriate activities for everyone. Kids get to make real, lasting friendships, and the counselors are fantastic — supportive, fun, and great role models.

Children’s Island Day Camp is the most wonderful program for Hendrix, especially the Rangers program. We’ve watched Hendrix grow and understand the responsibility of the Ranger to care for the island and we are so proud. We are also very excited about the sailing program this year.

Well run. Good people. Counselors are wonderful. Really care about the kids. Lots of varied activities to make sure everyone has fun. Sailing program is great ! Ranger late nigh is a nice touch.

My grandson comes home happy and worn out. Quite often he falls asleep right after dinner.

Keep up the great work!

My daughter absolutely loves her seal pup counselors. On the last day of camp, after two weeks, she was so sad to say goodbye to them. She loved camp so much she begged to do an additional week! She has learned and shown so much more independence since going to children’s island. We will likely send her to this camp every summer.

My daughter has been enjoying YMCA camp for the last few years in Salem and Beverly, but Children's Island Camp is such a unique and enriching experience for her. The best part is the large amount of unstructured free play the kids have to explore, swim, and play. It is so important for their imaginative and cognitive skills. She is having an absolute blast.

It’s so rewarding seeing both my children come out to the island and love it just the way I did. Thank you all for continuing to run a truly remarkable program.

Superb facilities well maintained and great staff.

Substantial amount of parking space, clean facility, good maintained equipment, professional staff, knowledgeable instructors, high level of safety in pools and convenient location.

Great facility

I’ve been coming to this wife for over six years, the only issue I’ve had was this past June when I reached out at the end of May after I broke my left big toe and paused my gym membership, which never got paused. I’m hopeful that on the next billing cycle, you omit my payment so that I don’t have to Wrestle further with this issue. Thanks.

I love this facility!!!

My kids have fun every day!

Great instructors

Top Notch! Both children love coming to camp and making memories!

Variety of programs, draw a a broad spectrum of community, managing well during renovation
