My son says that he engaged in active learning which is interesting and fun at the same time! He very much enjoy his time at this program and he wakes up every morning eager to go!! So it’s awesome, and it motivates him to learn.
I like the setting with plenty of options for all kinds of play, beach, pool, archery, Gaga and so much more. I like that the kids are outside all day
Friendly and well resourced
great staff. Good . embers. gym needs more cable machines is a real negative
The YMCA camp program is one I would recommend to any parent looking for their kids to have a good time, explore, & open their minds to different possibilities & adventure. My child is new to the camp program and I’ve seen nothing but smiles and happiness from the time he goes into camp from the time he comes out. I love hearing new things that he’s done everyday with his peers & his staff. I am so thankful for this program and for everyone who helps make this program great for not only my child but to all families. Keep up the great work because as I said before you all make a tremendous difference in not only the children’s lives but in their memories as well. Thank you!
Variable offerings of activities. Convenient hours. Engaging weekly themes. Caring staff.
They are very organized and careful with children and teach him many things.
I love how when you walk in your greeted. My son and i both love the pool and my son also attends summer camp, and he loves it always comes home with a story to tell and awesome crafts that he does to put all around the house
Fun and active outdoor fun! Pool and beach access too! What’s not to love at Camp Harbor Quest?!
My son enjoyed the time there, never fought to stay home, and had good stories to share each day. He is a bit of a home body, but he had fun regardless and was quite excited to share his projects
Friendly, not crowded, well maintained modern equipment, pleasant work out spaces
Friendly and caring staff, great location.
There’s everything for everyone and every child. Especially when it comes to there needs.
I have great access to all facilities.
Location, clean, pleasant, lots of sides interesting activities to offer, in addition to sport…etc.
I like its flexibility to go to the different locations. Parking downtown a bit harder and should be free for the Y. Enjoy more swimming options maybe around 10 or 11. Thank you
Because its a neighborhood gym and its a great place to support. The more people join and continue to show up for classes, activities or just personal physical and exercise goals. The more likely hood the 2nd oldest Y in the country stays afloat.
Convenient; friendly people; good equipment in the gym.
Easy to get to, a friendly staff and many activities to chose from
My daughter comes home happy, filthy from having played all day and tried new activities, and she’s been making friends, including some from other classes in her grade. She loves exploring at the beach, arts and crafts, the splash pad, and playing Gaga. The only negative is the ice cream truck that insists on parking at the exit at pickup time.
I really appreciate how engaging and well-structured the program is. The variety of activities keeps the kids excited and constantly learning new things. I’ve noticed my daughter comes home talking about her day with so much joy, which shows how much she enjoys being there. I also love how the program focuses on both fun and development — it’s a great balance.
All the programs and activities you provide for children at the summer camp keeps them engaged, gets them to problem solve and work as a team. You guys have them going with different activities and programs all day and my child comes home so happy. She loves the ropes course, playing in the water finding crabs (bringing them home sometimes), gaga ball and so much more.
I like going to Salem because it is smaller and less chaotic than Beverly and Marblehead. The employees are really nice and the instructors are good.
I love going there to exercise because people are helpful and I feel comfortable there.
I use the Salem Y because it is in my neighborhood, and I mostly go for the weight room and sauna. The weight machines are well functionlng, and people are mostly good about cleaning them off. Also, I especially appreciate the fact that members can use the group fitness room when classes are not running. It's nice to have that extra space to stretch out or use the ballet barre! I've also used the pool in the past - which was great. The Salem Y is clean, and staff members are friendly and helpful. Thank you!
Wonderful atmosphere, The staff is very pleasant and helpful.
