Member Testimonials
Jay Gould has made an engaging, inclusive, wonderful culture for theatre at the Salem YMCA. All the campers supported each other, the programming was engaging, and my child came home daily happy and wanting to return the next day. The end of week performance celebrated each camper collectively and individually. Well done!
Amazing feedback from my child! It’s the second year at Salem Y and the staff is amazing, professional, kind, supportive! They are always ready to help and support the parents and the campers! Thank you all so very much for yet another amazing week!
Clean, accessible, local.

Great yoga class
Clean, attractive friendly staff. Vety good teachers and classes
The staff are so friendly & welcoming! Mary and Irene are standouts--such great communication and kindness!
Lots of activities to choose from for everyone.
I go to this Y primarily for the pool, which is almost never crowded, and well-maintained. I love that I can always get a lane. This is a laid-back, friendly place that doesn't have the frenzied, competitive, snobby feel of the Lynch/Van Otterloo Y.
The adult intro to pottery class is a joy. I’ve already recommended it to several acquaintances.
Best staff :) can’t wait till weight room is back :) I WOULD LIVE TO SEE BELLY DANCING COME BACK AS WELL :)
The YMCA is more than just a place to swim or workout for me. It is a community and a supportive and positive civic space. That is priceless.
My son is very connected with his teachers. He loves that he gets to do swimming and music class every week.
My son ADORES the ELC. He is learning and having fun there. The teachers are amazing and all love him almost as much as we do!

YMCA is amazing program, staff is young and friendly , Allí , Sallie , Ivone. Thank you so much 😊
I am happy to know that every morning my child is happy to go to the YMCA summer program. He loves it because it keeps him busy with all kind of activities. He starts to feel sad that only one week is left of the 5 weeks program.
Thank you for offering us this summer program for our children. Thank you to all YMCA summer program team and bus transportation.
The stuff members!
Great services, staff, and good price
Every staff member I've interacted with has been welcoming, helpful and personable. The YMCA offers a variety of classes, and the facility is clean.
The mix of academics and camp activities is great.
The instructors are phenomenal
Everything about this place is great. The yoga studios are great (as are the teachers, especially Paris), the changing rooms are super clean, the staff is so friendly and helpful. I especially appreciate that this Y has a "growth" strategy and is always trying new ideas and programs to meet members' (and future members') interests. The ceramics classes are a bit pricey, but I do hope to try them at some point. And while it's inconvenient that the weight room and cardio equipment are temporarily separately located right now, I believe it's worth it to have a good playground available for the kids on the roof. Great forward thinking on the part of management.
Harbor Quest has remained my daughter’s favorite camp for the second year running. She loves archery, low ropes, the ocean play / kayaking, and friends at camp. I love that kids get Summer Eats and I don’t have to pack lunch every day, and the staff are so caring and engaging with the kids. We’ll be back next year!
My child appreciates the structure and routine, and likes choosing the camp activities.
I love that it’s continued learning and that Owen just thinks it’s an extension of school. He has had nothing but good things to say about the program and the staff are extremely nice.
My son is having a great time at camp.
All the options that the students have.

Everything. Thank you for all you do.
