I love that the kids have swim class and movement. We have been at the Y since my daughter was 4.5 months and her teachers have been so caring and great with her. I also truly appreciated the partnership with her teachers as we worked through diagnosing various food allergies and implementing a safety plan. We love the Y!

My son loves camp. The staff is also friendly and informative. And I am so grateful for the financial assistance. Thanks for making this possible for us!
Because it is nearby me and neighbors
I love the news letters and knowing what activities the kids are doing. I love that it’s in Forrest river and that the kids have access to water activities! My daughter looks forward every week to the new themes!
My son Quinlan loves going to camp! The counsellors and the Director Jeremy are great with communication with the parents and make the overall experience really fun.
My son raves about the archery, swimming pool and gaga ball pit. When he gets home at night, he is tired and dirty which is what every mom wants as it’s a sign that their child is enjoying the great outdoors!
He has made lasting friendships. He goes to school outside of Salem and I’m so happy he has friends in the same city where he lives!
Water aerobic classes and latest addition aqua Zumba! These classes have great instructors, great participants and you get great results from participating. Fun, engaging, energizing and refreshing exercise experience in cool waters of the pool. Music, dance, exercise all in water who could ask for more.
Please please bring back the chest fly/ pec deck machine!
