Classes with Mimi, Monica, and Judith from Melrose are always exceptional. Top notch!!!
Cleanliness of the facility is exceptional and staff very helpful. Offers a wide variety of classess.
My daughter enjoys her time there
My child seems very engaged and happy when she comes home. Seems like there is a lot of different activities to choose from and she never seemed unhappy or bored.
I truly thought the counselors were wonderful. They were professional, disciplined with kindness and my granddaughter Rose loved it.
My feedback is that the aftercare/extended day needs to be opened up to more kids.
Thank you

Organized, fun, flexible, safe.
Quiet while working out. Very respectful atmosphere
You keep the kids very active and outdoors. I love how frequently the kids are able to go swimming compared to other YMCA camps. My son is having a great summer at camp!
Coach and staffs
Jen is a fantastic pickle ball coach! You should really sign up for a class with her.
Jenn who teaches pickleball is great! She offers clear instructions, is a kind teacher, and takes a student-centered approach to creating and managing her classes.
Swimming and time spent outdoors
Jess was so helpful with us this summer, and helping us throughout the camp program.
Ms. Jessica and team are amazing! The love and passion they have for both the children and the job is great. My daughter always looking forward to start of the day.
Love Zumba gold with Robin and the Sunday morning tone and Zumba with Cheryl. Gentle yoga with Mimi is great . I do like the Stay Fit with Monica glad there is a class with weights for the seniors.
My 4 year old has been loving his experience at Camp Hillside! Every morning he is greeted with a smile and excitement about the day ahead. Most days he comes home tired, dirty and full of stories about all the fun things he did that day. Many days have been branded “today was the best day ever”. Highlights include lots of pool time, making slime , and playing games with “my friends and counselors”. Shout out to Jessica and Jenn for a well run program and shout out to the young people who are spending their summer as counselors!
How my child is treated
Love Zumba and barre class with Heather. I really wish Diana's Kick and Pump class would come back to the Saugus Y for an evening class.
My girls are constantly being engaged and moved around from each station. It holds their attention better and I appreciate the smaller class size.
I love the gym and times available!
Coach Daniel is amazing and my daughter is learning so much and loving her class!
the guys are amazing, the coaches are very professional and attentive to the gymnasts

The availability of many classes! The diversity of ages within the classes‼️
