Member Testimonials
Lots of activities. Formal classes and open gym. There are sometimes where I’ve noticed child successes in classes are very dependent on the engagement level of the instructor.
AWESOME PICKLEBALL!
I like having an indoor space to play pickleball.
I like the reasonable pricing and, location is perfect for my family and i. My daughter loved her archery class but we didn’t see it as an option for the recent open season.
It is great knowing there are so many classes to go to. Instructors are wonderful. If there is any question you may have just ask Francine at the front desk. Great place to be.
I like the Saugus y outdoor pool. I have been a member for 43 years. Although there have been a lot of changes over the years I still feel for my family and me it is the best way to spend. my summers.
My daughter loves gymnastics classes and Hillside camp!
The counselors are very friendly with the kids and make them feel comfortable. I personally like that they keep them outside to do what they want and the programs are fun.
The best thing about the Y camps is the longer hours and lower pricing than you'll find at most camps. My son also appreciates the variety of activities each day.
This is our first time doing summer camp. Our daughter is 5 and has absolutely loved every single day so far!
Our son had a lot of fun at camp this year. He’s been going since 2023. A great choice!
they are just so inclusive
This was my kids first week they didn’t complain once they always said they had fun. I love how busy they stay and how every week is a new theme with fun stuff for them to do
The staff are great and always welcoming!
All activities prepared and that kids spend more outside is the best. My child loves it
My children love the program and the counselors.
Variety to choose from. Although I don't need them now, love how there are programs to help with child care. Friendly staff. Low cost. Nice facility. Parking!
My sons love the pool, arts and crafts, the counselors, and the playground! They look forward to it every summer now :)
I was a bit hesitant to send my 4-year-old being on the younger side, however he was so well taken care of and he loves camp! Jessica especially was attentive and sweet to him - we will be back in August!!
I like that the kids get to spend so much time outside and doing water activities. I also like that there is special programming/events each week.
Love this place always on top of the children and staff is wonderfull
Keeps kids busy and tires them out.
The lifeguards are great and the vibe is even better this year with the music!
We love how active Cole is ! Megan & Chris have been amazing leaders for years and I couldn’t ask for better counselors for my son. Jess is always organized and communicative with all upcoming schedules and updates as needed. My son has been at the Y since he was 2(now almost 7) and STILL loves going. I could never thank these people enough!
The classes, the staff and the environment!
Outdoor time and activities, pool time, fun counselors!
The kids have fun all day, Jessica Neeley and her amazing team handled the heat wave great, the kids were not sunburned or dehydrated and had great days being outside much of the day. Kids come home dirty and tired and happy, the point of camp!
Ease of drop off and pick up
Our little one has a great time each day
She's learning new camp songs and games
Many exercises classes went to stay fit x seems good. I want to try Mat Pilates the Senior Center in Wakefield has a Pilates Gold that was a great workout. Starts @ 10 am though & I like earlier maybe 7 or 7 30 sometimes.

I like the gymnastics programs.
I wish you guys had an indoor pool though.
