Member Testimonials
The staff is wonderful with the kids and they make it a very fun experience. I highly recommend the YMCA for a lot of their activities.
My daughter LOVED this camp! There was so much to do, the counselors were super friendly and made a nervous parent feel at ease. Thank you for keeping her safe and helping her learn. We will definitely be back next year!
My camper loved the activities and the overall structure of the camp. My only ask is that you bring back the implementation of allowing friends attending the camp together be in the same group. This was a big reason why we chose this camp in the first place. I understand it would require more strategic planning and work on your end, but it can be done especially if we are signing up months before the camp begins. We pay a lot of money for this camp and this simple ask should try to be accommodated.
Coaches, team mates, swim parent group
My kids have had a fantastic time so far at New Discoveries. They love the activities and all of the camp counselors.
They are well-staffed so it feels like there are a good amount of counselors that are really there to greet campers and interact with them thoughtfully throughout the day. The activities for every week and theme seem well thought out and everyone is very friendly and enhusiastic.
Very effective for kids great coaches
Good coaching
Camp at the Lake provides my children with the opportunity to spend their summer outdoors in a beautiful environment, no screens in sight & playing with other kids.
I enjoyed that the tryout was prompt and informative. The coach were pleasant, gave precise instructions to the children trying out, and told them what a was expected of them.
We love the Camp at the Lake. Our daughter has the best time there. the waterpark is amazing. We also really enjoyed family day. I wish there were more family day opportunities but I understand the counselors also want the weekends off. Looking forward to coming back next year.

My Medicare Advantage pays for it, and I can walk there. Plus, equipment is top notch and facility and staff are welcoming.
Clean spacious well maintained friendly
Women’s locker rooms, showers, bathroom and two saunas are always clean!
Large pool is a cool but comfortable temperature and chlorine is not too strong.
The exercise equipment is in good condition and clean. Users generally wipe down the equipment after using it.
The senior membership is an excellent price.
Employees are friendly.
Great customer service. Informative information. Very clean facility.
I appreciate the range of classes that are offered
The people who work there & the members.
Friendly staff
lots of options for working out, classes etc
always something happening!
Front desk is always friendly and helpful - even at 5:30 AM! Strength training equipment is more than adequate, although it can get a bit crowded at times (after 6 AM, Weekends etc.).
The equipment is varied and of a high quality. The variety of classes are excellent and offer opportunities for all levels of interests and abilities.
Affordability
This was my son’s first year at Explorers and the experience has been amazing! He’s so excited for camp each day and can’t wait to tell us all about the trips when he gets home. We were nervous about the transition to being with older campers but the staff have created an environment where the kids can engage freely and foster new friendships. Our son is already excited and looking forward to next summer!
Great classes, excellent staff, very good value
This was our first camp experience and we've been very happy with how organized it has been from drop off to pick up and all the communication in between. My son comes home happy every day and can't wait to tell us about the new things he learned or he did. And we're more than thrilled that his swimming has finally gotten to the point where he's getting comfortable in the water without a life jacket. , which is exactly what we wanted this summer.
We've been members of the YMCA on Park Street for years and enjoy going. Staff is friendly and helpful, the facilities are clean and well kept, machines have been upgraded and work well. We feel very lucky to have this facility in our town!
Love it!
