Member Testimonials
Family oriented. Classes are not extra charge.
Our boys had such a great time at Camp on the Lake. They loved trying new water activities like sailing and tubing. It was such a great way to introduce them to some of the activities that they'll take part in at YMCA Camp Grady Spruce.
The staff/front desk did an excellent job with the situation of our membership. Very efficient and handled the situation superbly
This season was the best. Instructor Sergio was very nice and friendly, my daughter had the best experience 🙂
My child loved it! Can’t wait to go back!
The swim instructor Sergio did a great job. My 2 children were a bit nervous, but he made it fun for them. They had a great time and improved their swim strokes and diving skills.
I only used the outdoor pool area, but it was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful.
The equipment is in excellent condition. The entire staff treats everyone like family. I especially appreciate the chair yoga & mobility instructor. She is 1 of the reasons I come to this site.
My kids were at first reluctant to go. We had already signed up for various sports camps weekly and were initially more interested in those camps. But once they got their feet wet at YMCA camp on the lake, they loved it so much they asked to go back again. They met new friends, enjoyed a bunch of different activities they would not have experienced otherwise and enjoyed the outdoors. I highly recommend it to all friends and family
Welcomed with a smile and enthusiasm.
great value, kind staff, my kid had a blast
We love our local Y. It’s just a few minutes from our house so it doesn’t feel like a huge slog to get there, and I love everyone who works there. My daughter goes to childcare and everyone is so great with her, which is a huge relief to me because she’s a barnacle baby. They offer a great assortment of classes and my favorite instructor, Kylie, is so knowledgeable about the human body and how it moves. I’m probably the youngest person in most of the classes I attend, and it’s been great to have examples of older women taking care of their bodies in that way. We love the Y so much that I convinced a friend in Rockwall to sign her family up for a membership there, and now we can take classes together when our schedules line up!
Clean family-friendly spot.
As a senior adult, I consider this "my sanctuary"! My class mates are wonderful and we don't feel the need to "dress the part" or make sure we do everything exactly like the class instructor. We are given such positive energy for "just moving" and assuring our younger participants they are awesome! I would have a low incentive for having a purposeful life without my YMCA. TYSM and blessings to you all!!!!! Woo Hoo! Can't wait til tomorrow!
It was well organized and my child was able to have a variety of new experiences.
Attentive counselors and staff, providing outdoor fun during summer breaks
The counselors and staff were so professional and energetic, and did a great job building relationships with my kids. And the programs and activities are unmatched! My kids had an amazing two weeks!
You can plan your own exercise program.
I enjoyed my workout at the Y. Normally I visit the Coppell location but this time it was closer to me. I love that their pool is open for the summer and that the child care offers different activities for the kids. Will definitely be back. The staff was very friendly and made my day.
A camp that introduces my kids to new skills and experiences- outside and not technology related. The girls loved it. I would not sign my kids up during July as it is just too hot! The last week of May was perfect as it wasn’t too hot.
Both of our kids had a blast--each day! They got to try new things, and do things they loved. They were active all day. They learned silly & fun songs. They made fun crafts. We trusted they were cared for by trained leaders. We value outdoor time, so this camp was perfect!
Kids 1st
It's always a happy place, filled with nice people, both members and staff. The staff is always attentive, pleasant, and helpful.
Excellent facility with excellent staff
Don’t have same counselor week after week. Space out water activities and have more of them.
Counselors are great and super engaging. Fury, Toothless, Nestle and fabulous.
Great time for my kiddos!! They came home exhausted and had so much fun
Outdoor pool and Zumba classes. Friendly members and staff.
My daughter had such a great time! The staff seemed very kind and helpful. This was her first summer with camp at the lake and we are so glad we signed up for two sessions!
Cross Timbers YMCA is family. The people and staff are very friendly and caring. I started in 2011 with Livestrong and have been active since. My husband and my sister are also members. We always look forward to going to Cross Timbers to see our many friends and exercise. Many activities are focused on the Ysr's. The wellness staff teaches classes that they adjust to the needs of the students.
We liked that the activities were all outdoors and unique from other camps.
