My kids have a wonderful time in a safe enviroment
Kids had a great time, felt safe. My youngest enjoyed the awards. They liked the activities and swimming. Felt supported and met new friends!
The friendliest of the staff and the ease of access
The community, instructors, and a variety of group fitness classes. Rodney is one of my favorite instructors because of his passion and charisma.
I've loved my experience so far! Classes aren't too full and instructors have been great! I appreciate the convenience of being able to sign up or cancel ahead of time. The facilities are always very clean as well. Highly recommend the Poole YMCA!!

After school programming through middle school with transportation from Garner schools = lifesaver for me as a working parent
My daughter leaves the Y laughing and joking with other kids and the Y staff
It is clean!! The atmosphere seems low key. I love watching the kids st the pool!
My daughter, rising first grader, is attending for her 2nd year and has really enjoyed the camp.
I have a rising K, who's sensory sensitivity and the fast paced fun environment has been a struggle for him. I completely understand the ratio requirements and I am not putting this on the camp counselors themselves, but there is a gap in the market for a lower ratio camp options with less stimulus for children who may need to smaller environments. I would love to see a place like the YMCA offer something like this, even if it's a more costly, it would be helpful.
The Y has the right priorities when it comes to a child’s experience. They put so much heart into each and every day with their campers.
My child came home happy every day! She is looking forward to her next week at the Y!
Great staff, fun activities including water days for kids

Convinces and friendly staff and multiply exercise classes
I actually already DID recommend your day camps to a family. I love that you have programs for kids up to age 13. tweens still need fun and structure in a safe environment.
We like that it's a safe family space. It's clean and well maintained. Staff is friendly and helpful. Our son has enjoyed programs such as basketball and day camps. We love the swimming pool.
Spin classes, elliptical equipment, pool, friendly staff, clean facilities.

We are so glad to be back at the YMCA. Kim did a great job getting everything set up for us!
