Traditional camp days mix arts and crafts, group games, nature exploration, swimming and field trips, typically running 9:00am–4:00pm, with optional Before & After Camp Care (Fun Club) extending hours from 7:00am to 6:00pm.

★★★★Janie PickettAn older building, older facilities, but equipment is sharp and classes are varied and helpful. I especially appreciate working with one of their trainers for personalized help keeping fit. Not inexpensive, but if good health is a priority, you can do it here!
★★★★★Eric BeckTheir camp program has been great for my two girls. My kiddos also have special needs (autism) and their camp is excellent with them. They both really look forward to going there.
★★StevenWe went to take a tour of this YMCA location because we were interested in the family membership. The staff were friendly and showed us around, but the facilities were quite worn down and the clientele was mostly a very old crowd. Which isn’t inherently a bad thing, but the vibes were dead. Absolutely no atmosphere at all. Once again, nice staff, but we are hesitating on joining because this place needs a re-vamp. Also, it’s strange that they keep your drivers licenses during the tour. We had to wait for them to be handed back.
★Jyoti BehuraExtremely terrible place for summer camp. Their refund policy is simply the worst. What's worse is their response to my inquiry for a refund. When I asked about the cancellation policy, they responded with "no refunds within 2 weeks" but more importantly jumped to the conclusion that my daughter will not be attending the camp by adding "we will notify the administrator that your daughter will not be attending the camp"! We will make sure that we will attend this camp we paid for, but will never ever...I mean never ever...attend any YMCA camps or events.
★★★★★eric bBest kept basketball court floors in the area. I wish other Y's maintained their gym floors this well. Staff are courteous and helpful. I do wish that there were more free weights, however there's enough equipment and space for a great workout between all of the rooms and pool. I've seen guests get frustrated when told that a room closes 15 minutes before the entire facility does. The signage with this info is too small and easily missed. My suggestion is to post BIG signs that communicate such details. Thus, folks can plan their workouts accordingly. Otherwise, it can feel like you're being hurried out without a just reason. Thank you for caring and being great! With some minor tweaks you can offer even greater experiences to guests!!!
