Private
The NorthWest Family YMCA at 1501 Kennerly Road in Irmo, a branch of the YMCA of Columbia, runs a full-day traditional summer camp for ages 4-12 from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. The 2026 season runs May 26 through August 7. Campers play sports and games, make crafts, run science experiments, swim in the indoor pool, use the splashpad, take nature hikes, and go on field trips through the summer. Registration must be completed three days before a camp week starts.

★Makayla HarrisYou pay so much money and 90% of the pool is closed for swim lessons. I felt SO unwelcome in the swim area with my daughter. One instructor kept glaring at us. Then the lifeguard said my daughter needed a life jacket because she can’t touch (she actually could touch and we were practicing her swimming), so they really almost try to force your hand into paying for swimming lessons. I immediately canceled my membership, save your time and money if you’re trying to get some swimming practice in with your kiddo before the summer.
★★★★★Chrissy SmithMy mother and I visit this gym regularly, as is it local to us. There is plenty of equipment and there is plenty of space. The YMCA has a variety of amenities such as saunas and showers in the bathroom, they host seasonal events and activities like the Pumpkin Run and have vendors come like KonaIce and a Bounce ouse for kids. There is also a splash pad in the back of the establishment that is open in the warmer seasons. They have sports teams as well for Basketball, Volleyball, Soccer, and Swim.
★★★★★Dawn Daly DavenportTook My Littles to watch their cousin's basketball 🏀 game. It was great (We won 😉). Will definitely be returning.... also to find out if a membership is required to enjoy their beautiful facility. Pool, basketball court, inside track, weights, small playground for the kids..... It's definitely worth looking into!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
★★★★★Vivian BellJeep Rogers YMCA sports is awesome! My son played flag football, basketball and now soccer. I can’t imagine going anywhere else. Practice is only once a week and the games are on Saturdays.
★★Kaylee PruntyGood exercise equipment and large facility, but the childcare area is in desperate need of an upgrade and a cleaning. It just felt sad. When I got there, there were 6 kids and all of them were just..standing around. No one playing with toys. No smiles. One of the babies was left in the carseat. It was depressing. The whole environment is really anti-kid with the cafeteria tiles and florescent lights. It needs a deep clean, some rugs, a paint job, and some friendly wall art. Would not leave my kids here and will not be coming back to this Y.
