Richmond District YMCA runs a summer day camp at Argonne Playground Park in San Francisco's Richmond District for children entering TK through 8th grade, ages 4.5 to 13. Campers are grouped as Discoverers, Adventurers and Explorers, and each week combines arts and crafts, camp songs and outdoor group games with one full-day field trip and a swim day at the Presidio Community YMCA pool. Specialty weeks add cooking, art and the Y Rangers naturalist and service-learning program. Core hours are 9:00am to 4:00pm with free morning and afternoon extended care from 8:00am to 5:30pm; financial assistance is available and the Y accepts third-party childcare billing.

★★★★★RobbieGreat little ymca, wonderful people that work here and go here. Grateful for ymca membership and able to go to any ymca nationwide. Ymca is instrumental in my growth and I am very appreciative of that.
★CastleBeware. YMCA puts up massive barriers to cancel membership. I've been trying to cancel for the last 2 months because I simply can't afford it. No one responds when I email the membership address - which is how they instruct people to pursue membership cancellation. I tried simply removing my payment method from my account but they are still somehow charging me. 24 HR fitness here I come.
★★★★★liz wilburnThe Richmond District YMCA is the first gym I've actually enjoyed going to. I feel completely comfortable working out here. I haven't had the chance to try out other locations, but this particular branch puts on great classes and the instructors are all very talented. I attend many of Jenny's classes (TRX, BodyPump, Cycle, Basic Core) and have often brought friends along with me and everyone loves them. Being a former athlete, I could immediately tell Jenny had been a sports coach in the past... and a great one at that. She sets the pace to motivate and push you, while still bringing a fun fiery spirit to the class. She knows her stuff and she will work alongside you every step of the way... and she's funny. I truly can't say enough great things about the woman or her classes. If you haven't joined yet, get a guest pass and try out a few classes!
★★★★★Marissa KrogueThere’s nothing about this Y that my family doesn’t absolutely adore. The workout experience is probably not the best you can get- it’s crowded, there aren’t tons of machines, and the free weights are lacking. Not to mention the studio downstairs is often busy. BUT! What they lack in that, they gain in experience. They are so friendly. They know my name and my kid’s name. He doesn’t go to preschool largely in part because he goes to the Y. They are so good with the kids. The classes are all great. Especially Jenny’s! We love her. Another great perk is how good they are to the community. They do community activities often. It’s clean, easy to get to, and well maintained. There is limited parking in the back but you can park at the Ross down the block and get up to two hours validated (stamp your parking ticket at the front desk.) This Y is so great!
★★Anna SThe management stinks. This gym is pretty tiny, but they do what they can with the space, and its unfortunately one of the better Y’s in the area. They’ve gotten better about letting members know when events are happening in some of the bigger spaces, like workout rooms, but still have a long way to go with communications on closures. The biggest perk is the classes available — the class coordinator is awesome.
