Powered by GoogleI love this YMCA everyone is so polite and helpful at the front desk! And the gym is always so clean and they have plenty of equipment for everyone! Their schedule is packed with so many different options to sign up for. Definitely a place you should try!!!
Valley Shore YMCA was a fantastic experience for my middles school aged kid! They always had engaging activities to keep the kids entertained. My son especially loved the manhunt game—he couldn't get enough of it. The camp truly allowed kids to be kids and have fun. Highly recommend!
YMCA Camp Shore is the BEST summer camp on the Shoreline! My elementary school aged kids have gone for the last 3 summers and absolutely love it! Everyday is filled with amazingly fun activities: daily swimming, rock wall climbing, archery, gaga pit, nature walks, crafts, sports, and so so many very creative games to keep the kids entertained. Every week there are different themes for the kids to partake in if they wish, all of which my kids love! This year they did "Summer-ween" and they dressed up in Halloween costumes. There was a "gold" treasure hunt that my kids absolutely loved. Camper Olympics is also a favorite. My kids look forward to summer camp all year long! All of the counselors know my kids, they are excellent with communication, and I completely trust them with the safety of my children. The counselors are kind, attentive, fun, respectful, and set appropriate boundaries. I highly recommend their summer camp programs! I am very grateful to the YMCA Camp Shore crew for all of the amazing, special, summer memories my kids make with their camp friends every year!
I simply cannot say enough positive things about the Summer Camp program at Valley Shore YMCA. My son has attended the camp for several years and when he was in elementary school, he also attended their before and after school care programs. The staff have become family to us and I go to work every day confidently knowing that not only is my son safe and cared for- he is having a BLAST every day! It is truly an experience we look forward to every year knowing that my son is experiencing his summer outdoors, in the pool, active and away from screens! Summer Camp at YMCA has been and continues to be one of the highlights of every summer!
My son attends camp shore, he has been for years! He loves it! There are so many fun activities and themes. Everyone is so genuine, kind and welcoming! Britney is great, very helpful, understanding and accommodating. Her first priority is safety and health when it comes to the campers! My son and step daughter also enjoy the kids night out on Fridays during the school year!
