Grant is phenomenal with my child. She grew so much in since having a class with Grant accompanied with Patrick. Nova's back with only Patrick this time and he's patient and giving her great exercises to strengthen her swim strokes.

The weight room, although air-conditioned, has little in the way of ventilation. A few fans for ventilation and evaporative cooling would make a huge difference.

Everyone is very friendly

My son loved it

Staff repeatedly suspended my child and told me we would have a meeting together to plan something consistent but instead that never happened and I had to handle it on my own. I reminded them constantly. They never made the time. They would never reach out before suspending him. I would just pick him up when it was already too late.

Would not recommend

I would recommend the Briggs Community YMCA to anyone who wants a welcoming and comfortable space to practice movement and exercise. It's a beautiful facility and I always look forward to my visits.

I've never been there

Spacious and welcoming. Clean. Parking is sometimes a challenge.

Yes

Mikayla who led Chess club and assisted in Pokemon club is the best! She helped my son Arlo learn the basics of Chess with patience and fun. She was also a shining light of enthusiasm for the children in Pokemon club. Mikayla absolutely deserves recognition!

I love the sense of community, commitment to living your best life, making new friends.

You leave feeling better than you did coming in. Passing a smile along to others makes a world of difference.

lgbtq affirming, no or very minimal tvs, pool

Everyone really emphasizes inclusion and welcome

My son is on the older side of campers I think, but still very much enjoyed the camp this year. The counselors were very kind and friendly. They get 10/10.

We did one day of t-ball- there was no structure, no plan, no guidance for the kids

Great staff

We did not have that positive of an experience, but another parent reported to me that her daughter was expelled for having an emotional outburst (she has ADHD). I will be unlikely to send my autistic daughter or her sister to YMCA next year. It will have to be a last resort.

Submitted feedback via email

Everyone is welcoming! The lifeguards do their job. The music is fun when it is free swim and family friendly. Good family appropriate atmosphore. Great experience to be in an outdoor covered pool.

I was very disappointed with my interactions with the program coordinator\. On the two or three occasions when I needed to speak with her directly, I found her responses, tone, and body language to be dismissive and condescending\. I was left feeling as though my concerns regarding my child were an annoyance or nuisance to her rather than something worthy of attention\.

I want to emphasize that all of the other staff members I interacted with were friendly, attentive, and helpful, and I truly appreciated their positive attitudes\.

Unfortunately, my experiences with the program coordinator significantly affected my overall impression of the camp\. Considering that the program costs approximately $400, I expected a much higher level of professionalism and respectful communication, especially when a parent is raising concerns about their child\.

Because of this experience, I will not be signing my child up for this summer camp again in the future\.

The weekly rate with no lunch provided I think needs to change

Because they unfairly kicked my son out after two weeks. My son was treated like an outsider often came home saying he felt ignored by staff. And after two incidences was expelled from the camp. I tried to talk to the director but did not get a call back.

I liked the new location with air conditioning for the kids. I also felt like this year that had more activities to do and were more concentrated on the camp theme!
