Programs designed for kids are great

The kind child a youth staff. They learn my children's names and welcome them back each week. My children are always excited to come to programs each week

I like that there are many times during the week for free swim so we can bring the kids. I like that there is also open gym time daily as well A kiddo of ours comes a few times a week. I wish they had programs for kids older than 12. I have a 13 yr old and 15 yr old who would love a program or activity like they have basketball and floor hockey. But for kids maybe 13-17. I also wish they would bring in soccer again as a program. Maybe a kick boxing or boxing class for 13-17?

Everything

Great programs that help kids learn and use their energy in a good way

The variety and the fact they change throughout thw year. My kids love all the programs.

Variety of activities and times.

To consistently offer the programs to kids and youth in smaller group, like for instance karate group can be divided into smaller group.

Friendly staff, clean environment.

My kids love the swim lessons. They are however disappointed that kids yoga was not being offered again.

Excellent Service

The variety of options! Our children love going to the Y!

Activities are very engaging for the kids, nice clean environment, great staff.

Cost.. I understand it's income based but single parents with good income still have lots of expenses they don't get credit for when it's based of income

The building seems always be full of happy people, from children having fun and learning skills while having fun, to young adults, to adult men and women to seniors, people from any country, any religion, any physical or emotional issues, all welcomed and accepted

I was very satisfied with my daughter's experience at the YMCA, St. Thomas March Break Camp. She had lots of fun and it was good she was able to go swimming in the YMCA pool. I can only speak to the swimming, because I wasn't told what other activities they were doing throughout the day. I did gather over the week that there was some colouring and outdoor play as well. A weekly schedule, or activity list would be nice to for the parents, so they have an idea of what is going on. Only area I can touch on for improvement, is ensuring camp staff is at the facility promptly for 7:25 am for those parents who paid for extended drop-off & pick-up hours. Thank you.

Take a picture of the kids doing activities to send to the parents.

Great instructors and lots of variety

Risky play My child comes home dirty= had fun and allowed to try things and develop independent skills Diversity in play centre ideas My child always wants to be the last one to go home

Your class sizes r too large for student teachers to teach properly and maintain class structure. The length inbetween classes for full time members can take up to 4 weeks before one class ends and the next classes start it is waisting membership money when programs don't run back to back.

This year my son is actually playing the sports he signed up for and not doing a bunch of games and activities completely because unrelated. He looks forward to going to his programs. And I like that he is kept busy enough that he is tired after! He loves his coaches and there is always good feedback at every session.

I like that they are included with your membership

Thank you for the varied programs available for kids up to 12. Any chance we'll see more for the slightly older kids?
