The theater program has been absolutely incredible for our kids! They have been in shows for years and we are so happy with all of the staff throughout the various productions. The theater program offers interesting and exciting opportunities with fun and appropriate show choices. My kids have felt challenged and supported to achieve very high expectations. The productions are very high quality and the staff works so hard to create a safe and inclusive environment for all participants and where we as parents have felt comfortable and welcome to volunteer and take an active role in supporting our kids' passions. We are so grateful that programs like this are accessible to all families!

The YMCA has been in my family for YEARS. Thank everyone from the YMCA childcare staff, to the after school program staff, to the camp staff for being so considerate, kind, caring & just absolutely amazing to my children and family. As a mother I feel amazing having my kids wake up every morning & feel excited & comfortable to attend the programs the YMCA provides. I couldn’t have asked for such an amazing team from all sides. Thank you everyone so much! Keep up the amazing work you do because it makes a difference in lives every day.

Being at your location today for the first time this year, I was very disappointed to find that there was no green-cone lane in the pool for public/ Not even one line was left available for open swim. That’s unreasonable. There should always be at least one lane designated for open swim at all times. The current setup makes no sense, and it feels unfair to members who come expecting regular access. This needs to be addressed and made a rule moving forward.

The Salem YMCA is local, so my husband and I can walk to it. They have great facilities. We get free memberships with our AARP healthcare. It’s really wonderful! The pool is great. We love it!
