What are people saying (AI review summary)? The summer camp program at The Y receives mixed feedback. Positive experiences highlight engaging counselors, early/late drop-off options, outdoor activities, swimming, weekly field trips, and an air-conditioned gym. However, other camp reviews describe it as disorganized, lacking supervision, and having rude/unprofessional directors, with some children disliking the experience. General facility reviews are largely negative, citing courts that are frequently unavailable even after confirmation, rude front desk staff, and an inability to use many amenities. The men's locker room and weight rooms are also described as outdated and unimpressive. Despite these specific criticisms, one brief comment states that Southwest YMCA is 'clearly the best in the area'.

The summer camp program The Y provides is great. They allow early drop off and late pick up for working parents. The camp counselors are nice and engage the children. Keeping the kids outdoors and away from screens is wonderful. Management is easy to reach if there is anything to talk through. This Y has a pool so the kids go swimming most days. They have field trips once a week. They have an air conditioned gym if the weather is too hot or rainy. They were good to my family and I recommend this summer camp.

Giving this place 1 star is honestly generous. The courts are never EVER open. Even if you call and ask they will say it is and you get there it’s completely closed and they make up some bogus reason, stop being lazy if there’s nothing going on the courts should be open. Not to mention how rude some of the front desk workers are. This place is absolutely ridiculous I don’t ever recommend getting a membership you will never be able to use half of the amenities.

The summer camp at this location is very disorganized. I sent my kids for the last two weeks and they have been begging me to let them stay home. I've never had a worse experience with the directors at the camp being rude to my kids and unprofessional when spoken to.

Thinking of sending your littles to summer camp? If they love spending all day outside in the hot summer sun and free for all play with little to no supervision then yes this is great for them. For everyone else that wants organized play, learning new things and indoor shelter for their littles then this is not the place for them.

Cavernous mens locker room that looks like it was previously a corporate conference room circa 1980’s in its taupe brownish color scheme. The weight rooms look like a 3rd world country warehouse retrofit. Was unimpressed. Southwest YMCA is clearly the best in the area
