Best Summer Camp Lansing Near Me

Gary: This is one of the better YMCA I've been in:-) it is a treasure in the southside of Lansing

Ray Mg: The hours what made me cancel membership.. short open hrs .. pool not open as often..

Randy Bowen: I will share the screen shots of what a nightmare this place is. People swearing on the courts screaming, pool open 2 hours a week for the kids, broken machines, impossible to get a refund. The employees act like it honestly is their last dollar. I have been told multiple things on where my refund checkmis, all lies to where I had to file with the ceo. Avoid oak park ymca it is a shady dump.

Gary Lange: Positive:Communication

David Mack: Great

Blissful Knight: The staff are friendly and the pool is very deep! Their rules state: "Ages 13+ may join as individuals, however, youth 13–17 must have a parent or legal guardian sign the membership agreement and waiver." However, i've noticed a lot of unsupervised children and teenagers, especially on the basketball courts.

Nasir abdiwahid: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality

Robert Briseno: Even though it's an older building, there are many updates. Keep an eye out for swim times. Even though the pool and hot tub area is open, there are days and times it's unavailable.

Bethany Kline: Nice place like home

jose flores: Great place. Great staff.

Arturo Morales: Outstanding clean and safe! 👍

Robert Halloran: I've been a long time member. I'm very disappointed that the hot tub is closed and usage of the pool is restricted.

Gail Robins: Love my classes at the Y. So happy to be back!

Andrew Moore: Good experience, plenty of machines and equipment, I just wish they were open a little bit later like 8 or 9 at least.

Mandolinman58: Positive:Communication,Quality,ValueWhy am I not here every weekend? Always such a peaceful place to visit. I was here mid-Nov after leaves fell but before snow. My puppie's first visit. Saw crows, bluejay flock, mallards, Canada geese, little Red Squirrels and flushed a deer. Quite a visit.

Amy Wyma: Pretty heavily wooded but a nice challenge without too much risk for new hikers. I was there for an engagement session and the photos turned out wonderfully!

Craig Waitkus: New to the area and found this place. Nice place to walk on trails 😉. Quite and serene, some wild life in area.

DeAnna Clark: Everything was spectacular!

Penelope Wernet: ❤🌳

Shelly F: The park has always been beautiful, the trails kept clear. The only issue is disrespectful people who don't pick up after themselves. I wish I had taken photos but someone let their child(ren) leave several messes of yarn & toothpicks.

Mario Aguilar: Great place to get in touch with nature

Tamera Thuma: Parking lot well kept. More equipment than former Y we used to visit.

Kayla Rivera: The staff have always been nice so thats not an issue but for the pricing this place asks its not worth it. It has not been updated since i was here as a child so assuming since it was built! The water slide has not been up an running since we got a memership months ago neither has the rock wall! We got the membership for the swimmimg an the water slide for the kids The pool is not always open for family swim an if it is irs not long the steam room smells moldy. So we will be canceling our membership as i dont see the point in keeping it….. seems like this place is falling apart

Jeremy B: Cleaner than the oak park location but alot busier.

Mr Handsome: Recently moved here from Detroit. In my opinion it's the best ymca in Lansing. If you want to play basketball save get a good room in this is pretty much your best option. I honestly feel like it's a bigger is better situation at this location.

Ali Abdul-Wahab: The hours at this YMCA are not great compared to most other YMCA's. They used to be open much earlier and later. They reduced hours due to COVID, wich is understandable, but the pandemic is easing and they haven't restored hours. The facility is pretty clean and the staff is friendly though. They have a lot of feature and equipment. Including a pool, steam room, and dry sauna. The membership fee is decent as well.

John Dolbee: Very helpful and friendly staff. My membership was all messed up and they took care of me and let me know what I needed to do to fix it. Clean facility, pool was in good shape now over crowded or overly chlorine treated.

Erin Pratt: Love the Y - so many community and youth programs. I go as often as I can for the great pool, always clean and warm with a TON of open swim hours. I love the sauna and steam room on a cold day. Can’t wait for the slide to be fixed (almost there!). The facility is old but clean and a lot of different fitness options. Worth the membership!

Ann Lynch: Ko ko

Terrance Cox: I'm a Silver Sneakers member at this facility. The building is large with two stories. The location is in an area that's tucked away in a nice treed location. Plenty of parking.I can't say enough about this facility from it's lobby with a small snack area and vending machines to the front desk crew. They are polite and knowledgeable of this facility. It is well secured well monitored cameras and manned security on site.From a roller rink and one mile walking track to areas for boxing and handball. The five lane pool is open for all along with a smaller area for kids. It has a slide too. The machine room and weight areas are generous. Enough space for equipment for usage with plenty to choose from. All types of bikes. Weights. Nautilus and more. Classrooms for instructional sessions. Large men's, women's and family locker rooms. Showers, saunas and steam rooms in each.Can't say enough about this particular facility and the Silver Sneakers program and their association with US YMCAs.

Jon Stieglitz: Stopped in to look at a family membership. Lots was going on and the staff was still friendly. Can't wait to join.

Lzz Johnk: I got a membership here for the pool and would go a few times a week. The staff is friendly and helpful. The locker room was always clean, although several of the lockers are kinda warped or busted. They have a steam room and a sauna. If you go in the middle of the day, there's usually a lane free for lap swimming. People are nice and will share lanes if it's busy. Most of the lifeguards are attentive and professional. Overall I like this pool a lot, but from time to time it was a little dirty.

Elizabeth Scheffel: "Westside is the best side, pushing phat rides," Montell Jordan once said.And he was right.

Jesse Krewson: A great place to engage the community and practice a healthy lifestyle!

Jonathan C Gonzalez: It was okay took my kids to the pool and the lifeguards seemed miserable

Pwr Mvs Music Group: Everything is good except for the men’s locker room. Please remodel this next! It’s a bacterial cesspool with all the moisture and outdated shower amenities.

General Fresh: Broken gym floor, unused skate rental, old equipment, rock wall that's never open, kiddy pool slide has never been open for as long as I remember. Improvements are in dire need I barely want to spend my money then they raised the membership I'm low-key offended but my health is more important I just hope this Y turns around cause as of now I'm highly disappointed and always tryna find a better experience elsewhere but the close proximity and the available amenities keep me. I like the sauna, the steam room, and the hot tub. If it's money let's pray that Kyle Kuzma donates a million to the westside YMCA of Lansing. PS the children's summer camp used to be A1 before COVID, after there was a major regression, the choices are no longer abundant, and the spots are much more limited which is a staffing thing so it's understandable.

Tasha Warfield: I like it...steam room was very outdated though.

Melodie McDorman: Oak prak

Noname noReason: No good

Willie Peters: I love coming to YMCA because being a barber/tattoo artist at another Planet hair studio I always make new clients there looking for a new home no long lines no long wait located next to Biggby coffee and we’re great with the kids🤩🤩🎯✅

Kara Grace: Cost effective gym option if you want to swim! My favorite work out is lap swimming, but the options are scarce in the Lansing area unless you want to pay a high cost or are lucky enough to live close to the Alfreda Schmidt Center (free lap swims!!). I found this community center near my home and with a payment plan as an out of district resident I pay $25 monthly for access to the pool and to the gym! The gym has minimal equipment and is fairly small, but it works for my desire to get active and try some things out. The pool is gorgeous and always fairly warm, the locker rooms are also well maintained.

Tamera Thuma: I enjoyed a theatre production on the property. Very nicely kept grounds.Inside was very clean.Restroom was very clean.Overall a very pleasant experience.

Hien Dalat: Wow, I experienced a lot of 'first's here. Firstly, a lady who helped me preserve two swim slots, while being friendly, preserved two slots in April when it's already May. They sent me a receipt with zero charged. I thought it was free. Then the night before my swim time, I realized the mistake, I called but couldn't reach anyone. I tried to fix it with my account online - I was told my account was already registered - but none of the passwords worked. So I asked the system for a password retrieval email. None came. So I decided to come in the next day still, hoping that it's just a weird typo on the receipt. Nope, she actually reserved a day in the past for me. When I explained the situation to the lady at the front desk, she gave no apology at first, she had the audacity to lecture me to check the receipt. Hold up, what kind of software do you use that allows you to preserve past events?? This is a first. Does it still make sense to you that this is still my fault if you preserved a date in 2020 for me?? I had to stop her half way to ask that question. I had to stop her to explain what I tried in vain to reverse the situation. After 20 minutes, she said she's sorry. That should be the first thing that should have come out of her mouth. Because this is still firstly your responsibility. This is not how you do business, letting your customers check for your mistakes.I was really upset, called in to get a supervisor. I got someone who could squeeze me in at 2pm. The front desk lady who lectured me about what time to call in to get issues resolved? Well I called twice to get voicemail. Ok, don't lecture me then. I got there at 2pm, being told I had to pay. Ok, paying is no problem. The problem is the fact that no one had told me, not the lady who helped me preserve the time. What if I don't carry my card with me? I do that when I don't expect to spend. You're getting way too comfortable with the people around here that you assume everyone is in line. There are transitional people; this is a college town, mind you.After my swim, I found out there was no swimsuit drying machine. This is the third first. Never have I been in a swimming center that has no such machine.Three inconvenient incidents within a day is enough for me to pass on using this center again.
