“I wanted to compliment the Director and counselors (and childcare staff) at the Lakewood Ranch Brand YMCA. Having been both a camp counselor and camp director myself, I am extremely impressed with the way that the camps are run.
I have a 13-year-old daughter who has an attended the half day basketball and volleyball camp. She is going to attend the soccer camp next week. Her basketball Camp began when all the other camps started as well. Despite multiple types of camps and many children, campers were quickly grouped and joined with their counselors and locations.
I have been inside the center while camp is in session, and I am extremely impressed by the way communication works between staff members. Walkie talkies are constantly being used, and students are being counted and accounted for. I appreciate that the pool is used exclusively for campers during the day, to maintain camper safety. All counselors seem genuinely happy to be with their campers, and everything is extremely orderly. Counselors are bright and energetic in the morning at check in.
My daughter’s counselor Austin comes to check her out in the afternoon and always had a positive attitude and great things to say about her. He is personable and we have seen him outside of camp hours and he maintains the same composure and energy. I feel extremely safe allowing my children to attend camps and activities here.
We are also extremely impressed with the childcare center. I have a 2 yr old that has been attending the Y for around 6 months. I drop her off with confidence to three knowledgeable, caring and friendly staff members. She is always happy at pick up and excited to attend.
Prior to finding the Y, we were at LA Fitness, where we were extremely unhappy. On one occasion, the childcare supervisor allowed her to play for an unknown length of time in the bathroom. We picked her up soaking wet, with no explanation as to what happened. We still don’t know if she was playing in the toilet or the sink. Needless to say, we canceled our LA Fitness membership that evening.
We are so thrilled to have found the YMCA and are proud to be a part of it.”

The staff make him feel at home and even provide homework help. I love all the choices in the fitness room. I can get my cardio in and there are a lot of options for strength training between all the machines and free weights. My son recently had a birthday pool party at the Y.

“Symphony salvage has been a company we have used for many years and I have been in direct contact with them once a week for about a year and a half now and they come and pick up the stuff that we have for recycling for them and provided bags and rubber bands provided by them That all you have to do is ask them the prior week of delivery for some more bags and or rubber bands. Wish they bring you a big box or a big bag full of rubber bands for tying shoes together, etc. things like that and they pick up cleanly respectfully and politely the gentleman that are driving and working the truck are very respectful. They do great work. They are clean about it, and they don’t make comments they don’t say bad words they’re very respectful and happy every time I’ve seen them every single time. I am very, very impressed with Symphony salvage and will continue using them for the business.”
