My children have been going to the YMCA Quoowant Summer Camp for years. They love it, and wouldn’t want go anywhere else!

We love the Brandywine YMCA and their summer Hanby Outdoor camp! The facility is clean, has modern equipment, 2 great swimming pools and an array of fitness classes. We have been particularly impressed with them during the pandemic with their communication. Our kids, 13 and 9, loved camp this summer! In a crazy summer, this was one of their weekly highlighting playing outside with other kids in a safe environment. Great job, Brandywine Y!

The gym updates look amazing compared to what it was when I was a member a few years ago. The employees and personal trainers are very friendly and are eager to help on the floor. I do not struggle waiting to use equipment because of how big this gym is. The door greaters are always so friendly as well.

I love this place! The instructors are awesome and the Kids Zone staff are amazing! It’s fun to take the classes offered. And I know that there’s more I can do because they offer so much for full membership. My goal is to stay fit for me and my girls and the Y allows me all opportunities to just that!

To be honest, overall, the place is nice and is family friendly. It is a bit crowded and from time to time you bump into an unprofessional and undertrained front desk. But I would still give four stars for the place. The reason for the three-start review is mainly caused by the unpleasant experience while I was trying to get private swim lessons for my daughter. I paid for my daughter's swim lessons on 8/6 and was told there will be a two-week waiting list. Now it is almost two months and I was just told they could not find a spot for my daughter. Besides the long waiting, the communication with the person in charge was very inefficient. Be prepared to wait for weeks or even months before you receive a response. I'm requesting a refund now and just don't want to keep wasting my time here.

Great place for families of all kinds to enjoy fellowship, athletics, positive communication, and build strong relationships. The YMCA has so much to offer the whole family, from helping develop my youngsters in child care, to teaching my son how to swim, to giving me the opportunity to coach and bond with young athletes- which may be the greatest gift of all,

The YMCA staff is always so kind and encouraging. The activities are awesome, and my son loves the field trips. This was our 3rd summer at this camp, and he will be attending again next summer. I highly recommend the YMCA camp!

Brandywine Y has the best people working there. Helpful and smart and quick to resolve issues. Their small group classes are a great addition to the other classes and equipment they offer for a healthy lifestyle. But I didn't realize just how great the employees were until the Bear Y messed up a credit on my account and then basically told me sorry we can't help you with it. I was able to call the Brandywine Y and they resolved my issues and were very pleasant to deal with. So glad I am close to Brandywine Y!!

The Brandywine Y is doing a great job of handling the coronavirus problem. Staff members continually wipe down equipment, and soap dispensers and cleaning tissues are located throughout the facility, and equipment is socially distanced. The staff is also friendly and very helpful. Masks are required of everyone, of course.
