The whole facility is amazing. You can’t go wrong. I love the lifeguard Carin. She is so expert in everything and extreaming experienced. Love this place. Love carin.

In my opinion, the service is horrible. They often make up things that have never happened. The employees are sometimes very rude as well.

They don't offer any open/family lanes/times for people who don't want to lap swim but still want to exercise in the pool. This facility is even more prejudiced against non-lap swimmers than the city center one. Why bother joining if you just want to use the gym? Planet Fitness is much cheaper. It used to be much better and much more open to people using the pool for other types of exercise.

Pool - on a good day this is a wonderful experience for my husband to go swim laps. On a bad day, the lanes are taken even though the website says they are available. Example - today senior splash was supposed to have ended but one lane was taken by some from this group. "Life guards do not do anything to enforce the schedule or monitor the situation of lanes being available for lap swimming" There have been times when the pool has been closed unexpectedly with no notification. There have been times the online schedule says one thing and another is true once at the Y. Facility is beautiful but definitely needs work on organization of schedule and enforcement of it.

Great place to come whether you are a member or not. They have day passes for the outdoor pool. I bring my family and we pack lunch and enjoy the pool for the day. Reasonably priced, and clean facilities. Kind staff. Overall a great place!

This is a very nice YMCA facility. We were visiting from our of town and had power issues and being YMCA members at home with the nationwide membership allowed us to use this facility without extra cost. The staff was super friendly!

The indoor facility is very nice and I would give 5 stars for that. But a warning about the outdoor pool which deserves only one star: Just like at the East Petersburg Pool, the bathhouse here at this YMCA has NO LOCKERS for the safe storage of personal belongings. When I learned this I turned right around and left the outdoor pool without even going in and using it. I was told that the place was built in 2008 before anyone really thought about adding lockers. But once again, as I said in another one of my reviews, the Chambersburg Municipal Pool's bathhouse had FULLY EQUIPPED BATHHOUSES --- including lockers --- in 2001 when I first visited it. No excuse for an outdoor pool facility not to have lockers.

It's a good gym. Not too crowded. Equipment is always available. The free weight area can get a bit full and is a little small, but I can always get on my full workout. Locker rooms and the gym are always clean.

OK so me and my wife went there to inquire about summer camp for my 2 kids for this summer of course. Elise at the front desk was legit the nicest person I have met in a while. She answered all our questions and gave us comparisons between the members and non members pricing. We were on the fence about summer camp. With the way she treated us we are now commited members and our kids are signed up for summer camp. Thank you for all the information and Making us feel welcome.

It would be nice if you could actually use the gym for recreation on your own and not have to be in a class. Their open gym times are while most people are working, in school or have to get their kids to bed for school in the morning. I know it's hard but maybe with the expansion they could build a gym that's usable by the members on their own. I don't have a problem joining in with others but most of the night it's closed for classes, not everyone wants to just lift weights. For what we pay it's discouraging to not be able to use it. Most of the staff is friendly if you speak to them. Usually clean and equipment is in working condition. With adding more members from other Y closures they may need to get a few more cleaning towels to keep up.

Good gym. Very clean, always in good condition. Other members tend to be pleasant.
Cons:
Child watch can be mediocre. Sometimes, staff isn't paying attention, especially in the older room. There have been times when I have tried to catch the attention of the attendant, only to just take my child and leave for want of waiting, without their every knowing. If I can do it, who else can?
Front desk staff isn't rude, but they aren't terribly friendly either.

The YMCA is so fun! Summer camp is an amazing place to be, the counselors and staff are very fun loving to the kids. The games are so much fun and you get to make so many friends! I really love to swim and play water games, even going on field trips are fun. In 2015 the camp was probably the best, Miss Sarah, Miss Jess, and Miss Paige are all favorite councilors of mine. The councilors are probably the best part of camp because they plan fun activities, swimming, games and much more! Thank you LS for bringing YMCA here!

cont...I wonder where he was when this was happening. A different child was stealing my son’s Pokémon cards and nothing was being done until by boyfriend intervene and got some cards back. My children also know which children are medicated and what they are medicated for. This should be kept private. My children do not need to know what children are on ADHD medication. This list just goes on how disappointed I am in the YMCA. I have complained in email about ALL of these things and NOTHING has been done. This is unfortunate how displeased I am because the Y is so beautiful and new. It has so much potential for campers that is not used. I live in southern Lancaster County so the YMCA and SECA in Quarryville are the ONLY two options for summer camp with a pool. SECA is twice as much so I can’t afford it with the two kids, however they go swimming and do activities EVERY DAY and my daughter loved it (when she went). I just wish when my kids came home from camp they were excited to tell me how much fun they had, rather than how boring it was and how they didn't get to do this or that today. Unless changes are made if you have another option rather than the Y I would take it.

Summer camp at the Y in Lampeter location has not been as fun as I had hoped for my two children 6 and 8. My 8 year old did the summer camp in 2015 and went swimming every day and had a pretty good experience. This summer both of my children were enrolled at the summer program. I have had many complaints over the past couple months. There lunches were left outside in the 90 degree weather all day rather than be brought in the air conditioned building. Lunch boxes and freezer packs are not designed to keep lunch cool for 8-9 hours. Also my children are one of the first to arrive at camp, therefore their lunches were being placed at the bottom of ALL the lunch boxes and getting destroyed. There were days where my children did not eat their lunches or have anything supplemented due to this. Another time I picked my 6 year old up after a long hot day in the sun and he was begging me for water. They do not ensuring the children are hydrated. Pool time is limited to 3 times a week for only 1 hour a day (my kids favorite part about camp is pool time). There have been numerous occasions where pool time was canceled all together due to lack of staff or other stupid reasons they gave. They have scheduled field trips on Thursdays. One field trip was to the YMCA camp Shan. Both my children were so excited to go because they were promised swim time and were told there was a zip line, and rock climbing wall. They were also instructed to wear their suites to camp that morning (as they did). They did not do ANY of those activities. That day was 92 degrees. My children were subjected to walking around the camp and LOOKING at all the things they couldn’t do. As a result from the heat my 8 year old developed a severe heat rash from her suite rubbing on her body ALL day in the heat. I contacted the camp and they stated they were sorry and under staffed. They also stated they a loud the campers to play in the creek to cool off. My son did get to do this however my daughter was in a different group and did not. I informed the Y my daughter did not get any water time and they continued to claim she did. My 8 year old definitely did not get any time to cool off. She was upset that day when she came home and found out her brother did and she did not. My 6 year old also had his Burton snowboarding backpack stolen. The value does not matter $100, however all his things were taken. Lunch box, first aid kit, sunscreen, bug spray, towel, bathing suite. NOTHING was done about it due to policy. The councilors clearly are not paying enough attention to my little boy. My eight year old I don’t worry about so much she is aware of her surroundings and will speak up for herself. However my son just goes with the flow. I am afraid he is not going to get enough food or water one day in the heat and pass out. The campers MAY go inside for an hour if there is a heat advisory. The general rule of thumb for this Advisory is when the maximum heat index temperature is expected to be 100° or higher for at least 2 days. This in my opinion is not a reasonable protocol for a camp. To have all those kids outside with no swim time or break from the sun is ludicrous. There were countless extremely hot days where they did not get to go inside OR have swim time. This is my children’s FINAL week at camp (exciting right?) No not at all! There will be NO swim time for the last week of camp nor will they be having a field trip. The reason they are not having swim time the last week is because they are UNDER STAFFED according to Emily their coordinator. If my kids were not going to get to go swimming all but 3 hours a week, I should have sent them to a daycare. The Y has a baseball field that is only used to play in the dirt. The only sport I see them play is Basketball. They could get things for kick ball, flag football, soccer, (get games going). They really are there just to be baby sit I feel like. There have also been problems with another camper pulling his private out not once but twice! This same camper has an aide that is supposed to follow him around everywhere.
