Shark week is here! So much fun at the outdoor pool and splashpad for our shark dump and shark races. 🦈 Perfect Day!

Exciting news: we have two, part-time preschool spots available at our Ipswich Family YMCA Early Education center! 🧸

Our program offers a nurturing environment with caring teachers and a focus on literacy, STEAM, creativity, social skills, and physical development—including swimming, gymnastics, and sports. 🖍️

🌤️ Outdoor Pool & Splash Pad Update 🌤️

Due to the cool morning temperatures, the outdoor pool and splash pad will remain closed today.

The good news? The outdoor pool and splash pad will be back open at 11:00 AM tomorrow for our member benefit hours as usual.

Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to seeing you at the pool later today!

There's fun happening at Camp Cedar Mill! ☀️🌲

What an incredible week it's been! Our campers have been making new friends, building confidence, exploring the outdoors, and creating memories that will last long after summer ends. From exciting games and creative activities to swimming, splash pad fun, and plenty of laughter, every day has been packed with adventure.

There's nothing better than seeing smiling faces, trying new things, and watching campers grow more confident with each passing day. ❤️

A huge thank you to our amazing camp staff for bringing the energy, enthusiasm, and care that make Camp Cedar Mill such a special place.

Here's to making the most of every summer moment! 🌞
