Overall, the structure of the camp is great. However, they frequently make last minute changes, do…read morenot communicate them, and then get frustrated when you are not following these changes. I worked here for 4 summers out of convenience, and it was one of the most hostile environments I have never been in. If you went to Camp Sewataro growing up, great, they will welcome you with open arms and you will fit in. If you did not, you will be isolated, shut out by fellow employees, and not be able to participate in events that the camp runs but chooses strictly campers-turned-employees for. If you are a college graduate, teacher, childcare professional, etc, you will still be getting supervised by an unqualified college kid, just because they grew up at camp. Pay is also terrible. I was making $11 an hour while having a Master's degree in education. There are hundreds of other camps in the area, don't work here.

I come here mainly on weekends, when my home Y closes way the heck too early (4pm vs 7pm here)…read more I'd say that about 70-80% of their equipment is fine. Lots of free weights and strength machines. The highlight is the huge, high-ceilinged (30-40ft?) functional fitness space that features a turf area, a sled, kettlebells, plyo boxes, plyo smash balls, a do-it-all calisthenics multi-station that includes weighted pulleys, dip and pullup and monkey bars, a free hanging real boxing bag (nice angled uppercut bag that's just the right weight to make you "dance" to avoid the swing back, yet forgiving enough that you can punch it without gloves without risking a broken wrist or bruised knuckles), a pair of Assault bikes and treadmills, a Concept rower, some meh Schwinn stationary bikes (more on that later), and two full squat cages with plenty of plates and barbells. So, what about the other 20-30%, you ask? Well, their cardio machines range from so-so to unusably lousy. All the treadmills are Precor, which are a clear step down from the Life Fitness TMs most Ys have: smaller uglier fuzzy screens with spotty internet connection that can freeze up in the middle of a workout, noisier and less stable platform. The stationary bikes are a mix of Precor (typical mediocre gym bike with crap ergonomics where you feel like you're on a creaky toy bike pedaling against some barbaric pad not magnetic resistance) and Espresso (video-gaming type bike clearly designed to seduce ADD teenagers or lazy af adults) and the horrible Schwinn bikes (just as bad as most home exercise bikes, you can understand why people mostly use them as clothes hangers). Please please please can you guys get at least a few KEISER bikes? We know you can have decent taste in cardio machines because you kept your CONCEPT rowers instead of choosing some oversized gym-brand rowers which look impressive but have similarly lousy ergonomics. Oh and they have non-mechanical Assault brand treadmills which nobody uses because they are brutal on the knees, too narrow and unstable. I don't know who was in charge of choosing the cardio equipment, but that person needs to be put to work cleaning the bathrooms or something more appropriate! The other major gripe I have is their sauna --- it's spacious and new and pretty, but who in the hell decided to have only ONE row of seating? Completely idiotic, folks: did you not pass seventh grade Life Science, where they teach you that heat RISES, and that's why all real saunas have TWO levels of seating, with the 2nd one being a good 4-5 feet off the ground so that you get the full benefit of the heat in the room? Here you have to STAND on the damned low benches if you want to get a decent sweat in ... the sauna thermometer reads 170F but if you're sitting down you'd be lucky to get 140-150F, which is useless. (The sauna of the Melrose YMCA has the same idiotic mistake.) So, while I'm grateful that this Y offers me decent hours to work out on weekends making the long drive out there worthwhile, their cardio machines selection and sauna design really really need a rethink.

It was so much fun, very well organized, and a family, friendly, and clean and exciting venue for our big event. The actual venue is spacious and well ventilated. Four-year-olds can be extremely messy, but our coaches did a great job containing the chaos. They were great with our catered pizza and cake, and we could not be more appreciative that they spent this afternoon with our big group. Today could not have been more gross in terms of the weather, but we felt taken care of and extremely warm under the care of these talented coaches. We look forward to coming back for future events!

Update: Joe reached out to me right away explaining that Junior Discovery camp's emphasis is on…read moresafety and friendly camp environment. Starting 2nd grade is when Linx has more activities for children. He also assured that he will take proper steps to adjust the way comments are being delivered to parents at drop-off and pick-up. Overall, it was nice to see that Linx camp follows up on parents reviews and is willing to improve its ways going forward. Initial Review (1 star): Poor quality to cost ratio. The camp is expensive, but activities are limited. In Junior camps, for $800 a week, kids do absolutely nothing. In Linx camp 1st grade kids sing nursery rhymes and play with sprinkles while in other similarly-priced camps 1st grade kids do archery, boating and woodworking. Drop-off and pick-up are stressful. Worst of all, the main guy (Joe, from the Welcome video) who directs traffic is screaming at the top of his lungs at parents for making a wrong turn or not having a blinker on. This yelling at parents is completely inappropriate and serves a bad example for children who attend the camp. I will not be signing up again for this camp, and I would not recommend it to anyone.
