Huntington YMCA Summer Day Camp 

We jumped into the Sports Camp action with our camera, capturing some of the most exciting moments on the field.

Our campers dressed up as our favorite Sea Creature for Dress-Up Day!  Our campers made waves, not just in the pool but in every activity! From mastering new swim skills to diving into endless water fun, they truly are embracing the H2WOAH! spirit. 

Our Teen campers sharpened their artistic skills at The Village Artist, where they spent the day sketching and drawing. With pencils in hand, they brought their creative visions to life, exploring the world of art in their own unique ways

Great South Bay YMCA Summer Day Camp 

Our Great South Bay YMCA Pre teens had a great time learning about the Citi Field stadium, home of the New York Mets. They were able to walk around the entire stadium and even on the field! It was a great experience for everyone! Rock and roll with our rockstar campers! Our camp had so much fun on Friday celebrating our camper of the week followed by many fun games and activities with our freestyle activities. 

YMCA at Glen Cove Summer Day Camp

Our Pre-Teen and Teen campers went to the movies, Morgan Park and Dave and Busters this week! They had so much fun playing arcade games and challenging fellow campers at air hockey and how many hoops each camper could make. Campers back at the site enjoyed swim lessons, playground time, soccer, arts and crafts and spending time with each other. 

Patchogue Family YMCA Summer Day Camp 

Campers played Tic Tac Toe while answering questions and competing in various challenges to see who had what it takes to win it all! Girl Scouts came and made spinning butterflies with our second grade campers! Our Pre-teens and Teens visited Dave & Busters this week. We are thankful for Think Wellness who visited camp for a special musical special to show campers how to express themselves through their musical abilities with various instruments!
