So Long Session 3... Just one more to go!

As session 3 comes to a close, our campers are ending it with a bang! The excitement is in the air as they come together to celebrate Y Guy's birthday, a beloved member of our camp community. With his infectious energy and positive spirit, Y Guy truly makes the Y a fun place to be. In addition to the birthday festivities, our campers have been busy participating in the final activities for their Olympic games. From the colorful and exhilarating color run to creating beautiful arts and crafts, they have been showcasing their creativity and teamwork. Not to mention, they have been honing their swim skills, learning new techniques and gaining confidence in the water. And let's not forget about our pre-teens and teens, who had the opportunity to explore off-campus activities for some added fun and adventure. It's been a session filled with laughter, friendship, and unforgettable memories. Here's to a successful end to session 3 and looking forward to the adventures that await in the next session!

Jump into the magic with our campers! Our kiddie camp had an in-house special magic show! PreTeens enjoyed their trips to Adventureland and East Islip Lanes. From spinning on the Frisbee, to creeping through the Haunted House and splashing through the Log Flume, the campers made great memories. Many campers got some impressive strikes and had a great time with their friends in their group. The food from the concession stand was also very yummy! Happy Crazy Sock Day! Look at all the crazy socks our campers are wearing today-- how silly are they! Luckily we got a few hours of fun in before the skies opened up.
