## **East Hampton RECenter**

Our **Kiddie Camp** and **Youth Camp** campers put their creativity to work at the arts & crafts station and builder station, creating imaginative masterpieces and unique builds. Kiddie campers also had a blast in the gym playing games with friends, while Youth Camp enjoyed building incredible creations with magnetic tiles.

Our **Pre-Teen** and **Teen Camp** campers headed out for an exciting trip to **Dave & Buster's**, where they enjoyed friendly competition and plenty of fun in the arcade game room.

To beat the summer heat, our Kiddie and Youth campers cooled off in the pool while continuing to build confidence and improve their swim skills.

## **Great South Bay YMCA & ACLD**

Rain or shine, the fun never stops!

Our **Kiddie** and **Youth Camp** campers enjoyed a rainy day filled with games in the gym and creative arts & crafts activities.

At **ACLD Camp**, campers started the day with pool time, water games, and outdoor activities before moving inside when the rain arrived. The fun continued with musical chairs in Dance, bedazzling projects in Arts & Crafts, and testing out new cameras during Photography. It was another day filled with laughter, creativity, and unforgettable memories.

Our **Islanders, Panthers, and Bruins** groups enjoyed an exciting fishing trip aboard the **Yankee III**, where they even caught one keeper fluke! Meanwhile, the **Red Wings** and **Sharks** stayed on site for a fun-filled day of camp activities.

**Youth Camp** and **Sports Camp** visited many of our specialty program areas, while **Teen Camp** explored the **Deer Park Outlets** and enjoyed the new **Minions** movie.

Even with the rainy weather, our campers enjoyed a fantastic day indoors!
