HUNTINGTON YMCA SUMMER DAY CAMP

At our Huntington YMCA camp, our campers started their day out with some great morning announcements and then break out into various fun activities. Some activities that are not pictured are swimming, theme day, arts and crafts and some sports! 

Y Guy came to join in on the fun and even shared a synchronized dance with some of our counselors to usher in a new camp week! To top it all off, the Hurricanes won the Spirit Stick.

GREAT SOUTH BAY YMCA SUMMER DAY CAMP

At the Great South Bay YMCA, we enjoyed arts and crafts, going on field trips, cooling off in the pool, and learning some fun STEAM projects! 

This week's STEAM project taught our campers about density and what would happen if they layered different liquids (ie: corn syrup, water, and body soap) on top of each other! Campers also so what happens if something has a higher volume of density! Would it sink or float?

PATCHOGUE FAMILY YMCA SUMMER DAY CAMP

Over the course of 2 weeks at our Patchogue/ Roe family YMCA, our teen and kiddy campers enjoyed swimming, meeting new friends, going go-carting, and doing some team-building exercises.

The fun arts and craft project one day this week was where campers combined baking soda and vinegar for an interesting reaction!

Our outdoor adventure space with a ropes course and a climbing net is the best way to challenge yourself, build confidence, and learn team-building skills with your friends!

YMCA EAST HAMPTON RECENTER SUMMER DAY CAMP

This week, ThinkWellnessNY held an activity with campers to create seed bombs. When they are dry, they can be thrown and when it rains, the seeds will start to sprout! We are looking forward to even more activities with our ThinkWellness partner over the course of the summer.

We announced our campers of the week, bounced in our inflatables, enjoyed some time in the pool learning how to swim and more.

YMCA AT GLEN COVE

Our Glen Cove branch also had an amazing end to our session 1, filled with fun activities, theme days, and new friendships! Some of our camper's favorite camp activities were starting out each camp day with some friendly competition and a game of tug-of-war. As the kids got on with their camp week they even enjoyed some water fun, learning how to do archery, and many more! 

On one of our really hot days, campers really made a splash for Wacky Water Day!
