HUNTINGTON YMCA SUMMER DAY CAMP
The Fun Keeps Going!
Here at the Y summer camp, the fun never stops! At our Huntington location, campers had an amazing day of arts and crafts! They made paper plate colorful fish. Campers so enjoyed playing GAGA!
How do you play Gaga you ask?
A camper throws the ball up in the air and lets it bounce 3x and every time the ball bounces on the ground before someone touches it, where the kids have to say GA-GA. Once the ball hits the ground it's game on! Once a camper has the ball, they can roll it to anyone. If the ball touches them, they are out. If the camper touches the ball with their hands they are safe! Our campers love it. Many of them say that this their favorite game at camp!
The kids also love doing different kinds of crafts, they get to be creative and make some of their favorite projects from painting to making lanyards and more!

GREAT SOUTH BAY YMCA SUMMER DAY CAMP
Water Fun and More!
We're beating the heat with some fun activities! Our Campers not only love the water slides and other water games, but also enjoy the various sports that they can participate in! At our Great South Bay location, the kids learn how to play soccer!
The kids also love using the fuse beads in arts and crafts! These cool small heat-activated beads are also great for learning fine-motor skills of pinching and color matching!
We hope your kids are having the best summer with us!
