Every week, children are encouraged to use their imaginations to act out, draw or even cook what they have read. Thanks to the support of the Rauch Foundation the YMCA provides certified specialists who use an interactive and engaging curriculum created by our Literacy Cabinet for the camp season. Campers age 3 through grade 3 participate in Imagination Station. Children are assessed at the start of camp and at the end of camp. Great South Bay YMCA Summer Day Camp
