Summer camp is a big time for the Y. We hire more than 1,000 new employees to serve more than 13,000 campers every year. The best part is many of our staff were once campers themselves, or have children in our camps. We asked staff to share their best experiences.

Since 2014, Y afterschool children in Greenpoint have about healthy living and smart eating habits in a fun and hands-on environment in a garden tucked into McCarren Park.
