IMAGINATION STATION … the FUN way the Y builds literacy skills. The YMCA “Imagination Station” is an integral component of YMCA summer day camp and helps children prevent the “summer slide,” the phenomena where students tend to fall back in reading and comprehension during summer months as a result of not reading for three months. 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.
