Educational Insights from SAY Play Summer Camp
SAY Detroit is proud to share that our 2024 SAY Detroit Play Center at Lipke Park Summer Camp was the largest and most impactful yet! We had well over 200 students participating daily and can show improved learning in reading and math!
SAY Play’s Summer Camp participated in a pilot program sponsored by United Way/Ballmer Group and its 2024 Summer Discovery series. The program successfully helped narrow the learning gaps for students at SAY Play through literacy and educational programming, utilizing a holistic approach, integrating academics, wellness, youth development, sports and enrichment activities.
Mi-Cycle Bike Giveaway
Mi-Cycle is busy providing the power of two wheels to the Detroit community! On Saturday, Oct. 12, SAY Detroit’s Mi-Cycle gave away 233 bicycles to families involved with the Westside Cultural and Athletic Club and the River Rouge School District. It was all smiles on the beautiful fall day – especially when two little kids mastered riding a two-wheeler!
