This is a $500 value per child offered at NO COST.

Send A Kid to Camp

Many local families are struggling to make ends meet due to job layoffs, reductions in work hours, or extended tours of duty in the military. Yet every year, generous donors make it possible for kids to experience YMCA Camp, for example a single mother of two young boys who received camperships to attend YMCA Camp last summer.

You can make it possible for kids to experience the joys, magic and fun of YMCA Camp this summer by contributing to our Kids to Camp Campaign. Donate today!
