You’ve seen how camp brings out something special in your child. Maybe it was their first time away from home, their first new friend, or the first time they tried something they weren’t sure they could do. Camp is full of these big little moments. 

Your first gift to the Y can help another child experience their own firsts at camp: their first paddle across the lake, their first campfire, their first time feeling like they truly belong. Your generosity provides scholarships for families who need a little extra help, so more kids can build confidence, make memories, and have a summer they’ll never forget.

YOUR IMPACT

  • A child forms lifelong friendships through shared experiences in the great outdoors.
  • A camper develops independence and leadership skills while navigating new adventures.
  • A family’s financial barriers are lifted, ensuring their child has access to the transformative power of camp.

WATCH DELILAH’S STORY OF IMPACT

“At camp, Delilah has a lot of physical and social freedom that she doesn’t have in other places. Her cerebral palsy affects her motor control, making some activities more challenging but she knows the camp. Here at camp, Delilah can try new things, make new friends, and have independence. She can do hard things, and we just want to give her the best environment to grow. Camp is doing that and more.” — Lindsay M., parent to camper Delilah
