KIDS TO CAMP
After months of distancing, we would love nothing more than to bring together our children and teens for a magical week of warm weather, smiling faces, and lots of time spent outdoors. Sadly, the pandemic and economic crisis have forced the Y to take the difficult step of telling families we must cancel this summer’s camp program for the first time in our Y’s 105 years of camping. As always, our highest priorities must be to protect the safety of everyone and to withstand this pause to operations so that the Y will be here to provide camp next year.
We are determined to be back in 2021 for every kid missing out on Camp Whittle, Camp Round Meadow, and Camp High Sierra this summer. To build up essential resources for next year and sustain our Y today, we need your help now. You can donate the equivalent of seven nights of camp to a child for $650, or you may give $250, $100 or $50, or any amount you can offer to this year’s Kids to Camp fund to ensure we emerge stronger than ever.
This is a summer like no other, one we won’t soon forget. We will truly miss spending time with our campers, seeing them discover confidence, friendship, and their vast potential. But we know that with your help, we will create future camp experiences that will be even more unforgettable and will open a world of possibilities for the kids who need YMCA camp the most.
