WE’RE MORE THAN A PLACE.
WE’RE A CAUSE.
At the Y, we know that every child can benefit from camp. We also know that not all children have
what they need to thrive. That’s why together, with the generous support of our donors, we provide
camp scholarships for families who need us most.
If your family needs assistance, let us help. At the Y, no one is turned away because of inability to pay.
Or, you can help send a child to camp!
When you give to the Y, you give a child in need the
chance to experience the life-changing power of camp.
