Over the past several weeks, generous Y supporters came together to raise more than $205,000 to help send kids to YMCA camp this summer!

Because of this incredible generosity, our 2026 Send a Kid to Camp Campaign was truly one for the record books – providing more than 4,100 days of camp for children in our community.

Whether by making a personal gift, sharing information about our 2026 Send a Kid to Camp Campaign on social media, or inviting friends and family members to learn more about the Y’s youth development work, we want to thank everyone in the Y community for making an AMAZING difference. With the help of charitable, kids have the opportunity to experience a summer filled with friendship, confidence, and unforgettable memories.

While this year’s campaign has officially come to a close, there’s still time to support the YMCA’s mission and help create opportunities for kids and families all year long.
