Send a Kid to Camp.  Donate Now!

By sponsoring a child through YMCA Kids to Camp, you can make an impact in your community.  Kids to Camp means the difference between a child on the streets during the summer months, or a child engaged in arts and crafts, physical activity, outdoor adventures and healthy opportunities.  Sending a kid to camp is a simple act of caring and an important investment in our collective future.  Healthy kids grow into healthy adults.
