Help Send Kids to YMCA Camp Manitou-Lin in Summer 2026!

Every child deserves the chance to experience the magic of summer camp, regardless of their financial circumstances.

At YMCA Camp Manitou-Lin, camp is more than just a week away; it’s confidence gained on the climbing wall, friendships built around the campfire, and lifelong memories made in nature.

In 2025, generous donors made it possible for over 200 children to attend camp through our Camper Scholarship Campaign, and we said “YES” to every family in need. As we look ahead to 2026, the need is just as great.

No child should miss out on the magic of summer camp due to financial hardship—and because of you, they didn’t. Your donations gave campers the opportunity to enjoy days filled with adventure, discovery, and connection.

“I am hoping that my son can experience new things, make new friends and grow as an individual in a positive way!” - Jennifer, mom of Manny (age 11)

“I’m a single mother who works self-employed, and I would love for my daughters to enjoy camp this summer regardless of my financial circumstances. I would like them to gain friendships, leadership skills, explore new things, explore the outdoors, and have fun.” - Tashia, mom of Samantha & Arianna (ages 8 and 10)

“I have seen both of my kids grow so much each time they have come home from camp… Camp has helped them build confidence, and they absolutely love it.” - Christine, mom of Lukas & Lexi (ages 11 and 13)

Your donation today ensures that kids like Izzy, Manny, Samantha, and Lukas can grow, connect, and thrive at camp.

Join us in making summer unforgettable for every child. Together, we’re changing lives - one camper at a time.
