June 3, 2024, marked the start of another year at Camp Discovery for over 200 children at 4 separate locations here in Northwest Illinois! As this season gets underway, we're reaching out to you for support to make sure every child has the opportunity to join us, regardless of the financial constraints their families may face.

While we take care of organizing t-shirts, snacks, and a wide range of activities, we recognize that some families may find it challenging to cover the costs associated with camp. For many parents, summer brings both excitement and worry as they navigate how to provide enriching experiences for their children amidst budgetary constraints.

Your ongoing support can play a crucial role in ensuring that our YMCA remains accessible to all children this summer!

The YMCA Camp Discovery keeps kids active, indoors and outdoors, and away from screens, making memories that last a lifetime while their parents are at work.

Together, we're part of a community dedicated to ensuring every child has access to a fulfilling summer experience. Your contribution today will make a tangible difference in the lives of local children.

Thank you for considering a gift to the YMCA considering over 70% of our children rely on financial assistance, a significant number that underscores the immense need for your support; your support is instrumental in creating lasting memories and strengthening our community.

P.S. Your donation will help make this summer unforgettable for countless children in our community. Please donate today to support YMCA Day Camp Discovery.
