WE DECLARE A COLOR WAR!

Join the Mighty Ursa and the Soaring Raptors as they fight to win Color War 2024!

How does it work?

You can make a donation to support one of the teams, and whichever team has the most donations will earn points toward their total score!

Where does the money go?

100% of the money raised during this and all of our fundraising efforts goes directly back into our camps and the communities we serve. Nearly 1 in 4 campers receive financial assistance each summer across all of our camp programs.

What is Color War?

Color War is a SURPRISE two-day event that splits camp into two teams: the Ursa, represented by the Black Bear, and the Raptor, represented by the Red-tailed Hawk. The best parts of Color War have always been the teamwork, competition, fun, sportsmanship, joy, excitement, and camaraderie that our campers and staff experience. The spirit and goal of Color War is to provide a place for campers and staff to showcase their talents – athletic, musical, and intellectual; and to celebrate the individual and team accomplishments that take place for two exciting days. Color War teaches valuable lessons in both winning and losing.

Y for All: The Y is a leading 501 c(3) nonprofit organization for youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility. Through funds raised from the Annual Campaign and special events, we are able to provide financial assistance to qualifying individuals and families so that everyone has a chance to learn, grow and thrive at the Y.
