Let's Create Smiles Together!

At the YMCA, we believe that developing social responsibility in our youth is crucial for building a better future. Our camp environment serves as a powerful platform to instill values of compassion, empathy, and active citizenship in our campers. We want to equip them with the skills and mindset necessary to make a positive impact on their communities and the world at large.

The YMCA incorporates philanthropy into its mission of providing socially responsible education during summer camp through community service projects, partnerships with local organizations, fundraising initiatives, education and awareness, and empowering camper-led initiatives.

By incorporating philanthropy into their summer camp programs, the YMCA aims to instill in campers a lifelong commitment to making a positive impact on their communities. These experiences not only contribute to the personal growth and character development of campers but also cultivate a sense of social responsibility that extends beyond the camp experience into their daily lives.

Thank you again, we couldn't do this without you!
