You made our day! Thank you for your generous gift to the Fred McIlhattan “Send a Kid to Camp” Scholarship Fund. Because of you, a child will experience the joy, confidence, and adventure that come with a summer at Camp Coffman.

Each day at camp, children from all walks of life ride the bus together, arriving ready for a day filled with discovery. Thanks to your generosity, they’ll spend their summer fishing in the pond, soaring on the zip line, climbing new heights, learning about farm life, exploring nature, and digging their hands into the garden. Most importantly, they’ll be building friendships, confidence, and lifelong memories—far away from screens and surrounded by the beauty of the outdoors.

Your gift also carries forward a special legacy. The Fred McIlhattan Camp Coffman Scholarship Fund was established in 2021 at the Scenic Rivers YMCA in memory of Fred, alongside his wife Teresa and their children Andrea and Fredrick Jr. Fred believed deeply in the power of the outdoors and in investing in young people. He saw Camp Coffman as a place where children could grow, explore, and create memories that would shape their future.

Because of your generosity, that vision continues today. A child who might not otherwise have the opportunity will spend a summer learning, growing, and discovering just how much they are capable of.

Thank you for investing in the next generation and helping create meaningful experiences for the youth in our community.
