YMCA CAMP SLOPER CAPITAL CAMPAIGN
Providing for the Next Generation

YMCA Camp Sloper has embarked on some significant upgrades and improvements in the last year thanks to the generosity of so many supporters!

To date, we have completed the following capital projects:

Installed over 850 feet of sewer lines throughout the property
Constructed the Bradley & Leila Barnes Spray and Splash Park
Built the new Calvanese Foundation Restrooms and new handicap assessable bathrooms attached to McLeod Pavilion
Renovated the Knight Family Pavilion on the West Coast of the camp (formally the Turtle Pavilion)
Created a new open field play area adjacent to the newly renovated Mathieu Family Pavilion (formally the Old Pavilion)
Completed Save Sloper Pond Dredging Project

Constructed the Soccodato Family Pavilion in the lower field next to the Ninja Warrior Course

All of these improvements have been extremely helpful and very well received by our camp families this past summer. We were also able to open up the Bradley & Leila Barnes Spray and Splash Park on the weekends for Y-members and Southington and Cheshire residents, averaging over 100 visitors a day on the weekends. THANK YOU so much to all of our donors who have helped make these projects a reality!

We are about to begin PHASE 2 of our YMCA Camp Sloper Capital Campaign and still need some additional support and donations to bring these projects to life!

Phase 2 of the YCS Capital Campaign includes:

· Design and construction of a new Camp Office/Infirmary

· Construct a Zip line Course

We STILL Need Your Help!

Our YCS Capital Campaign continues with the public phase, so we are asking any and all supporters to help support the Camp Office Expansion project!

The YMCA Camp Sloper Outdoor Center is a program center of the Southington-Cheshire Community YMCAs utilized by members, guests, families, companies, churches, civic organizations, schools, and of course, campers. Our Day Camp stands proud as our flagship program. It serves approximately 4,600 plus campers each summer, allowing them to build self-confidence, develop leadership skills, learn values, be active, make new friends, and appreciate nature and the great outdoors.

In addition, YMCA Camp Sloper reaches over 10,000 youth, teens, and adults through environmental education, team building, facility rentals, and special events each year. This beautiful facility consists of forests, fields, and streams and the centerpiece of the property is the 19-acre Sloper Pond, used for swimming, boating, fishing, and more. Surrounding the pond are miles of marked trails, carefully placed buildings & pavilions, program areas, and other structures that help us fulfill our mission.
