Dear Friend of Camp Arbolado,

Last year marked an extraordinary milestone—100 years of Camp Arbolado. For a full century, this special place has shaped lives, built character, and created lifelong memories for thousands of young people.

Camp Arbolado has always been more than a destination—it’s a turning point. For many campers, it’s their first time seeing snow, hiking a mountain, or truly feeling part of a community. It’s where confidence takes root, friendships flourish, and lives are transformed.

As we move beyond our centennial and look ahead to the next 100 years, we invite you to continue this incredible legacy. Whether you’re a former camper, a champion of youth development, or someone who believes in the power of nature and community, your donation or planned gift can help ensure Camp Arbolado thrives for generations to come.

If you’d like to learn more about how you can give or get involved, please don’t hesitate to reach out. You can contact me directly—Juan Aceves—at jaceves@ymcawhittier.org.
