Day Camp Supervisor and kids in the gym Day Camp Supervisor and kids in the gym

For many of us, camp is something we remember.

Camp It Forward is about making sure today’s kids have that same opportunity. Whether for a week or longer, YMCA camps create experiences that stay with children long after camp ends.

Each year, children need financial support to attend camp. Without it, they miss out.

Camp It Forward is about passing the experience of camp on to the next generation.
