We understand the benefits of quality family time in the outdoors and want to make it as accessible as possible to families. If this seems like a great opportunity for your family but finances are a concern, please check out the following link to see if you qualify for funding from our Let’s Raise campaign.
Financial Assistance Application
Camp Chief Hector YMCA provides age-appropriate activities allowing families to choose to participate in as much or as little they’d like.
