Share the JOY of Camp this holiday season
As winter settles in, the warmth of Camp Chief Hector YMCA continues to glow, in friendships rekindled, memories shared, and the sparks of JOY that outlast every season.
Through Campfire Friends, you can leave your mark and help that legacy shine even brighter. Join us in creating a beautiful art installation made from personalized tree cookies: each one celebrating the stories, memories, and generosity of our alumni and friends.
Your gift helps nearly 1,000 children and youth experience the magic of camp, regardless of their financial circumstances. Together, we’ll keep the campfire burning and share the JOY of belonging for generations to come.
Personalized Tree Cookies
Each tree cookie in the Bowfort Lodge installation will be crafted from fallen trees at Camp Chief Hector YMCA, making every piece truly part of camp. Your name and design will be etched into the wood, creating a unique symbol of your connection to this special place.
Choose from Three Levels of Participation
- $100 for an 8-10cm tree cookie inscribed with your first name (2-year term)
- $1,930 for an 18-20cm tree cookie inscribed with your full name or family name and camp inspired image (2-year term)
- $5,000 for a 30cm tree cookie inscribed with up to 3 names/family name and camp inspired image (4-year term)
Every tree cookie in Bowfort Lodge will be a visible reminder of your support in helping camp thrive for the next 100 years, ensuring generations to come can create their own campfire stories.
