EVERY CHILD DESERVES A CAMP STORY:
Help Us Make Y Camp Accessible to All!
Join us in igniting the spark of discovery and friendship in the hearts of over 5,000 young adventurers this summer across our YMCA of Delaware camps.
At YMCA day camps across Delaware and our incredible overnight camping experience at YMCA Camp Tockwogh in Worton, MD, we offer a world of outdoor adventure, skill-building opportunities, and the development of lifelong friendships for thousands of local youth and teens.
Last year, our camps were a summer sanctuary for nearly 5,0000 youth, with 1 in 5 families embarking on this journey through the support of financial assistance, amounting to over $1.5 million in YMCA and state -funded scholarships.
These joyful experiences are only possible thanks to the generous contributions of donors like you. Your support is a lifeline that extends the reach of our camps to every family, ensuring that no child is left behind due to financial constraints.
For every $50 you generously contribute, you sponsor a day at camp filled with laughter, learning, and adventure for a local child this summer.
For every donation of $250, you will provide a child in need with a full week of unforgettable experiences, new skills, and lasting friendships.
A transformative gift of $2,500 will provide a child with a two-week, life-altering overnight camp experience at our YMCA Camp Tockwogh
In this exciting 24-hour giving campaign, we invite you to be a cornerstone of change and hope in our shared community. Your donation is not just a gift but a passport for a child to explore, grow, and dream in the safe, nurturing embrace of YMCA summer camps.
Together, we can guarantee that every family has access to essential and enriching summer childcare and that every young person in our community has the chance to flourish this summer.
