Send a kid to camp this summer!

Support a smile with YMCA of Greater Hartford by helping make summer camp a reality.

Give to the Kids to Camp Campaign

Summer camp is a dynamic life changing experience where positive role models and new adventures can solidify a young person’s future success in life. Yet for many families, the camp experience is not financially feasible.

Every week we hear of families with extra medical bills, sudden unemployment issues, oversees war duties and divorce. Summer camp provides that extra boost of excitement and fun that can re-focus a child off of the daily struggles and help them capture a new perspective and positive approach to life.

You can help make camp a reality for a child this summer. The need is still there and requests continue to come in for financial assistance.

Please consider helping a child in financial need today.
