The New York YMCA Camp's mission of providing a safe community for children from around the globe could not be accomplished without the continuing support of our donors, staff, volunteers and alumni. We would like to thank everyone who has supported us in 2009 and invite you to join us as we continue to build a global community.
Strong Kids Campaign
We believe that every child deserves the experience of a YMCA summer camp, regardless of the financial difficulties their family might be facing. The New York YMCA Camp is a place for children to laugh, learn and grow in an environment of caring, safety and support, and we are proud that here the character values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility guide all that we do.
Your contribution to the YMCA's annual Strong Kids Campaign ensures that no child or family is turned away because of the inability to pay.
“…Her experience produced vivid lifelong memories. We eagerly anticipate what her camp adventures will bring for her next summer! Although the time spent at camp seems brief, the depth of what she received was immeasurable. I sent you a young girl and a young woman returned.” … Charlotte P.
Volunteering
New York YMCA Camp has many different volunteer opportunities available throughout the year. Many volunteers come to enjoy the outdoors through service projects such as trail maintenance, landscaping and maple sugaring. Others enjoy working indoors with our office staff. To learn how you can volunteer at camp please contact Douglas Ridley at dridley@ymcanyc.org.
