"The joy of seeing kids both expand their horizons and just plain have fun is why I give to camp with my time and my money. And the rewards are worth far more than the cost." - Walter Parkinson, North Woods Alumni.

For campers in need. Safe spaces for kids and families to learn and grow. Resources to help everyone live better lives. These are just a few of the many reasons to give to the YMCA of Greater Boston's Overnight Camps. Donations bring our camp community together.

Camp offers programming rooted in tradition and focused on improving both physical and mental health while empowering campers to be the best they can be. For families who are financially struggling, camp is life-changing providing respite from the challenges of daily life, a caring community with an open heart and non-judgmental ear, and FUN. Lots and lots of FUN! Camp is an experience we believe everyone deserves to have.

We have received over 200 requests for financial support from deserving families for summer 2022 and the pile of applications continues to grow. We realize we cannot offer support without your help. A gift of any size helps us remove access barriers and allows us to say YES to supporting each and every family. Thank you for giving during this pivotal time - we sincerely appreciate your generosity and choosing camp as your charity of choice.
