BE A CHAMP FOR CAMP

From the isolation of the pandemic to the devastation of the Marshall Fire, local children are struggling.

At the Y, we believe in the healing power of camp. Summer camp gives children and teens connection, activity, mentors, confidence, resilience and safe spaces while their parents work. It helps prevent summer learning loss and supports language skills during the school break. And for children in trauma, like those impacted by the Marshall Fire, summer camp provides an opportunity for healing, recovery and much-needed fun.

Camp allows kids to be kids.

Each summer, thousands of children attend YMCA of Northern Colorado day and overnight camps.

For more than 500 of those campers, their summer experiences are only made possible because of donor-funded financial assistance. We believe that all children deserve sunshine, silliness, fresh air and bug bites (yes, even bug bites). We believe all children should have the opportunity to build gnome homes, cannonball into a sun-sparkling pool and come home exhausted, dirty and elated. We believe children need support to work through trauma, access to mentors who have training in social-emotional learning and programs that restore their emotional and physical health. We believe families need a partner in parenting all year long (not just when school is in session).

In 2022, the YMCA of Northern Colorado is setting a goal of raising $800,000 to provide camp scholarships for 250 children impacted by the fires. We are looking for champions to ensure that children impacted by the Marshall Fire have a summer filled with laughter, friendship and activities that keep their minds and bodies active, so they can heal from isolation, stress and loss.
