SUMMER FOR ALL: Every Child Deserves a Camp Story: Help Make YMCA Camps & Swim Lessons Accessible to All Do More 24 Delaware 2025

Organization Mission:

The YMCA of Delaware’s mission is to empower youth, foster healthy living, and promote strong communities. Our vision is a healthy, inclusive community where all people reach their full potential.

Every Child Deserves a Camp Story!

Help Us Make YMCA Camp Accessible to All!

Each summer, YMCA camps ignite curiosity, courage, and friendships in the hearts of over 5,000 young adventurers across Delaware. From exciting day camps statewide to the unforgettable overnight adventures at YMCA Camp Tockwogh in Worton, MD, YMCA camps offer local youth the chance to build lifelong memories, explore new skills, and develop lasting friendships.

Together, Let's Create Magic
Last summer alone, our camps welcomed 5,758 children and teens. Thanks to compassionate donors like you, 1 in 5 of these campers received critical financial assistance—over $2 million from YMCA and state-funded scholarships—making camp accessible for families in need.

Your generosity ensures no child misses out on the joy and enrichment of summer camp due to financial challenges.

Your Donation Opens Doors
  • $50 provides one child with a full day of laughter, exploration, and new experiences at a YMCA Day Camp.
  • $250 sponsors an entire week of transformative adventures, friendship-building, and personal growth for one child.
  • $1,000 gives a child in need an entire month filled with unforgettable YMCA Day Camp memories.
  • $2,500 offers a truly life-changing experience—either two weeks at our renowned overnight YMCA Camp Tockwogh or 10 amazing weeks at YMCA Day Camps in their local community.

For 24 hours, you have the power to dramatically impact a child's summer. Every donation is more than a financial gift—it’s a passport to discovery, growth, and happiness in a safe, nurturing environment.

Together, let’s ensure every child in our community experiences the magic of camp. Your generosity today creates brighter futures tomorrow!
