Support
Help support your camps.
YMCA Camps thrive because of generous alumni, families, and supporters who believe in the power of camp.
Your support — whether for a camper, a program, a facility, or a special event — ensures that children continue to experience the magic of camp for years to come.
Why Your Support Matters
Now more than ever, kids need camp. Your donation provides safe, inclusive, and engaging outdoor experiences where campers develop confidence, friendships, and lifelong skills.
Enhancing the camp experience. Your support helps maintain cabins, upgrade facilities, and expand programs — ensuring every camper enjoys a welcoming, comfortable, and fun-filled environment.
Breaking financial barriers. We believe every child deserves the chance to go to camp, regardless of their financial situation. Your contributions make that possible.
Together, we can send over 600 kids to camp and build modern, accessible cabins and activities for future generations!

Include Camp in Your Will
Creating a will doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. The YMCA of Three Rivers has partnered with Willfora to offer you a free, simple, and secure way to create your legal will online.
Did you know? Nearly half of Canadians don't have a will, leaving their wishes and loved ones unprotected. We want to change that by making will creation accessible to everyone in our community.
Please consider leaving a legacy gift by including camp in your estate planning. Your legacy gift ensures that future generations experience the same joy, friendships, and adventures that made camp special for you.
