"Send a Kid to Camp" Event
Date: April 27, 2025 | Time: 5-8 p.m. | Location: YMCA Camp Weaver
The YMCA Camp Weaver Annual Giving Campaign “Send a Kid to Camp” program provides scholarships for kids who could otherwise not attend summer camp, allowing them to participate in valuable outdoor education opportunities. Event includes dinner, a live auction, silent auction, cash bar, live music, line dancing, impact stories, hay rides, s’mores, photo booth and more.
Many children never have the opportunity to experience the magic of camp and it is our goal to ensure that every child has this opportunity. Camp helps kids to do better in school, lessening the detrimental effects of summer learning loss and builds invaluable self-confidence.
