Scholarship

Last year, this scholarship program provided the opportunity for nearly 230 children to really be themselves and enjoy time during the summer at YMCA Camp Indian Springs.

Scholarships are essential to the character of the YMCA Camp Indian Springs experience because they provide kids who might not have the means to attend camp, with the opportunity to benefit from a uniquely supportive environment, and contribute their individual talents and backgrounds to make that environment reflective of the whole society. At YMCA Camp Indian Springs kids can be kids and enjoy a wide range of activities, from skate boarding, swimming, to hiking, sports, or crafts while making lasting friendships with other campers from all walks of life.

YMCA Camp Indian Springs YMCA is committed to providing the means for 225 kids to attend our Resident Camp program this summer, at a cost of approximately over $50,000. We rely heavily on the support of our community of alumni and friends to meet this essential financial goal. The cost of sending a child to our various camps is listed below:

  • Resident Camp, $90 to provide a day at resident camp, $540/week
  • Day Camp, $28 to provide a day at day camp, $140/week

Please consider making a contribution to our Scholarship Program, so that we can help create wonderful memories for some children who would not otherwise be able to have the camping experience. We appreciate your past support and hope that you can help us in our mission to continue spreading the Camp Spirit. If you have any questions regarding this program, please feel free to contact the Business Office at 850-926-3361.

Thank you in advance for your generosity.

 

Annual Giving

Children today, in their busy and chaotic worlds, need an opportunity just to be kids. They need a place where it is safe to play, a place where they can learn to get along with each other, and a place where they are encouraged to believe in themselves and their future. That place is the YMCA Camp Indian Springs. For over 33 years, YMCA Camp Indian Springs has provided a place for thousands of kids from across the nation to grow in a positive environment. Whether during the warm days of summer or throughout the year in one of our community programs, children and families explore, play, laugh and most importantly, they grow. Confidence. Independence, Honesty, Caring, Respect, Responsibility & Faith. These gifts are priceless.

This year, as you think of giving gifts to loved ones and friends who have affected your life, consider giving a gift to a place…camp. Consider giving a gift to a place that has helped you or your child or your grandchild or someone dear in your life or a member of your community discovers his or her potential. A very special place that has helped them grow mentally, physically, spiritually and socially.  

Your gift today to YMCA Camp Indian Springs will ensure that we will be here tomorrow so that each child may experience what we call the Camp Spirit. Consider becoming an even greater part of the Camp Family by helping spread YMCA's light to the next generation.
