Send a Kid to Camp!

Summer. It's a memorable time for kids filled with fun, friends and family. Unfortunately, while many kids will enjoy the fun-filled days, games, friends and field trips found at summer camp, hundreds won’t get this chance. These kids will spend the summer alone, fending for themselves, without adult supervision.

With your help a donation of a few dollars - less than the cost for you and a friend to go to the movie - You Can Send A Kid To Camp! You can help a kid make memories that last a lifetime. YMCA of Arlington Camp offers an alternative to unsupervised summer days. Our camp programs are designed to make a positive impact on children and their families.

Help us send 50 kids to camp! We’re asking you to find it in your heart to help kids have the summer they deserve. Last year the YMCA of Arlington distributed more than $400,000 in financial aid to the Arlington, Mansfield, and Kennedale community so they could participate in Y programs like Summer Day Camp.

Make a secure donation today!

We count on the generosity of our members and the community to help people of all ages and from all walks fo life. Help us reach our goal of raising $432,000 this year! Your donation impacts the entire community--from people across town to the person working out in class right next to you. Thank you for your support!
