Give to Camp Widjiwagan

Donate Online

Annual Fund

Each year during the Annual Fund, we ask for your support to keep a long-standing tradition of exceptional camp experiences alive and well. Your donation helps campers develop character, build skills, learn from nature, and make lasting friends and memories.  

Many of our scholarship recipients have never been on a family vacation, paddled a canoe or ridden a horse. Your donation makes these life-changing experiences possible for all children, regardless of their family’s income. 

With your help, the YMCA can:

  • Offer camp scholarships so that no one is turned away due to financial need 
  • Purchase essential program equipment and supplies 
  • Provide quality training programs for camp staff

A great way to support Widjiwagan is through a personal gift to the endowment fund, either as an immediate donation or as a gift in your estate plan.

Not only can this provide a tax benefit to you and your heirs, but it will bring priceless benefit to our camp community long into the future.
