Why Your Gift Matters

  • The average child spends 4 hours a day on screens
     
  • Greater screen time is associated with anxiety and depression in children.
     
  • 1 in 4 youth in Canada say they always or often feel lonely.
     
  • Camp fosters personal growth in key areas including social skills, self-confidence, emotional intelligence, and a love for physical activity and the outdoors
     
  • Children carry these lessons learned at camp with them for life.

Camp Builds Resilient Kids

YMCA summer camps provide a rare and valuable opportunity for kids to unplug from their devices and reconnect with nature, with each other, and with themselves. Away from screens, they build real friendships, develop independence, and engage in outdoor adventures that inspire curiosity and resilience.
