At YMCA Camp Widjiwagan, we believe every child should experience a summer of imagination, wonder and adventure. As a nonprofit organization, we commit ourselves to removing financial barriers to camp through our camp scholarships.

Why should I send a child to camp?

As Camp Widjiwagan, our campers:

  • Forge friendships as they bond with their peers over common interests.
  • Learn character values from volunteers, staff and fellow campers who serve as role models.
  • Grow their confidence as they challenge themselves to explore new experiences.

  • A full week of Day Camp is possible with a $325 gift.
  • A child can spend a full week at Overnight Camp for a full week with a $695 gift.
