Support Camp Icaghowan

Since 1909, we have provided life-changing experiences for youth and families. On the shores of Lake Wapogasset we’ve evolved our programming to meet the needs of the communities we serve. While some activities have changed, many of our much-loved traditions endure.

As always, we are committed to working diligently to serve our campers and meet the needs of the community. In light of the impact of COVID-19, and with summer just around the corner, Camp Icaghowan hopes to be a place where campers experience the great outdoors by riding a horse, shooting a bow and arrow, playing Gaga Ball, singing songs around a campfire, paddling canoes and kayaks, and searching for tadpoles at the isthmus.

In 2019, 200 campers received financial assistance totaling over $80,000. 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. This year, we anticipate the need will grow.

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 and maintain our facilities
• Provide quality training programs for camp staff
