Your Day of Giving gift opens the door to life‑changing camp experiences where children discover confidence, friendship, and a deep sense of belonging.
Fairview Lake YMCA Camps give children the chance to:
Build confidence as they try new activities
Form friendships that last far beyond summer
Spend time outdoors in a safe, caring environment
Feel accepted for who they are
Grow emotionally, socially, and physically
Camp isn’t simply a week away from home. It is a place where children discover who they can become, supported by trained counselors and surrounded by nature’s best classrooms.
When you give on Day of Giving, you help ensure that finances never stand in the way of a child experiencing the magic of camp.

A Story Of Impact
When Jordan first arrived at Fairview Lake, he was shy, cautious, and unsure about being away from home. By the end of the week, everything changed. Jordan learned to paddle a canoe, made a best friend in his cabin, conquered the climbing wall, and left camp with a confidence that carried into the school year. He discovered joy in being outdoors, pride in trying new things, and a community where he felt like he truly belonged. Stories like Jordan’s are only possible because of donors who choose to make camp accessible for all.
