Annual Campaign
We have heard from so many families that their experiences at YMCA Camp Cory have been life changing; that the relationships they have formed are unique and precious; that the values and experiences are essential to who they are and the lives they live—professionally and personally.
YMCA Camp Cory is a place where lifelong friendships are created, core values are taught, and precious memories are made. Each day we work hard at providing financial options for children around the world to experience Camp Cory. With your help, every child can have access to Camp Cory, allowing them to make their own fantastic memories and friendships.
Together we make a difference in the lives of thousands of people and a huge impact on each individual we serve. Your gift to the Annual Campaign at YMCA Camp Cory will give a child the chance to thrive. No one is ever turned away. Your kindness can give the chance of a lifetime to the people who need it most.
Project 241
Project 241 is our promise to our community to ensure all children experience the incredible power of camping, regardless of their financial means. Supporting Project 241 ensures every camper the opportunity to experience the many wonders and joys that camp has to offer.
Your gift truly makes a difference:
- $1,905 will enable a teen to develop self-esteem and leadership skills through the Counselor-in-Training Program.
- $850 will allow a child to make friends, learn new skills and develop self-confidence during a week of overnight camping.
- $520 will allow a family to attend a Family Camp Weekend at Camp Cory, providing them an opportunity to connect and enjoy the great outdoors, while having fun together.
- $460 will provide a young camper the mini camp experience, allowing young children an opportunity to spread their wings and grow during a three day overnight camp experience.
- $225 will allow a child to enjoy a week of Day Camp at Camp Cory, and give parents peace of mind knowing that they are having fun in a safe, positive environment while at work.

Every dollar raised by the Annual Campaign to fund the above priorities represents a dollar not drawn from the endowment for the same purpose, and allows the endowment to thrive and grow so that we can change lives for the better for another century.
