2019 Camp Jorn Giving Tuesday Campaign

#GivingTuesday2019

The holidays provide time for gratitude and reflection- we are grateful for friends like you who help us remain relevant and available to all. We're asking you to join us in making a donation today, December 3, 2019, so that children everywhere can enjoy our life-changing Resident Camp, Day Camp and Child Care programs. Your support makes our community stronger. Together, we can change lives!

Who We Are

Located in Manitowish Waters, WI on a 70+ acre peninsula, Camp Jorn YMCA, has provided boys and girls the opportunity to become part of a special community focused on friendship, acceptance, character values, self-discovery, and independence, for more than 60 years!

Why We Give

Thanks to the generosity of our donors we were able to help give the gift of camp to 127 Resident and 28 Day Campers for our 2019 season. 27% of our Resident Camp and 13% of our Day Camp population was on some sort of financial assistance. Our scholarships helped fund between 10-100% of camper fees for qualifying families. We gave away over $125,000 worth of scholarships to happy campers like Tiffany, who was able to experience summer camp for the first time thanks to our scholarship program. Tiffany credits Camp Jorn for helping her see life differently and being able to try new things, like going on a four-day hiking camp and tubing. Tiffany was so inspired by her time at Camp that she wanted to pay it forward and donated $20 from money she earned towards future camperships. 

We and our donors are committed to providing this opportunity to children of all ages, backgrounds, abilities, and incomes. When you donate to Camp Jorn you are making camp affordable for families that would otherwise not be able to benefit from our life changing programs and services.

If you would like the chance to change a child’s life, to help them make new friends, connect with nature, and impact their lives in a positive and meaningful way, please consider contributing to our #GivingTuesday Campaign. 

Thank you for considering Camp Jorn.

Kindly,

Your friends at Camp Jorn YMCA
