YPartners Annual Support Campaign

Become an Icaghowan Y Partner and help kids, camp and families!
The Camp Icaghowan Y Partners Campaign is an annual fundraising drive that provides essential financial resources for camp. The funds raised help us to:

  • Offer camperships to low-income youth and families
  • Purchase essential program equipment and supplies
  • Provide quality training programs for camp staff
  • Subsidize every camper's experience to keep Icaghowan available to everyone

Passionate volunteers run our Y Partners Campaign. Contributions are recruited in person, by phone, or by mail.  YMCA Camping has an amazing effect on youth and we can't thank you enough for your support!
