Help Us to Strengthen Our Community
When you give to YMCA Camp Grady Spruce, you strengthen the foundation of our community. Through each program YMCA Camp Grady Spruce forms communities of participants. They are taught how live together, work together and solve problems together. After time at camp, these participants, be it summer campers, Outdoor Education students, families or groups, return to their own communities better able to strengthen the foundation of the community.
As the nation’s leading nonprofit for youth development, healthy living and social responsibility, the YMCA uses your gift to make a meaningful and enduring impact. As a part of the YMCA, Camp Grady Spruce wants to Thank You for helping us make the positive life-changing experience of camp available to all!
“[Dear Donor,] You sponsored my camp tuition for several summers during my childhood. Growing up, things were very difficult for my family. While I don’t regret anything about my childhood, or our family dynamic, things were still very difficult at home and I often felt lost. Camp was the one place I felt I could escape all of the hard things I was going through at home. I learned so much about my inner-strength at camp, and I often tell people that camp saved me from some of the darkest times in my life. That said, I wanted you to know that you saved my life.”
