Camp Foster YMCA

What it reported doing in 2025

Statement of Program Service Accomplishments Part III Camp Foster YMCA is a non-profit organization served by a volunteer Board of Directors of up to 15 members. A full-time CEO and seventeen full-time staff implement the policies set by the Board. Camp Foster YMCA utilizes numerous volunteers to work with youth in a variety of programs on a year-round basis. Camp Foster serves youth and adults locally, as well as throughout the country. Youth Development Our YMCA is committed to nurturing the potential of every child and teen. We believe all kids have great potential and deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. That's why we help young people cultivate the values, skills, and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health, and educational achievement. Our YMCA programs, such as Y Kids Club, Summer Adventure Club, and Camp Foster Day Camp and Resident Camp, offer a range of experiences that enrich social-emotional, cognitive, and physical growth. Expenses include subsidies and direct financial assistance that make participation possible for 5 percent of the young people we engage. Healthy Living The Y is committed to improving America's health and well-being, community by community. We bring families closer together, encourage good health, and foster connections through fitness, sports, fun, and shared interests. As a result, over 5,000 people in our community are receiving the support, guidance, and resource they need to achieve greater health in spirit, mind, and body. This is particularly important as our nation struggles with chronic disease and obesity, families wrestle with work/life balance, and individuals search for personal fulfillment. Our programs are accessible, affordable, and open to all faiths, background, abilities, and income levels. In 2025, we provided over $85,000 in financial assistance to people who otherwise might not have been able to afford to participate. Social Responsibility Our YMCA believes in giving back and supporting our neighbors. We have been listening and responding to our community's most critical social needs for more than 110 years. Y programs, such as Reading Buddies, Delay the Disease Parkinson's Support, and Volunteer Coaching are examples of how we deliver training, resources, and support that empower our neighbors to effect change, bridge gaps, and overcome obstacles. In 2025, we engaged over 9,000 YMCA members, participants, and volunteers in activities that strengthen our community and pave the way for future generations to thrive. (Based on 5,000 members throughout the year, 3,500 campers/groups & conference participants, 300 volunteers, 100 Y Kids, 80 Reading Buddies 55Kids, and 60 Safety Around Water participants.)
