Community Support Campaign
Have you ever thought about what it truly means to invest in the future?
At YMCA Camp Ocoee, your gift goes far beyond dollars—it transforms lives.
When you support Camp Ocoee, you're not just donating; you're helping shape the next generation of leaders, dreamers, and adventurers. Your generosity directly supports:
-
Financial assistance for families in need
-
Exceptional staff and facilities to ensure safety and excellence
-
Programs that foster achievement, belonging, and lifelong friendships
For over a century, Camp Ocoee has been more than just a place—it’s a launching pad for personal growth, resilience, and lifelong values.
Grounded in a strong Christian emphasis, our mission is to provide experiences that build character and strengthen the values of caring, honesty, respect, responsibility, and faith—for every camper who walks through our gates.
Your support is an investment in brighter futures. Thank you for believing in the power of camp.
"This has been such an invaluable experience for her and a blessing for us that cannot be expressed sufficiently in words. The feeling of being able to give your child hope and a new perspective on life is priceless and we could not have provided this without the generosity of the donors." - Camp Parent

YMCA Camp Ocoee Endowment Fund
Gifts to the Camp Ocoee Endowment Fund provide funding for camp scholarships. The Endowment Fund draws only on interest, never on principal. In this way we give everyone, and especially our youngsters, the security of knowing something about their future... that there will always be a Y. A gift of $10,000 will endow one scholarship a year for eternity.
Gifts take many forms including a bequest through one's will or trust, appreciated assets such as stock, naming the YMCA as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy or retirement account, or by making a direct cash contribution. A gift can be structured to provide financial security for you, as a donor, and your heirs while maximizing its impact for the Y. As a member of the Heritage Club, you send a message to the next generation that says, "We Care!"
For more information or to become a Heritage Club member, please contact Tripp McCallie at 423-265-8834 or tmccallie@ymcachattanooga.org.
