Help Us Fill the Bus
With summer 2025 fast approaching, we are asking this amazing community to come together and help us fill the bus — many buses! Let's uplift camper scholarships and increase access to an unforgettable summer.
A donation of $64 will fill one seat on the bus. How many seats would you like to help us fill?!
Our Mission
Partnering with you, we are on a mission to fill buses from each and every neighborhood in the Twin Cities with kids of every background.
Your Support Matters
Throughout the history of Y camps, we have seen the magic that unfolds when we come together.
In 2024 alone, 1,422 individuals and families were awarded camper scholarships, made largely possible through donor support.
