"I couldn't be happier to see the positive impact camp continues to have on my son's life. It's not just about fun and games, it's about nurturing personal growth, fostering lifelong friendships, and instilling values that will stay with him throughout his life." - Camp Parent. This summer, over 3,900 kids are building confidence and enjoying activities like swimming, rope courses, sports and more at our overnight camps. Over 400 of those campers received scholarships, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

We want to give a huge shout-out to all the sponsors, attendees, and volunteers who made this event possible. Through your generosity, we raised over $75,000 to support Lowe’s YMCA and Exchange Club of Mooresville/Lake Norman community initiatives like childhood literacy programs, drowning prevention, and providing safe places for families.
