Strong Kids Campaign

In 2007, YMCA Camp Ockanickon, Inc. provided

• 73 boys the opportunity to attend Camp Ockanickon for Boys and 68 girls the opportunity to attend Camp Matollionequay for Girls.

They increased their self-confidence, courage and independence. Through experiential based learnings, they had opportunities to develop life-skills and values while having fun in the outdoors.

• 165 boys and girls the opportunity to attend Lake Stockwell Day Camp where they shared experiences that foster positive relationships, healthy risk-taking and acceptance.

• 18 boys and girls the opportunity to attend our School Age Child Care program located in their own school. This provides a fun and safe after-school option.

We build strong kids...

Camp gives a child the opportunity of a lifetime. It is a place where they can reconnect with nature, get unplugged, build positive relationships, and engage in human-powered activites such as boating and swimming in a real lake!

Campers gain independence, responsibility and learn teamwork from interacting with peers in a safe setting. .

Many of us were lucky enough to have these experiences as children. Help us give that
to future generations.

We want to ensure that …

• Youth have a safe and enriching after-school and summer day camp experience.

• Youth and teens have a quality overnight resident camp experience in a safe and secure environment.

• Youth are afforded the opportunity to increase their self-confidence, courage, friendship skills, resilience, self-worth, and self identity as well as having fun.
