Helping Kids Shine On at Camp
Each year, the YMCA of Greater Toronto welcomes thousands of children aged 4 to 15 to our overnight and day camps. At camp, they experience fun, friendship, and the great outdoors. The learning, support, and opportunities they receive help ignite their potential to Shine On all year round.
This year, our goal is to raise $245,000 to send over 600 children to camp—100 more than last year! With your generosity, we know we can make it happen!
We can't thank you enough for helping kids across the GTA experience unforgettable adventures in nature. Your contributions will help campers build lifelong friendships and lasting memories.
We look forward to seeing you on race day and celebrating your fundraising progress as you rally your supporters!
How to Get Involved

Fundraising Incentives
We know that helping kids make camp memories is a reward in itself, but the more you raise, the more kids can attend. We’re excited to introduce special rewards for your efforts!
