Campfire Keepers keep the fire of Wanakita burning bright...

 

They are stewards of the buildings, the land, and the lake, but even more, Campfire Keepers are stewards of developing young leaders and creating memorable camp experiences.  

Through a monthly donation, Campfire Keepers make it possible for every young person and family to experience the magic of YMCA Wanakita. Their support provides financial assistance to those who need it most while helping sustain and improve Wanakita’s cabins, canoes, guitars, and facilities—ensuring every visit is safe, memorable, and full of adventure.

 

We invite those who have a passion for YMCA Wanakita, its sustainability as a physical place—but also as a place that ignites the potential in every person— to join us in giving back and investing in this incredibly meaningful place.

Become a Campfire Keeper today.
