4th Annual Chill for Change at YMCA Camp Ingersoll

Join us for January's monthly family event and help send kids to camp! When you give the gift of camp, you might just get one in return!

Camp Families, Middlesex YMCA Staff, and Local Supporters of YMCA Camp Ingersoll are coming together to help provide life changing experiences for children this summer! Gather your friends and family and take the plunge with us into Job’s Pond at the 4th Annual Chill for Change on January 13th, 2018.

Over the past three years the Chill for Change has raised over $25,000 which has supported camp scholarships for over 100 children. Every year we set a goal to raise more funds than the years past to increase the impact this event has on our community. This year, the individual who raises the most money will receive a certificate for A FREE SESSION OF CAMP this summer. This certificate can be used for your own family, or gifted to anyone you know who could benefit from a one-of-a-kind experience at Camp Ingersoll!

In an effort to raise awareness about the impact of Camp Ingersoll and to continue to offer fun, exciting, and new experiences to bring families together, we would like to invite all families to come down to camp and watch us Chill for a Life-Changing camp experience! There will be food, snacks, and s’mores for sale as well as music, and good cheer as we gather around the bonfire to watch families and friends jump into the freezing Job’s Pond! All proceeds from this event will go directly towards providing scholarships for camp this summer! When it comes to providing life changing experiences for children, every dollar counts!

YMCA Camp Ingersoll has been a long standing pillar of youth development in the Middlesex community. Over 1,300 campers attended camp during the summer of 2017 while over 110 counselors provided countless opportunities for them to learn skills, make friends, build confidence, and have fun in a diverse setting. All funds raised by our Annual Chill for Change go directly towards providing these opportunities to children.
