5th Annual Chill for Change Fundraiser at YMCA Camp Ingersoll

Give the Gift of Camp – Get a Gift of Camp

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 5th Annual Chill for Change on January 12th, 2019.

Over the past four years the Chill for Change has raised over $30,000 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. Each 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! 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!
