According to Brian Madden, Chairmen, Board of Directors, YMCA Camp Letts “Chesapeake Wingstock Festival is one of the annual fundraising events hosted by YMCA Camp Letts to raise money for the "Caring for Community" Campaign which annually sends over 200 deserving children who otherwise would not be able to attend camp each summer on partial or full scholarships for a life changing camp experience. The true beauty of YMCA Camp Letts is it allows, fosters and encourages kids to be kids in a safe positive family environment!"
YMCA Camp Letts was founded in 1906 and is one of the oldest operating Overnight Camps in the nation. YMCA Camp Letts serves over 2,000 children each summer in One and Two week Resident Camps, Traditional Day Camps, Equestrian Day Camps, Specialty Camps, Leaders in Training and Counselor in Training programs.

About YMCA Camp Letts – a summer tradition since 1906.
YMCA Camp Letts, located on the beautiful Rhode River off the sparkling Chesapeake Bay, overlooks three islands and a 2,600-acre preserve that has served as the backdrop for over 100 summers of land-based and aquatic adventures. It all began in 1906, when YMCA Boys Work Director Albert M. Chesley pitched camp on five acres along the South River, initiating what is now the oldest organized overnight camp in the Washington area. The camp moved in 1922 to its present location, thanks to the generosity of John Cowen Letts, and today youngsters from the Baltimore-Washington- Annapolis area and beyond flock to this secure and exciting environment to kindle friendships and master new skills — all the while learning more about themselves, their peers and the world in which they live.
