Camp Cherokee - Ways to Give - Kings Mountain, SC

Ways to Give

Camp Cherokee needs your support to assure we continue our commitment of providing the camp experience to future generations:

A+ Camper Program (student financial assistance)
Facility and activity improvements
Operations

A+ Camper Program

The A+ Camper Program was established in 2009 and provides full financial assistance to a selected number of students who are unable to afford camp and are chosen by their teachers and school administrators. The Upper Palmetto YMCA has partnered with the local county school districts to identify students who have shown improvement in academics, attendance and attitude in and out of school and offered them an opportunity to experience Camp Cherokee.

In 2009, we provided $10,500 in financial assistance and sent 28 students to camp. Please consider making a donation to the A+ Camper Program and help us continue to make a difference in the lives of these outstanding children.

Ways to Give

There are many ways to tailor your Camp Cherokee YMCA giving experience to best fit your personal preferences. Our most important needs are camp operations, capital improvements and camper financial assistance.

An outright gift is just as its name implies: a gift donated immediately from you to Camp Cherokee. You can use your gift to benefit an unrestricted or restricted need at Camp Cherokee, or you can have your gift expended for immediate use. Also, please consider donating to our newly created YMCA endowment fund (The Heritage Club) where your gift is invested in perpetuity in support of generations to come.
