Give to Camp Menogyn

Donate Online

Thank you for your generosity and compassion!

Your information is secure and never shared. Please provide your email address and we will send you an immediate tax receipt.

There are several ways you can make a real and lasting impact on your camp community.

  • Annual Fund 
    The Annual Fund ensures that camps’ general day-to-day operational needs are met. Camper scholarships are also sourced from this fund.
  • Capital and Program Improvement Fund 
    The Capital and Program Improvement Fund allows camp to plan for the future and invest in infrastructure projects and programmatic improvements.
  • Equity in the Outdoors Fund 
    The Equity in the Outdoors Fund dismantles barriers and provide pathways to diversifying the camp community. We want everyone to have transformative experiences in nature and the wilderness.
  • Endowment Fund 
    An endowment is a gift that keeps on giving—the gift is retained and invested, and the earnings support the donors’ interests, and the camp community, in perpetuity. An endowment fund provides a stable source of revenue and makes Y programs accessible to more people by providing financial assistance and supplementing program fees.

You can designate your gift for the area of your choosing using the “Designation” dropdown menu in the form below.
