South Shore YMCA Receives $11,000 YUSA Overnight Camp Access Grant

Posted: Jan. 13, 2025

The South Shore YMCA is excited to announce that we have received an $11,000 Overnight Camp Access Grant from YUSA. This grant will help ensure that children have the opportunity to attend Camp Burgess and Hayward, our renowned resident camp in Sandwich, during the summer of 2025.

Camp Burgess and Hayward offers a transformative summer experience where kids can build confidence, foster lifelong friendships, and develop a love for the outdoors. With this generous grant, more children will have access to the joy and growth that come with overnight camp, regardless of financial barriers.

“We are deeply grateful to YUSA for their continued support of our mission to provide all children with the chance to enjoy the enriching experience of summer camp,” said Bruce Netherwood, Vice President of Camping Services for the South Shore YMCA.
