Make a Gift

As a charitable organization, the Becket-Chimney Corners YMCA is dependent upon contributed dollars to maintain the quality of our programs and facilities. Gifts to the Becket-Chimney Corners YMCA help provide camperships, fund programs, improve facilities, support program and staff development and assist in creating other exceptional leadership opportunities for staff and campers worldwide. While Camp Becket and Chimney Corners Camp both offer high quality programs, the tuition remains far lower than comparable camps in the northeast and covers only a portion of the cost of programs and related services. Gifts and income from past endowments make up the difference.
