Turning gratitude into giving<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the YMCA of the Triangle<\/a>, Camp is more than a summer experience. It\u2019s where young people build confidence, friendships, and independence in a welcoming environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To build on that connection, the team launched a Parent Giving Challenge across two brother\/sister overnight camps: Camp Sea Gull and Camp Seafarer. After each session, parents received pickup and end-of-session details, along with an invitation to give in support of their child\u2019s cabin or in honor of a counselor who made an impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When parents land on a page and see their child\u2019s group name or cabin, it creates an immediate sense of connection and buy-in. There\u2019s also a natural sense of competition, because families can track progress and standings in real time.<\/p>\n\n \n
