What a difference a day can make!


We are incredibly grateful to the Deloitte Hartford team for spending their 2026 Impact Day at YMCA Camp Ingersoll. The amount of work accomplished in just a few hours was remarkable. Every project completed helps create a better experience for campers this summer.

More importantly, your team's enthusiasm, teamwork, and commitment to service demonstrated exactly what community partnership looks like in action.


As we continue our Send a Kid to Camp campaign, it's inspiring to see so many individuals and organizations investing in the camp experience. Whether through volunteerism, philanthropy, or advocacy, every contribution helps ensure more children have the opportunity to discover confidence, friendship, and belonging at camp.


Thank you for investing your time and talents in Camp Ingersoll and the children and families we serve. We can't wait for campers to enjoy the spaces you helped improve!
