Military Family Fund
The mission of Camp Corral is to transform the lives of children of wounded, ill and fallen military heroes by providing camp, advocacy and enrichment programs.
Please help us help these families and children:
More than 50% of these children say that no one understands what it’s like to be a part of a military family
69% of these parents say their children are in volved in care giving tasks in their household.
10% of parents shared their children had participated in self-harm or had thoughts of suicide.
Your support for these children is important for their well-being. At South Mountain YMCA Camps we believe all children should have an equal start at life, please help us help them.
- Supporter ($1-$499), help to reduce isolation by providing an opportunity for military children to attend camp.
- Bronze ($500-$999), help to reduce uncertainty by providing military children the opportunity to just be kids for a entire week.
- Silver ($1,000-$2,499), help to build strength by providing military children an environment where outdoor education activities instill a belief in their own resilience.
- Gold ($2,500-$4,999), help military children instill pride in themselves by recognizing that we understand their sacrifice and know that “Kids Serve Too!”
- Platinum ($5,000 and up), provide a week away for 8 or more military children to just be kids in an environment where special friendships are formed and campers gain comfort knowing their concerns are normal.
The Cindy Boscov Safe Berks Scholarship Fund
The South Mountain YMCA Camps is fortunate to introduce a new giving opportunity, the Cindy Boscov Safe Berks Scholarship Fund. The Cindy Boscov Safe Berks Scholarship Fund provides the opportunity for children in the Safe Berks residential program to attend Bynden Wood Day Camp and benefit from the joy and freedom of camping in a safe and structured environment. Each year, donations of up to $5000 are matched by Cindy’s family to give as many children as possible a wonderful summer experience. Please support this worthy effort.
A teacher, wife, mother, and volunteer, Cindy may be best remembered as a problem-solver here in Berks County. Whether at the Goggleworks, or with Safe Berks, or one of any number of charities that benefited from her service, Cindy worked to bring people together and lift this community up. She is sorely missed. At Camp, we are pleased to partner with Safe Berks in her memory to provide day camp scholarships to a vulnerable population.
