Updated June 6, 2020: at this time, as YWCA Vermont Camp Hochelaga navigates the suspension of our 2020 camp season in response to COVID-19, we ask you to consider making a contribution to help sustain Camp through this challenging period. Camp Hochelaga's Staff and Board of Directors are working hard to streamline operating costs and overhead expenses such that the organization's limited resources are put towards expenses that are essential to our ability to open our front gate for a strong 2021 season.
To learn more about how your contribution would help keep our lights on and our team in place, or what Camp Hochelaga's essential expenses include, please reach out! Give us a call (802) 862-7520, or email contactus@ywcavt.org.
CAMP HOCHELAGA STRIVES TO GIVE 100 SCHOLARSHIPS TO AT-RISK YOUTH IN OUR COMMUNITY EACH SUMMER
Your gift today to the Circle of Girls scholarship fund will make reaching this goal possible. With the support of generous donors like you, we can raise the $40,000.00 needed to offer 100 youth in our community the opportunity to have empowering, strength-building camp experiences during 2021. Help complete the circle with your gift today!
At Camp Hochelaga we believe that each and every person has a light to share with others. We all share our light in different ways. Hochelaga campers share their light by supporting friends through challenges. Our counselors share their light by teaching new skills with patience and positivity, by leading with kindness, and by ensuring that all Hochelaga campers see their own inner strengths.
We are here to ask you to share your light by making the magic of Camp Hochelaga possible for youth in need from our community.
