Few YMCA programs offer more opportunity to serve the association mission that camping does. In resident sessions, community is established and individual campers grow in spirit, mind, and body as they experience outdoor programs and facilities at Warner-Tully Memorial YMCA Camp. Children interact with other campers and skilled leaders in its outdoor centered programs. Camping helps youth become aware of their physical and mental capabilities, to recognize the value of cooperation, and to gain confidence. AQUATICS: YMCA aquatics involve individual young people, infants, adults and family groups in programs ranging from Mom 'n Tot swim times to older adult water exercise and therapy. Many learn to swim in YMCA swim Programs and enhance their safety, fitness and enjoyment through Y aquatics. Our Family Swim times gives adults and children shared time in the pools. They learn to appreciate one another while promoting happy and healthy families.

Swimming and outdoor activities are added to the core program activities. No child is denied participation because of a parent's inability to pay the moderate fees.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2018 to 2019, from $19M to $13M (−34%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2018 0% · 2019 0% · 2020 0% · 2021 0% · 2022 1% · 2023 0% · 2024 0% · 2025 5%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
