2011 Annual Support Campaign

Your support of the YMCA of Honolulu, Camp Erdman's 2011 Strong Communities Annual Support Campaign ensures families that need financial assistance to participate in our wide range of camp programs are provided the opportunity to do so. With the current economic challenges going on in our community today the request from families needing financial assistance to participate has increased significantly.


During February and March, committed YMCA Camp Erdman volunteers and staff will be actively out in the community sharing about the positive impacts that the YMCA Camp Erdman has made in the life of children, teens and families from our special island community.

YMCA Camp Erdman’s summer resident camp program gives children and teens the chance to leave home, make new friends, gain an appreciation for the outdoors, learn from adult role models, strengthen values and allows them to take risks in a safe setting. Our own experience, as well as national research tells us that children and teens that participate in resident camp programs have a greater chance for success as the move forward in life.

Our family camp program provides families the opportunity to reconnect and enjoy each other away from the hustle and bustle of every day distractions. Families always share how much they value this program, and how they love the camp activities, staff and the food! Most importantly they have positive experiences together that help strengthen their family!

Through our Environmental Education, Leadership, Team Building and Conference Groupprograms we serve thousands of children and adults. These programs provide our island schools, churches, organizations, businesses and military opportunities to develop relationships, learn about the environment, enhance leadership skills and allows them to have a great time and in many cases create positive memories they will have for a lifetime.

All of these programs provide great value to our community and most often provides positive life changing impacts. This is especially true for disadvantaged children, teens and families.
