A strong endowment is the financial foundation of any organization. This is particularly true at YMCA Camp Sea Gull and YMCA Camp Seafarer where our unrestricted endowment provides a stream of income to the operating budget each year and gives us the ability to plan and make strategic decisions with financial security.
Camp's unrestricted endowment income is combined with earnings from restricted named endowments and works in tandem with the Camp Annual Campaign to ensure funds are available to:
- Provide financial assistance to a wide economic spectrum of families to make Camp possible for those who would not otherwise be able to attend
- Update program equipment that enhances the Camp experience
- Support staff and leadership development to make sure our leaders are the best trained and most effective in the camping industry
- Address ongoing maintenance and upkeep of facilities
- Provide camp opportunities for our neighbors in Pamlico County and surrounding communities
By helping grow Camp's endowment, you aren’t just helping Camp Sea Gull and Camp Seafarer this year or next, you are helping ensure the traditions, purpose and commitment to excellence that you believe in will influence and enhance the lives of campers for generations to come.
