At Camp Mini-Yo-We, we believe childhood should be filled with unstructured play: running, climbing, sliding, and discovering the joy of being outdoors. That’s why one of the core projects of our 2024 Christmas Campaign is to build a brand-new Junior Camp playground designed for our youngest campers.
Why a New Playground?
Our existing playground has been a beloved part of Mini-Yo-We for years, but it’s time for an upgrade. The new design features more slides, climbing elements, and interactive structures made from durable, low-maintenance materials. This playground offers a safe, engaging space for kids to explore and have fun while they develop crucial social and physical skills.
“Play is vital to childhood development,” says Spencer Tamming, Operations Director at Camp Mini-Yo-We. “This new playground will allow kids to connect, build friendships, and simply enjoy being kids. It’s not just about the equipment; it’s about creating an environment that fosters creativity and joy.”
A Space for Every Season
One of the most exciting aspects of this project is its year-round appeal. While summer campers will be the primary users, the playground will also be fantastic for guest groups visiting during the fall, winter, and spring seasons. It’s a gift that keeps giving, enhancing the Mini-Yo-We experience for all who visit.
How You Can Make This Playground a Reality
Your donation can help us bring this vision to life by Spring 2025. Your gift this Christmas will ensure hundreds of children have a place to play, laugh, and create lasting memories for years to come.
While the Junior Camp playground is a major focus for us, it’s also part of a more extensive campaign aimed at enhancing the entire Mini-Yo-We experience. Your gift also supports:
- Home Adventures Expansion: Keep the Camp spirit alive year-round with activity packs that bring faith and fun into families’ homes.
- Bouldering Wall Addition: Help campers reach new heights with a bouldering wall, which will build skills and confidence.
