Character at Camp Initiative

"The American Camp Association® (ACA) is honored to announce that Lilly Endowment Inc. has awarded ACA a $45,535,623 grant to support the creation of a new, multiyear initiative to grow, improve, and celebrate character development at camps across the United States."

CYO Camp is thrilled to be a part of this. We have always believed in the power of camp to shape a child's perception of themselves and how they will fit into the world. The camp experience can be essential in how children and adults grow in their ability to be people of good character.

Through this intuitive, CYO Camp and many other camps will gain a deeper understanding of how what we do at camp makes its impact. There will be opportunities to learn from experts and other camp professionals. In addition, we will be able to apply for grants through the initiative.
