The Impact of Camp Piomingo

Hear from our executive director, parents, and young campers how Camp Piomingo has made a positive impact on their growth and wellness. 

  • Becca Engler, mother of seven, juggles motherhood and financial strains, making tough choices to keep them afloat. Summer camp at YMCA’s Camp Piomingo seemed impossible until fate intervened. With minutes to spare at a registration event, and the help of Camp Piomingo’s Director, Kimberly Green, they enrolled and secured spots for five of the children. Preparing the kids for camp was a scramble, but the Engler family managed to get all five packed and out the door. While the older children were away, Becca savored rare quiet moments with her two youngest.

    Becca but noticed a change in the five upon their return. Anna, once shy, exuded confidence. The bonds that the children forged at camp brought harmony to their household, a lasting impact beyond memories or skills. Camp Piomingo fostered a sense of belonging, hope for possibilities, and a journey of self-discovery for each child.

    This summer, six kids will return, with Amos joining for the first time. Anna will be a counselor-in-training, continuing the journey. The impact extends beyond their family, touching the heart of Kimberly Green, the camp’s director. With YMCA support, Kimberly ensures the Engler and other families experience the magic of summer camp. Scholarship recipients embracing camp life reaffirms Kimberly’s belief in inclusive communities.

Program Philosophy

Since 1938, YMCA Camp Piomingo has been providing inspiring, engaging and educational co-ed camp programs for children ages 6-16. Camp uses a variety of activities to instill core values and life lessons in our future leaders. Through these activities, campers learn the YMCA’s core values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility. We added a fifth core value of faith—faith in yourself and others.

Camp also enables growth in character, confidence, and courage. Leadership development is also a core component of camp, designed to prepare teens for future counselor positions.
