Giving — How you can support Nancamp
Since its inception as a non-profit organization in 1991, Nancamp has sponsored over 400 kids whose lives are affected by cancer to the Lynch/Van Otterloo YMCA Summer Day Camps and the Jewish Community Center’s Camp Simchah on the Hill. Children attend age appropriate programs including:
- Children’s Island Day Camp
- Children’s Island Islanders Camp
- Children’s Island Counselor-in-Training Program
- Children’s Island Sailing Camp
- YMCA Small Fry Camp
- YMCA Explorers Camp
- Camp Simchah on the Hill at the Jewish Community Center
Nancamp’s goal each summer is to provide a minimum of 30 kids with this special opportunity to escape from the awful pressure, sadness and fear cancer is causing in their young lives, whether the cancer is their own or that of a family member.
In 2010, for example, Nancamp sent to camp six children who have been treated for cancer, twelve children whose mothers have cancer, eight siblings of a child with cancer, four children whose mother recently passed away, and two children whose father recently passed away.
Thanks to the generosity of our donors, all camp fees and reasonable associated expenses, such as transportation, are covered by the Nancy Bostley Memorial Fund.
We would welcome your support for Nancamp, and ask that you consider making a contribution to this unique program for children. When giving to Nancamp, please know that we are an all-volunteer, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization.
Nancamp’s costs for these camp programs are:
- $530 for a two-week session at Children’s Island Day Camp
- $480 for a two-week session of Islanders Camp
- $315 for a two-week session of Counselor-in-Training

- $275 for a two-week, morning-only session of Small Fry Camp
- $285 for a two-week, morning-only session of Explorers Camp

There are several options available to support Nancamp including:

An acknowledgement of your contribution to Nancamp is sent in your name.
