Campfire Across America 2026
This July, Ys across the country are coming together for Campfire Across America, a one-day, nationwide celebration of connection, community, and belonging.
On July 22, 2026, YMCAs across the country will host campfires—real or symbolic— as part of our 175th anniversary celebration. Gather your community, share stories, reflect, and make memories that will resonate far beyond your Y.
