Camp Corral at Camp Gorham

Camp Corral

Summer 2021: June 27 – July 3

Camp Corral, a 501 (c) (3) tax-exempt, non-profit corporation, is a free, one-of-a-kind summer camp for children of wounded, disabled or fallen military service members. Camp Corral is proudly sponsored by its founding sponsor, Golden Corral Corporation, and other generous donors.

YMCA Camp Gorham is one of twenty two sites in the nation selected to host Camp Corral. Registration opens January 2021. Enrollment space is limited so apply early!

Providing positive, recreational experiences in the outdoors helps foster resilience, and Camp Corral has proven to be a ‘week of a lifetime.’ The week also encourages the campers to create friendships and bond with other kids who share similar family situations. Your camper will spend the week outdoors enjoying the many traditional overnight camp activities Camp Gorham has to offer: swimming, kayaking, canoeing, paddle boards, mountain biking, fishing, archery, high ropes, zip line, hiking, wilderness, and more! Please view our overnight camp brochure for all Camp Gorham has to offer.

Who can attend?
Any child, ages 8-15 of a military family may attend. However, registration priority is given to children of wounded, injured, ill, or fallen military service members.

How does my camper apply?
The camper’s parent or legal guardian must complete their camper’s Camp Corral application online on the Camp Corral website.

What happens after I apply?
YMCA Camp Gorham will review applications to ensure your camper meets the established guidelines. Once accepted you will be sent instructions on parent/medical forms, what to bring to camp, and arrival and departure times.
