For more than six decades, children and families have come to Camp Kanata to learn about nature, to explore the great outdoors and create new friendships. While our traditions remain the same, our programs and needs are growing.

Our capital campaign will help modernize and renovate aging facilities; modern enhancements are vital to Kanata’s future success.

We invite you to help us grow in a way that’s beneficial for everyone we serve.

Dr. Wheeler’s daughter, Susan Wheeler Parker, and her husband, David Parker, created this fund to support the work of Camp Kanata and to provide financial assistance to campers with demonstrated need. Dr. Wheeler’s granddaughter, Laura Parker Bass, was both a camper and counselor at Camp Kanata.

Established in 2015 by Jerry Batchelor in memory of her husband Burnie and the rest of the family. Burnie was the Camp photographer for 40 years and wore his iconic red socks to take cabin portraits. The purpose of this endowment is to provide annual funds for financial assistance equally at Camps Sea Gull and Seafarer.

With so many buildings, boats, pools, roads, piers, bridges, and acres of land, it takes a lot of financial support to keep our Camps beautiful and safe for young people. This fund is designed to help offset these ongoing costs.

Funded by camp alumni and friends, this endowment meets the greatest needs of our camps year by year. Camp Directors, the Board of Directors, and the YMCA CEO oversee disbursements.

Created by former Camp directors Lloyd and Cille Griffith, this fund is an expression of gratitude to former Sea Gull and Seafearer employees. It provides scholarships to children of former staff; this may include Camp staff of any kind (past cabin counselor, housekeeper, grounds, director, cook, etc).

This fund was established in 2017 by volunteers to honor Lynn’s tenure as Seafarer’s Director for 12 years. It is a dedicated funding source to support the leadership development of Sea Gull and Seafarer’s team of directors. Because of the endowment, staff will have opportunities to grow as professionals and gain the necessary skills required to lead a new generation of summer staff.

Camp Sea Gull and Camp Seafarer have ongoing capital needs that have been identified to strengthen program and mission delivery.  Your support will play a critical role in these new and renewed facilities. Contact Camp to discuss specific project designations.

William J. Adams IV, son of Bill and Sarah Adams, was an outstanding camper, sailing counselor and leadership staff member at Camp Sea Gull.  When he passed away unexpectedly in 2003, many people made heart-felt contributions to Camp in honor of young Bill’s life.  The outpouring of support led Bill III, Sarah, and Emily Adams Livingston to ask Camp Sea Gull and Camp Seafarer to establish an endowment to fund scholarships for campers applying for financial assistance.  A regatta has been organized to raise money for the endowment.

Founded in 2019 by Alice Thoman Melott and supported by several of her fellow Seafarer alumnae, this fund’s purpose is to send girls to Camp Seafarer: daughters of single moms and essential workers like teachers, nurses, front-line and first responders, wellness and restaurant staffs.

This fund was established by Bill and Barbara Turnage Linton in 2009 to support the Seafarer Sailing Program. Barb and her sister, Brenda, were on the sailing staff at Seafarer in the 1980s, and Barb and Bill have had three children go to camp. The life lessons that Barb learned through sailing and caring for boats at Seafarer led her to want to pass along similar experiences to future campers.

Hannah Viall passed away as the result of a car accident on February 24, 2018, a month shy of her 16th birthday. She had a kind, generous and loving spirit, and her smile would light up a room.  Hannah had a way of reaching out to many people and making everyone feel loved and accepted.   She had a huge heart, never met a stranger, practiced acceptance, and had an abundance of love and compassion for everyone. 

The Hannah Viall Memorial Endowment has been set up at the YMCA of the Triangle, a place that Hannah loved dearly, in order to promote her legacy of respect, love and compassion for all.  A gift to this endowment will provide scholarships for dads and children wanting to participate in the Y Guides program and for teens wanting to participate in the Kerr Family YMCA Teen Leaders club. 

Thank you for remembering Hannah and her message of love through your generosity.
