Cobb YMCA campers help send other kids to camp

Campers at the Northwest Family YMCA in Kennesaw are collecting change this week for donation to the Northwest Family Y Kids to Camp campaign.

Y kids have challenged the Rotary Club of North Cobb to match any change they collect. The campers and Rotary members will combine the money on Friday for a presentation to the Family camp.

The presentation begins at noon at the Northwest Family YMCA, 1700 Dennis Kemp Lane in Marietta.

This year 122 out of 425 campers received a total of about $10,000 in financial assistance at the Family YMCA summer camp.
