YMCA Camp Lincoln Wish List

Camp receives many generous gifts each year to help further the YMCA’s mission.  A wish list is a way for individuals and businesses to contribute from their existing treasures or to donate a specific item that may be purchased on behalf of camp. 

• Baseball/softball gloves -  Our sports program is limited in these activities by the lack of gloves and the cost associated with outfitting a team
• Bicycles -  BMX and mountain bikes (20) are needed for the new BMX track and for Adventure Camp
• Camp radio station – Camp is seeking equipment to have a camper led radio station that can have music and news piped directly into each cabin during Siesta and designated times.
• Camp Stoves – Two burner propane camping stoves (2) are needed for the adventure camp
• Costumes – Skits and crazy drama props are needed for summer camp and the year round camp programs
• Field Mower – A standing mower is needed for the current and the new field.
• Flag pole – A flag pole is needed in each village (3)
• GPS Unit – Map and compass skills are taught at camp and introducing a GPS unit will supplement a campers knowledge
• Handheld  radios/walkie-talkies – Staff around camp communicate via radios and additional equipment will replace the older models
• Hand tools – Woodworking camp is very popular and the program is seeking to expand to the traditional camp
• Kayaks/canoes – New and nearly new canoes, kayaks, paddles and flotation devices are needed for the continued growth of the boating program
• Laptop – A computer with Windows 2000 or better will be used with the LCD projector for presentations
• LCD Projector – A projector is needed to show Power Point presentations for staff training and camper led projects
• Lumber – Thousands of board feet of lumber is needed for a variety of camp projects and for woodworking camp.
• Popcorn machine – A popcorn machine is needed for hundreds of campers
• Pottery wheels – The pottery program is very popular and is in need of additional wheels
• Power tools – A host of projects are completed by volunteers and power tools and building equipment is needed 
• Pick up truck – A road worthy truck is needed
• Ski boat – You never know unless you ask.  A water ski boat would create new programming and new camps for older campers.
• Storage sheds – Four wooden 8’ X 10’ or larger storage sheds are needed to store equipment in each program area
• Vehicle – A gently used vehicle is needed for the staff to run errands and visit after school programs.
• War Canoes – A war canoe is much larger than a regular canoe (seats 10-14 campers) and is a great way to work together as a team
• Other????? – The sky is the limit on materials and equipment that would further the YMCA mission.
