YMCA Camp Mohawk Inc.

Hi Everyone!

We are the 2025 session 1-2 CIT's of YMCA Camp Mohawk. Within the CIT (Counselor in training) program, we help campers by providing them with guidance and support while also furthering our own learning of leadership, independence, and more. We have been tasked with creating a legacy project to leave our mark on the camp in a way that will improve camp in a creative way.

As the CIT's of these first two sessions, we plan to raise enough money in order to create a circle of hammocks to revamp a much loved area in our camp called The Hollow. Through these hammocks, we hope to create a space where campers can create new friendships, decompress, rest, and of course have lots fun with friends old and new.

Hello everyone!

We are the 2024 Session 1 and 2 CITs (Counselors In Training). Each year, the CITs are tasked with creating a legacy project. A legacy project is a project each CIT group creates, develops, and implements to better Mohawk for future generations. This year, our project is centered around making the unique history of Camp Mohawk more accessible to all. We plan on installing three signs around camp, detailing the history of specific areas. Each of these signs will encompass a different aspect of Mohawk’s fascinating history through images, documents, and text. A sign by the main office will detail general history and land ownership of the property. Another sign by the waterfront will focus on the origins of camp and where it all began next to the pond. The third sign will be installed at the trailhead of Mohawk Mountain to delve into Mohawk's fascinating indigenous background as well as the history of the mountain itself. We will be using the funds we raise to purchase the three signs. We hope you’ll join us in our passion for educating the Mohawk community on the great history of the camp we know and love today.

Thank you for your consideration,

The CITs

Hi, we are the Camp Mohawk CITs! We are raising funds for our Legacy Project which is to create signs in front of each unit. This would be beneficial to new campers as well as old, giving directions as well as creating a sense of community and comfort to the camp. Some units already have signs, however they're too small to be noticeable or effective. Our proposed signs, modeled after the Mohawk sign at the entrance to camp, would be positioned right next to each unit, visible to everyone passing by.

We would greatly appreciate for anyone who can to donate to our project! The donations we raise go towards the building, installation, and upkeep of the signs.

Thank you so much!
