Annual Golf Tournament Benefiting Camp ClarkEvent Date: August 9th 2022Our SponsorsHistory of the TournamentIn 2004, a passionate group of dedicated volunteers led by Dr. Andy Miller, who was also a member of the Plymouth Y Board of Governors at the time teamed up with a group of generous and philanthropic White Cliffs Country Club residents to develop and run a golf tournament to give all kids the chance to experience a summer at Camp Clark. Since then, the tournament, led by a group of committed and passionate committee members have continued to grow and flourish. White Cliffs has helped us raise over $226K over the past 14 years providing over 1,130 kids the opportunity to experience camp.

Old Colony YMCA began working within the town of Plymouth in 1979 when we acquired 83 beautiful acres alongside Hyles Pond that now serves as our summer camp, Camp Clark. Each year, more than 3,400 children attend a week or more at Camp Clark enjoying a holistic curriculum including aquatics, group games, youth sports (including baseball, basketball, soccer, t-ball, etc), ropes course, team-building activities, archery, arts and crafts, humanities offerings, and educational pursuits such as literacy and math activity packs, library time and more. Camp Clark is not just a place to spend the summer – it is a place where children make memories while receiving encouragement and support from caring mentors. It is a place where children receive the guidance they need to make the right decisions in life, learn skills that give them extra confidence when they return to school and make friendships that will last a lifetime. In the process, they have an absolute blast and are deeply impacted by their time spent at camp!Thank you for your consideration!
