The Bright Society
The YMCA of the Triangle's legacy society, formerly the Heritage Club, was renamed the Bright Society in 2024 to honor the late YMCA executive and Camp Seafarer executive, Judy Bright. The Bright Society recognizes donors who give through endowments or planned giving.
By including Camp Sea Gull and Camp Seafarer in your estate plans, you can help ensure that Camp continues to influence, transform, and adjust the sails of future generations.
How You Can Help
You can help support the future generation of Camp Sea Gull and Camp Seafarer campers through a bequest, beneficiary designations, real estate gifts, charitable remainder trust or endow an annual gift.
We can help you get started. Fill out the Planned Giving Intent form below or contact Gretchen Hyde via email or phone at 919-582-9313.
Choosing to Leave a Legacy
You and your loved ones have experienced the magic of Camp and you understand the transformation that happens during summer in Arapahoe with lasting friendships, life skills, self-confidence.
You know Camp is more than a vacation; it is a life-changing opportunity.
Give campers of tomorrow the same experience - strong role models, enduring friendships, and priceless memories.
It is important that we give back to the places that gave us so much. Setting up our gift was as easy as a ten-minute phone call with our financial advisor. Through our estate planning, we want to ensure that Camp Sea Gull & Camp Seafarer will continue to impact future generations. We want our great-grandchildren to experience the magic of Camp just like we did!
Planned Giving Intention
Camp has been changing lives for generations. Since 1948, young people have been developing leadership skills, creating lifelong friendships and learning important life skills on the Crystal Coast. We invite you to become an Anchor for future campers by leaving Camp Sea Gull and/or Camp Seafarer in your will.
