For generations, campfires have brought people together. They’re where stories are shared, friendships are formed, and everyone has a seat. At the Y, creating these moments of connection has always been at the heart of what we do, and this summer, we’re bringing that tradition to life in a powerful, shared way. On July 22, 2026, Ys across the country are coming together for Campfire Across America, a one-night, nationwide celebration of connection, community, and belonging.
