West Jay Community Center INC.
Summer Day Camp 2026
Summer Day Camp 2026 is a wrap. We would like to thank everyone who supported us and made this year a success. Thank you to the Portland Foundation for their generosity, awarding us not one but two grants this year. The first grant helped with operations, and the second, from the Carl Bimel Fund, provided funding for food services when the state food program became unavailable to us. Jay County Drug Prevention Coalition was a new sponsor this year. They provided not only a grant but also Panera Bread products for our kids’ breakfast every day. The T-shirts donated by the Kiwanis were a hit with the kids and staff. A thank you to our generous donors: Rodgers Farms LLC, Lowe’s Heating & Cooling LLC, Jack & Pam Robbins, Loyal Order of Moose #1352, Glass Capital Chrysler, Barnum & Brown Insurance, West Jay Elementary 5th Grade, FCC (Indiana), and Dunkirk Elks BPOE 1776. A very special thanks to the parents, grandparents, and guardians who allowed us to care for their children this summer. Hope to see you all again next year.
