Family Weekend is coming!

Join us October 16 - 18 for a weekend filled with arts & crafts, tractor rides, archery, horse rides, and all the other camp fun you remember from summer. Campers and their immediate family members are invited to come make some memories together!

Families can choose to stay the entire weekend at camp or join us for the day on Saturday when the majority of activities take place. Lodges and cabins are available for families who would like to stay overnight, with housing available on a first-come, first-served basis.

And just like our summer program, Family Weekend is FREE for all participants. Register here: https://ymcatoledo.jotform.com/261736434278969

40 truly has never looked so good. What an absolute blast we had yesterday celebrating Camp Catch-A-Rainbow’s 40th birthday. A huge thank you to all the alumni who joined us in what turned out to be a rockin’ party thanks to 11 Across.

Here’s to the last 40(ish) hours of this year’s camp and to the next 40+ plus years of CCAR!

We’re throwing it back to 1986 today at Camp Catch-A-Rainbow. Anyone remember seeing these styles when camp first started up?

Every camper this week is well-cared for thanks to our amazing team of nurses and doctors donating their time. Thank you so much to the 2026 Camp Catch-A-Rainbow med staff for keeping everyone safe and healthy during camp!!

The first day of camp is in the books! 67 campers checked in today to kick off our 40th summer.

Everyone is sleeping now, resting up for a day of archery, horseback riding, tower climbing and more tomorrow.

We're now under FIVE DAYS away from camp starting! Thanks to a donation from Team NEGU, the Jessie Rees Foundation, all of our campers this year will be receiving a Joy Jar at check in! These jars contain toys and goodies for the kids to enjoy during their time at camp and when they go home.

We can never state enough how grateful we are for so many people coming together to support all of our campers every single year. Thanks to everyone for making CCAR such a magical place.

We know sending your child to camp, especially for the first time, can come with a lot of questions.

That’s why camp is built to be a safe, supportive, and fully staffed environment where kids are cared for, understood, and encouraged every step of the way.

And this year, they’ll be part of something even bigger: our 40th anniversary celebration.

If you’re on the fence, we’re here to help answer any questions.
