Complete the Fleet Campaign in support of Camp Nokomis and Camp Lawrence
About Complete the Fleet Campaign
The Complete the Fleet volunteer committee came together to raise $2 million to renovate and replace three fleet of boats that serve Camp Nokomis and Camp Lawrence. Through the generosity of camp friends and alumni, the campaign has reached $1.8 million!
The success has allowed for the repowering of the Bear and the purchase of two new passenger boats that were all in service for the 2024 season. Now, the Complete the Fleet Committee is focused on raising the remaining $200,000 for the final phase to allow the purchase of program and utility boats, and the expansion of the main docks at each camp.

Island Transportation – the lifeline of YMCA Camp Lawrence and Camp Nokomis
At the Merrimack Valley YMCA Camp Lawrence for boys and Camp Nokomis for girls, generations of campers and staff have and continue to laugh, play, develop friendships, build confidence, learn new skills, and create memories. Our programs celebrate the value of each individual and challenge campers and staff to discover their potential.
Living on an island is magical. Anyone who has been a camper at one of our island camps understands this. The magic begins the first time you ride across Lake Winnipesaukee, escorted on The Bear, to a place that will change your life forever.
Thousands of boys and girls make the crossing – both physically and emotionally – returning home more confident, more independent and more prepared to face life’s obstacles. If you understand the value of an island camp experience, please consider supporting the Fleet Campaign.
As Debbie Parker likes to say…
