FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE Our goal is to provide as many summer day camp experiences as possible. Each year the number of families in need grows. We will make every attempt to assist families with registering their children for one of our camps. Eligibility is based on financial need and requires completion of a Y Cares application and proof of income. Applications are now available at the YMCA Welcome Centers as well as the website. Financial assistance will be awarded on a first come first serve basis. There is limited funding so get your application in early. Award letters will be mailed out within two weeks of receipt of the application. Camp registration forms will not be accepted without an award letter. Financial assistance has been made available through the generous contributions of YMCA friends.
